FAQs

Are these folders suitable for punched documents?

No, these are square cut folders designed for loose, unpunched papers. They feature slits to accommodate filing clips for securing documents.

What size paper do these folders accommodate?

These folders are foolscap size, which is standard for larger documents in many office environments.

What is the weight of the cardstock?

The folders are manufactured from 180gsm manilla cardstock, providing a good balance of durability and flexibility.

Can I use these folders for long-term archival storage?

While durable for everyday use, the 100% recycled manilla is best suited for active filing. For very long-term archival needs, consider acid-free specialized archival folders.

What does 'square cut' mean?

Square cut refers to the straight-edged design of the folder, allowing easy insertion of papers without requiring them to be hole-punched.

How are the papers secured inside?

Papers are secured by either folding the folder closed or by using filing clips through the pre-punched slits for a more robust hold.

Are these folders available in other colors?

This specific product is listed as red. Please check other Q-Connect product listings for different color options.

Troubleshooting

Folders feel flimsy

While made from durable 180gsm manilla, these are lightweight folders. For heavy-duty use, consider reinforcing with filing clips or using heavier gauge folders.

Papers are not staying secure

Ensure you are using the pre-punched slits with appropriate filing clips. Do not overstuff the folder beyond its capacity.

Labelling area is difficult to write on

Use a pen or marker that is suitable for cardstock. If needed, a label can be affixed to the designated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These folders require minimal setup. Simply take them from the packaging. If storing documents, gently unfold the pre-creased sections if necessary and insert your papers. For added security, use compatible filing clips through the pre-punched slits.

Compatibility: These folders are designed for unpunched, loose documents. They are compatible with foolscap-sized paper and standard office filing clips. They will fit into most standard foolscap filing trays and cabinets.

Care: To maintain their condition, store these folders in a dry environment away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid overfilling them, as this can stress the material and cause premature wear. Clean with a slightly damp cloth if necessary, ensuring the folder is completely dry before storing documents.
