Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.
Plenty of Space: This seven-pocket expanding file with color tab inserts has plenty of room for all of your school papers.
Get Organized: 6 easy-to-remember pull-up tabs. The tabs easily pull up as a reminder of what's filed and where it's filed. They can also assist you in prioritizing and organizing your tasks.
It's Tough: A tough plastic outer shell with a secure zipper keeps those important papers safe, while reinforced gussets keep the sides from tearing.
Personalize It: A clear pocket on the front cover allows you to display a personalized cover sheet or store additional school papers, class assignments, or homework due that day.
With two loops on the outside of the file for pen storage, this file measures 13 3/4 x 10 3/4 inches and is available in black.

Questions & Answers

Is there a zipper closure on all of the colors? And if that's the case, why does it say "Elastic bungee provides secure closure" in the description?

The entire 7-pocket folder has a single zipper closure. There isn't a bungee cord to be found.

Is it possible to use it without bending the tabs on manila folders?

Easily! I usually only use it for papers (in high school, it was a lifesaver!). ) but the manila folders became necessary for projects, and the tabs have never caused me any problems.

Is cleaning a breeze?

It's very easy to clean!

I would not recommend this product
3/5

I'm very dissatisfied because I received a filthy (and, to be honest, worn-looking) item. I bought it in the hopes of staying organized during the fall semester, but I'm not sure I'll use it. It feels like a cheap binder encased in clear plastic, which is not what one would expect from a "five star" brand. (Actually, the plastic appears to be more durable than the binder or folder inside!) ) But, to make matters worse, my item had small black hairs in each pocket, was frayed at the edges, and had a brown sticky substance stuck to the fabric on the bottom corner, as if it had been dropped in a pile of sludge, picked up, and tossed into the shipping box. It's a little revolting to be given something so filthy at a time when cleanliness is so important. (As a result, I gave it two stars. ) I wouldn't recommend it- Simply go to Target and pay a few dollars more for quality.

Manilla Folders and 3-D Printers have bad news
5/5

Binders with rings- Anyone who is sick of them will be relieved to hear this. I find 3- Ring binders are inconvenient and break easily- That is why I purchased it! It's been months since I got it, and there's no sign of it falling apart! spent! (I'll update my review if it ever breaks. ) However, I don't see any kind of cautionary message- signs as they are! It's sturdy enough to protect papers- However, it is flexible enough to fit easily into a backpack. I used to have a few of those paper-weighted backpacks with me. Before I got this, I had a lot of folders. They used to break down in a predictable pattern. Ripping and bending are two words that come to mind when I think of ripping. They've all been supplanted by a single, simple organizer. easy to use- It also has a zip closure for added security. Get this thing for yourself (and/or your children)!.

This isn't the best work of Five Star
3/5

For all three of my sons (8th grade), I order 5 Star. 2 3rd graders) for their product's ability to withstand and remain functional over the course of a school year. This was the first time I'd gotten it completely wrong. I ordered it in mid-July, stuffed it into my eighth-grader's bag, and forgot about it until yesterday. The front cover has a permanent crease in it from the weight of two spiral bound notebooks, and a side seam is beginning to split. Imagine being lugging a backpack full of books from class to class, zipped and unzipped 20 times a day, with no papers inside. Before October, it'd be a shattered mess. I replaced it with a zipper binder for him, and I'm thinking of repurposing this product in my office, where it sits in a cabinet all day and is rarely used. It could be useful in that capacity, but not for students.

It's quite long-lasting
5/5

For over a year, I've been dragging this filing folder for work three or more days per week, and today was the first time I noticed any wear. (Some of the trim's stitching had come undone. ) It's tall enough to fit manila folders inside without crushing the tabs. Although an actual downpour would soak through the cloth around the zipper, the zipper enclosure keeps everything secure and the plastic construction keeps rain off of my papers. There's also a large, clear plastic pocket on the outside; mine currently has 18 manila folders inside (10 with papers and 8 empty), and it still closes with ease. Despite the fact that they are not removable, I rarely use the plastic dividers that came with it. I believe it is a good buy, and I will most likely purchase another when this one wears out.

I ordered 5 different colors and they all came back used! I just got it today and am returning it
3/5

No value! I didn't buy it because it was old and filthy when it arrived. I placed a single order for five of these. No padding was included, and the bottom of the first one I examined was damaged. I removed the paper labels after opening it. On it, there was a medium-sized hair. I opened and inspected the rest. All had marks and scratches on the clear cover part. Insides had more hair, debrie, or the labels had been pulled apart. Not that it's bad, but I could see one arriving used, but all five? Isn't this the first item I've received from Amazon that has been used? It's too easy to shop on Amazon at 2 a. m. ! It was my fault for not checking local first; however, I did try, and Target was $6 cheaper. 99 yall.

The durability test was a resounding success
5/5

Instead of bringing a notebook to school, my niece now brings an expanding file to store all of the papers she receives, such as homework, notes, and so on. This has helped her stay organized. She's hard on things, but the expanding file has stood up to the test, and it's well-made and long-lasting.

Although the product is excellent, it was damaged when it was delivered
4/5

This product appeals to me because it allows me to categorize and organize my papers. It's nice that there's a zipper and that it's fully enclosed. If it's dropped or it's raining, the contents inside are protected. It's also very strong and long-lasting. Unfortunately, the product arrived completely bent at the bottom, causing the papers to fit inside the box in an unusually tight manner.

This is exactly what I'm looking for
5/5

This is an excellent item. When I first began my journey to becoming a self-employed individual, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. As a published author, I knew I needed a place to store all of my business documents, and this has far exceeded my expectations. It's tough and small enough to fit in a small space (because, let's face it, space is at a premium these days). There's only so much space in laptop bags). It's also customizable (I drew my logo on the outside pocket). br>br>I would strongly advise anyone to read this!.
