Colored hanging file folders are commonly made from paper or paperboard cores; some styles use plastic materials such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or polypropylene.
Most colored hanging file folders are designed for letter-size paper and hold standard 8.5" × 11" sheets.
Many include tabs and label inserts for identification; some use 1/5-cut tabs and offer five tab positions to stagger labels for easy viewing.
Capacities vary by design, ranging from about 12 sheets up to 150 sheets. Common capacities in these results include 12, 36, 40, 100, and 150 sheets.
Dimensions vary by model: lengths range from about 9.39 inches up to 14 inches, and widths range from about 8.5 inches up to 11.73 inches.
