Pendaflex Fastener Folders, Legal Size
Product description
Key specifications
When legal-size paperwork needs to stay together between a desk and a file drawer, these Pendaflex folders add a built-in way to secure the pages instead of relying on a loose stack. They’re designed for straightforward filing, with reinforced tabs and one embedded fastener.
The folders are legal size, have a 1/3-cut tab, and include one 2-inch fastener in position 1. The embedded fastener is intended to add durability, while the reinforced tab is made to handle frequent use. That gives you a simple setup for keeping documents together and making a folder easier to identify in a row of files.
The key trade-off is the single fastener: it secures papers in one position, rather than dividing a file across several fasteners or sections. If you routinely sort a document packet into multiple categories, a folder designed for more elaborate organization may suit that workflow better.
Who it’s for
These folders make sense for anyone handling legal-size papers who wants a basic, repeatable filing method. For example, you could fasten a set of related documents together, write a label on the visible tab, then move the folder from a work surface into a file drawer without leaving the pages loose. The 1/3-cut tab gives you a partial-width labeling area rather than a full-width tab.
It suits you if your priority is keeping a single group of papers together and you want reinforced tabs for files that see regular handling. It might not be a great match if you need multiple fasteners, several built-in sections, or a way to organize different document groups inside one folder. Those needs call for a more divided filing approach.
What’s included
Each box contains 50 legal-size folders. Each folder has one 2-inch fastener in position 1, the product details don’t specify additional fasteners or other included supplies. A box of 50 is useful when you’re setting up or replenishing a filing system with many individual folders, though it may be more than needed if you only have a small number of files to organize.
Practical doubts
Are these letter-size folders? No. The listed format is legal size, so choose them when your documents call for that larger folder format.
How many fasteners does each folder have? One 2-inch fastener, located in position 1. It holds papers together but does not provide multiple filing positions.
Do they come individually or in a box? The listing specifies 50 folders per box, making this a bulk pack rather than a single-folder purchase.
Is it worth it?
On the spec sheet, the appeal is practical rather than elaborate: legal-size folders, reinforced 1/3-cut tabs, and one embedded fastener for keeping a set of papers together. Compared with simply stacking loose documents or using folders without a fastener, this setup offers a direct way to keep pages attached as a file moves between a desk and a drawer.
The limitation matters if your filing depends on separating one packet into several groups, one fastener won’t do that job. Buy these when you need a consistent supply of legal-size folders for single-group files and will use the 50-folder box. Skip them if your documents are letter size or your filing system depends on multiple internal sections.
