Product Information

Full details

This guide is for professionals and students needing to organize large format documents, specifically A3 size, within lever arch files or binders. The key benefit is durable, clear protection and easy access for A3 papers. A potential caveat is that these pockets are designed for specific Bantex A3 binders, and may not fit other filing systems without adjustment. These 120-micron polypropylene pockets offer robust protection, an upright design for easy insertion, and an open top for quick retrieval of A3 documents, featuring a reinforced strip for added durability. They come in a pack of 100.

FAQs

What size documents do these pockets hold?

These pockets are designed to hold A3 size documents (297 x 420 mm or 11.7 x 16.5 inches).

Can I use these pockets with any A3 binder?

They are specifically designed for Bantex A3 PVC lever arch files and Bantex A3 PVC 4D ring binders. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed due to variations in hole punching and binder size.

What does '120 micron' mean?

Micron refers to the thickness of the plastic. 120 micron is a relatively thick and durable gauge, offering good protection against tearing and damage compared to thinner pockets.

Are the pockets punched on both sides?

No, these are upright, open-top pockets with a reinforced strip on one side containing the punched holes for filing.

How should I clean these pockets?

Wipe them gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents to maintain clarity and material integrity.

What is the benefit of the reinforced strip?

The reinforced strip adds extra strength to the edge where the holes are punched, preventing the pocket from easily tearing or ripping when placed in a binder and used regularly.

Can I store photographs in these pockets?

Yes, the clear polypropylene material is generally safe for storing documents and photographs. However, for archival purposes of very valuable photos, specialized archival-safe materials might be recommended.

Troubleshooting

Pockets do not fit binder

Ensure you are using a compatible Bantex A3 PVC lever arch file or Bantex A3 PVC 4D ring binder. Check that the documents are not obstructing the binder rings.

Documents are difficult to insert

Ensure the document is A3 size and not oversized. Make sure the top of the pocket is fully open and not creased. Gently align the document with the pocket opening.

Pocket tears at the holes

This is rare due to the reinforced strip, but if it occurs, ensure the binder rings are not over-stuffed and that the pocket is not being pulled at an angle. Consider if a higher micron pocket is needed for extreme use cases.

Clarity is reduced over time

Avoid exposing the pockets to excessive dust or sticky substances. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and protective material (120 micron polypropylene)
  • Designed for easy document access (upright, open top)
  • Reinforced strip enhances longevity
  • Clear visibility of contents
  • Generous pack size for large projects

Cons

  • Specifically designed for Bantex A3 lever arch files and 4D binders
  • May not fit non-Bantex or non-A3 filing systems without modification
  • Polypropylene might be less rigid than some alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These folder pockets are designed for immediate use. Simply insert your A3 documents into the open top. The reinforced strip on the side features punched holes ready to be placed into compatible Bantex A3 PVC lever arch files and Bantex A3 PVC 4D ring binders.

Compatibility: These pockets are optimized for Bantex A3 PVC lever arch files and Bantex A3 PVC 4D ring binders. While they are A3 size, the punched hole placement may not align perfectly with other brands or types of binders, potentially requiring manual hole punching or different organization methods if used outside of the specified Bantex range.

Care: To maintain the clarity and integrity of the pockets, wipe them gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the polypropylene material and obscure the view of your documents. Store the pockets flat or within the designated binders to prevent creasing.
