expandable hanging file folders

Expandable hanging folders commonly come in 2" and 3" gusset (expansion) sizes. Section styles include single expanding folders and multi-section expanding files with multiple compartments (examples in this set include 5-section and 21-section files). Some listings also note sheet-capacity ranges for these configurations (see capacity-specific FAQ for details).

These expandable hanging folders are made from a variety of materials, including pressboard, redrope stock, plastic, cardstock paper, and polypropylene. Material choice affects durability, flexibility, and appearance.

Expandable hanging file folders are offered in both letter-size and legal-size options to fit standard document dimensions.

Hanger styles include coated metal hangers for smooth sliding in rails, pivoting/folding hangers that fold down for carrying, and box-bottom designs that pair with coated hangers for added support.

Some pressboard folders specify about 60% total recycled content. Certain box-bottom (green) folders note roughly 10% recycled material and indicate at least 10% post-consumer content in their composition.
