Character folders are made from paper and cardstock (often laminated for extra durability) and from plastics like polypropylene. Shoppers can find both paper-based and more durable plastic folder options.
Most character folders come with either one interior pocket or two interior pockets. Both 1-pocket and 2-pocket styles are common across listings.
Character folders are sized to fit standard letter paper and commonly measure around 9–12 inches. Examples in listings include sizes near 9.5" x 12" and 12" x 9.25", so they accommodate typical school documents.
Common uses include school organization (homework and handouts), classroom supplies or giveaways, home and office filing, and group or camp handouts—basically organizing students' papers and personal documents.
Cover finishes include laminated cardstock and glossy surfaces; listings also mention glossy embellishments and other decorative finishes that add durability and a bolder look.
