SMEAD Tuff Hanging Folders and New Heavy Weight Super Tab Folders Review

I was sent the SMEAD Tuff Folders and the Super Tab Folders this month to review as part of the SMEAD ongoing review program.

The SMEAD TUFF® Hanging Folder with Easy Slide™ Tabs are “seven times stronger than the leading competitor's hanging folder*, TUFF® Hanging Folders are the Gold Standard for hanging folders. The specially designed reinforced rods are 40% stronger to resist bending and paper tearing. The heavy-duty oversized tabs easily slide and secure into the position you choose. Replaceable white tab inserts included.”

Specifics:

• 11 point colored stock
• Specially designed reinforced channel rods
• Heavy-duty 1/3-cut adjustable plastic tab
• Coated rod tips
• 10% recycled content, 10% post-consumer material

Also note the award: The National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) voted the TUFF™ Hanging Folder “Best Business Product” at their 2010 Annual Conference & Organizing Exposition.

My thoughts: These folders are tough. I tend to overstuff folders and I really like that these folders hold a LOT! Another plus is that the sliding tabs make organization a breeze.

The SMEAD SuperTab® Oversized-Tab Folders “get nearly double the labeling area of standard folders – so you can use larger text or more lines of description. Fits any vertical or lateral filing system.”

Specifics:

• 90% larger label area
• Extra-wide 1/3-cut or 1/2-cut oversized-tabs
• 7/8” high tab, same height as standard 1/3-cut
• 9 1/2 pt. or 11 pt. colored or manila stock
• Scored for 3/4” expansion
• Contains 10% recycled content, 10% post-consumer material

My thoughts: I am loving these folders. I tend to have pretty large writing so these big tabs are perfect for me. Plus I can really make specific folders and put even more information on the tabs if I need to.
