Product description
If you’re the sort of person who keeps documents “somewhere safe” and then can’t find them later, zip folders like these can genuinely tidy things up. They’re simple on paper: 32 PVC zip-lock style mesh pouches, split across 8 sizes, so you can sort bills, papers, small items and more without needing a whole new filing system.
The idea here is practical storage and faster retrieval. The semi-transparent mesh helps you spot what’s inside, while the zipper keeps everything contained. It’s not trying to be fancy stationery, it’s meant to work, including for school, office admin, home organisation and travel.
The essentials
These Northern Brothers plastic zip folders come as a bundle of 32 zip-lock bags in 8 sizes. The set includes 4 of each size, giving you a mix that covers common paper formats and some everyday non-paper bits.
On the paperwork side, the pack includes 4 x B4, 4 x A4, 4 x B5, 4 x A5, 4 x B6, 4 x A6, 4 x Bill and 4 x B8. That range is one of the more convincing parts of the set because it lets you match the bag size to what you’re storing, rather than forcing everything into one compromise pouch.
To help with identification, the bundle also includes 2 large sheets of adhesive labels. Each sheet holds 24 small stickers, so you can mark sections clearly (useful when multiple people are sharing a filing or when you’re packing for trips).
What you’ll notice in use
The zip bags are made from PVC and designed to be soft and flexible. They’re described as waterproof and reusable, with stitching along the edge to help reduce the chance of papers slipping out. In day-to-day terms, that means they’re built for the kind of “quick access” storage where items move around.
The mesh is semi-transparent. That’s helpful because you don’t have to open every pouch just to check what’s inside. It also comes with an improved metal zipper designed to slide smoothly without snagging.
There’s also a cord on each bag. Depending on how you organise, that can make it easier to hang them up to save space, or carry them more comfortably.
A small reality check: with any plastic mesh pouch system, it’s worth not overfilling. Even with the stitched edges and zips, keeping contents well within the bag’s capacity tends to prevent strain on the zipper.

Where it shines, and where it may fall short
These are a solid choice if your main goal is organising physical bits without committing to thicker folders or bulky files. They work well for:
- school handouts, worksheets and projects
- office receipts and paperwork you want to keep separate
- home admin (bills, letters and important documents)
- travel packing, where waterproof pouches can help keep items contained
- small storage tasks like cards, keys or similar items (within reasonable pouch size limits)
They also sound especially useful if you like colour-coding: the folders are available in 8 vibrant colours, and the idea is that different colours help you sort faster.
However, this set isn’t a universal “all documents forever” solution. If you need a rigid folder system that protects papers from creasing and heavy handling, flexible mesh zip bags may feel more like short-to-medium term storage. It’s also the type of organiser that can be more effective when you stick to a clear labelling routine, otherwise the semi-transparent benefit becomes less useful.
Compatibility & everyday matching
These zip wallets cover several common paper sizes (B4, A4, B5, A5, B6, A6, plus “Bill” and B8). If your documents are mostly in those formats, the range gives you less wasted space and better fit.
For non-paper items, the mesh bag concept still makes sense, but you’ll want to think in terms of “small and separable”. For example, separating a set of receipts from a passport sleeve or keeping a small craft kit together while you travel is exactly the kind of use case where this works.
It may not be the best fit if you regularly store larger folders, thick binders, or anything that needs a hard-backed structure.
Should you buy it?
It’s worth buying if you want a practical bundle of zip folders that are waterproof (as described), reusable, and sized across multiple formats, with the added bonus of labels and colourful separation. It suits students, busy office admin, households dealing with paperwork, and travellers who prefer pockets-and-pouches rather than a single container.
You may want to skip it if your documents need a rigid, crease-resistant filing style, or if you don’t plan to label and organise consistently. Also, if you tend to overstuff flexible pouches, the zipper and edges are better treated gently.
