File folder

The file folder (US usage) (or folder in use of English and Australian) is a kind of folder that holds loose paper and shared money for organization and protection. File folders usually consist of sheets of thin or other thin paper, but stiff, folded material in half, and are used for storing paper documents. Files can also contain other things like magazines, on cd music, etc. Sometimes most are not used for official use, but rather are used as normal storage at home. They are often used in conjunction with filing cabinets for storage. File folders can be easily purchased at office supply stores. Although the origin of file folders is uncertain, many theories point to US Civil War Lieutenant Joseph P. Meisburger as the first to develop the concept.

File folders are usually labeled based on what's inside. Folders can be labeled directly on a tab with a pen or pencil. Others write on an adhesive label placed on the tab. There is also an electronic label maker that can be used to create labels.

Folder files can be made from plastic or paper. When paper is used, it is preferably made from pulp with long cellulose fibers, such as kraft paper or manila paper.

Terminology

A file or folder is another term used for file folders, but file folders are common names for items in the United States. The Manila folder is probably the most common, but file folders are available in various forms. In the United States, the size of letters and laws is common.

The proper way to refer to this kind of folder is somewhat unclear. There seems to be no international standard term. The term file folder seems to be the one that dominates the North American language, but does not seem as usual in other countries. As stated, some refer to file folders only as folders, but in North America this is confusing because folders can refer to several different things. Others use the long manila folder, but this is confusing because not all file folders are made of Manila hemp. This type of folder is sometimes mistakenly referred to as the "vanilla folder."

Another commonly used folder type is the hanging folder, which has hooks on all four corners that glide over the tracks. Typically, the hanging folders are used to file one or more manila folders, and it's not a common practice to put loose sheets directly into a hanging folder. When some documents need to be retrieved, the corresponding manila folder is removed from the hanging folder. The hanging folder itself is left in its place on the tracks.

Sometimes, the term for an item changes according to its context. Some people may refer to file folders as files when they are being used for storage. For example, one might say, "Will you get me a file on Patterson's case?" Or someone might say, "That information is in the insurance claims files." The file folder or just the folder appears to be how many refer to the item when it was purchased or has not contained any paper. For example, someone might say, "Will you give me an empty folder from the box? I need to create a file in real Thompson." Or someone might say, "When you run to the store, will you get me some legal file size folders?" Then again, the office furniture that stores paper documents is not always referred to as an archive cabinet or just a filing cabinet, and there is never a closet folder.

These terms are even more distorted in their digital counterparts. In computing, the word "folder" (or, in some cases, "file folders") is often used as a synonym for "directories", while the word "file" is universally used for actual data items on disk (sometimes called "documents, "especially on Apple Macintosh). In Unix-like systems, this is resolved to some extent by the credo "everything is a file"; the folder itself is just a special file type, and many commands (to copy, delete, move, or rename) can run without knowing if the file identifies the whole folder or not.

File folder tab

Tab/cut style

File folders can have tabs in them. Tabs often help when multiple files are stored together and there needs to be an easy way to tell them apart. Tabs can be on top of the folders (common in business offices) or on the edge (common in medical offices). Tab size varies and is set by the size of each tab in proportion to the total length of the folder. They can be:

• Piece straight . There is one long tab.
• 1/3 cut . There are three tab positions, each about 1/3 of the total folder length. Basically, tabs are cut to be in the left, middle, or right position.
• 1/5 cut . Similar to 1/3 pieces, unless there are five tab positions, each of which is 1/5 of the total folder length.
• 2/5 cut . There are only two tab positions, right and middle right (ROC). ROC is somewhat like the left position, but it does not extend to the end of the folder because tabs are only 2/5 of the total length.
• 1/2 cut . There are two tab positions, left and right.

Tab position

Since tabs can be cropped in different positions, tab positioning can also be called. For example, for the 1/3 cut style, the folder with the tab in the furthest right position is considered to have a tab in position number three.
