document bag

Common materials include: polyester (used for slim travel pouches and some larger organizers); clear plastic (see-through zip pouches); vinyl (colored letter pouches); and an upgraded silicone-coated fiberglass construction used for fireproof file boxes.

Many pouches are sized for letter paper, while some larger organizers and the fireproof file box are described as fitting both letter and legal sizes. Individual listings vary, so check the product dimensions if you need a guaranteed legal-size fit.

Common closures include zipper closures on pouches, double zippers on some larger organizers, and locking options (such as combination/password locks) for locking compartments on fireproof file boxes.

Portability ranges from sleek, lightweight travel pouches designed to lie flat under clothing with adjustable waist belts (fit examples: 22–50 inches) to larger fireproof boxes that are still portable at home thanks to sturdy handles for carrying between home, office or car.
