Pros: Enough pockets to hold our files. This is good for filing in alphabetical order, like customer names. It can hold a lot. When fully expanded, it is a BOX.
Cons: There are no label tabs-Letters are printed on top edge of each pocket. The pockets are 1.5-inch deeper than letter-sized paper, not very convenient, but it will be good to fit larger paper. The top edge of each pocket is a bit sharp to touch. It will be good if protected/reinforced by something. The flap does not close well when file expanded.
Overall, this is a good filing tool. I recommend it.

I bought this folder because it was the only availale eco-friendly (but only 10% recycled post-consumer waste--not enough) portfolio/folder/organizer/filer. Unfortunately, it is not a very quality product. It is bulky, but very flimsy and I do not see it lasting very long, which is sad because I don't even use it heavily! I wish more eco-friendly (and higher percentages of recycled materials!!!) products were available at Staples AND other retailers (all types), but this is not the case. And, very unfortunately, as with most eco-friendly products...they just do not have the same quality as "regular" products--SIGH. This country needs to WAKE UP and realize the dire need for ONLY eco-friendly options!!! I would still recommend this product ONLY because it is eco-friendly and the RIGHT CHOICE for consumers to make in this day and age!
Comments about Staples® Kraft Expanding Files, Letter, A-Z Index with Flap-Elastic Cord, Each:
Very poor usability due to combination of stiffness (brittle and thin) and low capacity to expand. Edges of file pockets are rough/sharp. Selecting a file pocket is clumsy due to stiffness and very low flexibility.
