Expand your organizational repertoire with plastic expanding file folders. Perfect for when you need to keep files safe and organized on the go, these folders are a go-to for many professionals. Keep reading to learn more about how you can use them, too.
What Are Plastic Expanding File Folders?
Plastic expanding file folders, otherwise known as accordion folders, feature multiple pockets for organized storage of documents, receipts, written records and more. Their accordion design expands when you open it, enlarging the mouth of each compartment as you add or retrieve papers.
Their plastic construction keeps documents safe and secure. Staples even offers reinforced options for extra peace of mind when storing or transporting sensitive information.
What Is the Difference Between Plastic Expanding File Folders and Binders?
Both plastic expanding file folders and binders can store a large amount of documents and be easily transported. However, there are significant differences between these two organizational accessories. Learn more about each storage style below.
Binders
3 ring binders have a distinct ring design that opens and closes, allowing hole-punched papers to be added or removed from the rings. Files stored inside zipper binders are often loose leaf papers, since this paper has pre-punched holes that can be easily clasped and secured with binder rings.
Binders come in different inch sizes and different ring types to accommodate varying levels of storage needs. Most often, binder accessories like dividers or sheet protectors are purchased separately to aid in organization.
Plastic Expanding File Folders
Plastic expanding file folders have built-in dividers that separate files for categorization. They also allow for storage of many types of paper, since files do not have to be hole-punched in order to be secured. Instead, simply place files of any kind directly into the expanding pockets of the folder.
Plastic expanding file folders have different types of closures, such as snap closures and elastic closures. Most binders styles aside from zipper binders lack this added element of security.
What Can Be Stored in Plastic Expandable File Folders?
Plastic expandable file folders are an ideal choice if you’re looking for a versatile and portable storage accessory. If you’re not sure what to put in your folder, check out our list of examples below.
A few common ways to use expandable file folders include:
- Cataloging user manuals
- Organizing travel documents
- Storing coupons
- Storing important vehicle information
How Are Expandable Plastic File Folders Organized?
Once you have determined the types of documents that you want to place in your expandable plastic file folder, it is important to ensure that you stay on top of its organization so that you can locate your files quickly and easily.
Organization is quite personal and everyone has their own way that works best for them. However, you may want to consider sorting your files alphabetically or using a front-loading tactic, where your most often used files are up front. This reduces the amount of time you spend looking for what you need.
Additionally, many designs of plastic expanding file folders include preprinted tab inserts, making it easy to label files accordingly.
