These are excellent folders for anyone who needs to have sturdy folders for their paperwork, projects or presentations. Some of the advantages to these folders are they fit very well in a file cabinet, in a folder box and I also carry them around in my backpack when I'm going to a class or presentation. I like the bright colors because I can keep my different projects separated. I also like the bright colors because it makes a great presentation when you're trying to display them at a business meeting or a class activity. I use these all the time and I'm sure they'll be able to last for a very long time considering their great durability and the fact that they are very well made. I would highly recommend these folders to anyone in business or school or any field where you need to make presentations or make a good impression on the people that you're dealing with. I have had many people asked me where I got them and how I like them. I'm always happy to tell them that I got them at Staples and that I really love the folders and plan to get more. I recommend these to anyone in business or school or someone who plans to store them for a long period of time. These are really wonderful folders and I love the colors.

Good product with limitations. This is a folder POCKET, not a file JACKET, so it's too narrow to hold a standard manila folder (11 1/8" vs. 11 1/2"). I thought I would slide my manila folder into this poly folder to protect it and make it easier to handle, but it doesn't fit. I cut a strip off the manila folder to make it fit, but the poly folder should be 3/8" wider.

Product description doesn't clearly explain that it expands to 3/4" or 150 sheets of paper. It's somewhat difficult to expand it - had to individually fold and crease all six lines on each one.

Since the poly folder only has tabs on left (as pictured), it doesn't file well in a cabinet since all the tabs are on the left side (I'm used to using third-cut tab folders). If I could slide the manila folders into the poly ones (back to that!), then I could read from the manila folder tabs. It's annoying to have to cut the manila folders.

The blue and purple colors are so dark they interfere with visibility (orange and green are light enough, red is borderline).

The product is durable and serviceable, as long as the limitations are understood.

I've searched everywhere for poly folders like these, they are very hard to find. I needed to replace poly folders I've had for years. So glad I found them they are great.

These folders would be wonderful if they would expand like the heavy paper expanding folders do. Can only put a small number of papers within these folders. Can use for small projects.

Comments about Staples® Poly File Folder Pockets, Letter, Assorted, 5/Pack:

I was looking for plain pocket folders when I found these. Often I lay folders down in various locations where there is moisture on the table and everything gets wet. I like the assorted colors. It allows me to quickly identify the correct folder. They are large ennough for many differents uses. They also come with several adhesive labels if you wish to place a label on the folder. After I purchased these, I found so many uses that I went back and purchased more the following day. Great
