Pendaflex Hanging File Folders

Cut down on office clutter by organizing documents with Pendaflex® hanging file folders. Hanging folders keep documents off desks and make retrieving them from filing cabinets easier. Unlike regular files, they have rods and hooks for hanging on cabinet rails. Check out the large inventory of office supplies at Staples® to find different styles of hanging files made by Pendaflex.

Pick the Right Pendaflex Hanging Folders
Size and design are two important factors to consider when shopping for hanging files. These document storage products come in legal and letter sizes. The one to select depends on the kinds of documents handled in your office. After choosing a size, find a style that's suitable for current needs. Most offices use multiple types of hanging folders. The standard type is the slim style with tabbed cover and hanging accessories.

Pendaflex also makes classification hanging folders. These have built-in dividers and fasteners that allow users to have separate sections within the same file. Adding more pages to a classification model increases its bulk. To avoid bursting, look for units with reinforced bottoms and thick covers. Alternatively, get box-bottom ones. Besides reinforced pressboard inserts, these have flat bottoms that allow them to hold bulky documents, magazines, and brochures.

Choose Between Essentials and SureHook Hanging Files
The Essentials™ line includes colored hanging folders made of acid-free paper. This distinction makes them suitable for long-term storage. Essentials files also have color-matched tabs with interiors painted lighter shades of their cover colors. SureHook® units also have these features and sturdier hanging components that help them withstand heavy use. These have stronger rods and longer hooks that prevent folders from falling off cabinet rails.

SureHook rods have built-in tension springs, an addition that minimizes bending and prevents buckling. The springs also improve flexibility and allow the rods and hooks to glide smoothly along the rails. Poly strips placed along the tops and bottoms of SureHook Pendaflex hanging folders make them rip and tear resistant. Use these products to store frequently accessed documents.

What Are the Benefits of Pendaflex Poly Hanging Files?
Poly products feature plastic rather than paper. Plastic has a higher resistance to wear and tear. It's also moisture resistant so that poly folders can survive occasional liquid spills. Poly Pendaflex hanging files come in more colors than the paper ones. Availability in bright colors makes color-coded organization possible. Plastic is also the only option for those looking for clear or transparent folders.

Should You Consider Tab Cuts When Shopping for Hanging Folders?
Tab cuts make organizing, identifying, and retrieving files easier. Most hanging styles have 1/3 and 1/5 tab cuts. Those with 1/3 tabs come in staggered sets of three while 1/5 units are available in sets of five. Choose products with 1/3 tabs for text labels. Go with 1/5 tabs to use alphabetic or numerical indexing for file organization. 

What Is the Appeal of Recycled Pendaflex Hanging File Folders?
Recycled paper products have a much lower impact on the environment than non-recycled ones. Eco-conscious users and eco-friendly offices can reduce their carbon footprint by opting for these. Pendaflex recycled hanging files use 100 percent recycled fiber with high post-consumer fiber contents. They’re durable, functional, and available in the same sets of colors as non-recycled alternatives.
