Choosing the Right School Folder
There are a few factors to consider when choosing the best school folder option for your needs. Do you want lamination? Do you prefer a certain folder material? What about color? Staples has back-to-school folders in just about every color you could want. There are options with fasteners to keep your loose folder contents secure, as well as options with anywhere from one to 13 pockets to safely store all your documents. Staples also carries different school supply folder styles, including portfolio designs, presentation designs and standard school designs.
How Big Are School Folders?
Most school folders are designed to hold standard 8.5”x11” paper, with a bit of extra coverage to protect documents. The average folder is roughly 9.5”x12”.
How to Organize Your School Folders
It’s important to organize folders for school to make sure you don’t lose any important documents and that your papers are well-preserved, as well as easy to access. You may want to designate certain folder pockets for different subjects, or you could have a “completed” pocket and an “uncompleted” pocket so you stay aware of outlying assignments. Many students choose to have a folder for each subject to maintain the most optimal file organization.
How to Decorate Your Folders for School
Whether you opt for paper or plastic school folders, part of the fun is decorating them! Decorating your school folders gives them a sense of personality and makes them unique to you. This can help you feel happier and more motivated to work on your assignments. It can also help distinguish your folders from those that belong to others so your folder doesn’t get accidentally taken.
Make your school folders unique to you and your style by embellishing them with decorations such as stickers and embellishments, photos, monograms, drawings and more. Staples arts and crafts has all the supplies you need to personalize your folder, including Sharpies, glue, tape and other items to bring out your crafty side.
However you decide to decorate your school folder, be sure to add your name to it. You could do so with a label or by simply writing your name with a permanent pen or marker. Not only will this help you find your folder if it’s ever lost or taken by mistake.
