Check out the wide selection of Pendaflex folders and filing accessories at Staples® to find the right products for any office.

Embrace the Flexibility of Pendaflex Hanging Folder Frames
Most Pendaflex hanging frames are adjustable. A fixed frame can fit either legal or letter size hanging folders, with no flexibility to handle odd sizes. An adjustable unit has a slider that expands its width to fit both file sizes. Adjustable hanging frames feature adaptability to different drawers and filing cabinets sizes. While users usually need exact drawer measurements when looking for frames, adjustable models take the restrictions away.

It’s important to note the minimum and maximum sizes of an adjustable hanging folder frame. For example, one with an expansion range of 14 - 18 inches is suitable for most desk drawers. However, you’ll need a unit that can adjust up to 27 inches for large filing cabinets. All Pendaflex hanging file frames are easy to assemble. There are no nuts and bolts to secure and putting them together requires no tools.

Simplify and Organize Filing Systems With Dividers and Guides
Dividers and guides are for organizing records into separate sections. While dividers go inside folders and work with fasteners, guides sit between files atop the dividers. Out guides, an additional feature, track file removals. These can have preprinted forms, ruled index cards, or pockets for such documents. Consider these featured accessories when considering hanging folder frame systems.

Shoppers should also note tab sizes and positions for the guides. Tabs with 1/3 cuts are longer, and can fit whole words, while 1/5-cut tabs  are shorter, accommodating numbers and letters, like abbreviated dates. If you opt for top-tab dividers and guides, make sure they’re at least 0.5 inches taller than standard files. This makes labels visible and folders easier to retrieve.

Are Pendaflex Guides and Dividers Suitable for Heavy Daily Use?
Yes. These dividers feature heavyweight manila and pressboard paper, and guides are polypropylene plastic. These dividers are more rigid than most standard file folders. For long-lasting guides, look for pressboard units with steel top tabs. Plus, Poly guides come in different bright colors and are useful for color-coded file groupings.

What Materials Do Pendaflex Hanging Folder Frames Use?
Frames are available in both plastic and metal frames. Plastic models are flexible and lighter. Use them to suspend slim hanging files holding fewer sheets. Metal frames are heavier duty, and made from premium-grade, rust-proof coated steel, making them best suitable for expansion folders. The coating prevents rusting, gives frames smooth finishes, and helps hanging folders slide easily.

What Type of Preprinted Guide Sets Does Pendaflex Offer?
Guides with preprinted tabs simplify file labeling and are a great choice for alphabetic and numerical indexing systems. Choose units with A to Z and 1 to 31 labels, depending on the filing system needed. There are also guides with calendar tabs supplied in sets of 12, providing guides for each month of the year.

The translucent file tabs and label inserts are the lifeblood of any hanging file system, so having all the colors and sizes in stock is best. Joined with Pendaflex hanging frames, any office becomes a more efficient and effective office.
