Choosing the right file folders
FilingSupplies.com carries end-tab folders for open-shelf systems, top-tab folders for drawer filing, and heavy-duty classification folders with dividers and fasteners for multi-section records. Pick letter or legal size, then choose material (11-pt, 14-pt, or 18-pt manila), optional reinforced tabs, color-coding, and expansion capacity to match your volume.
Folder FAQs
End-tab vs. top-tab β whatβs the difference?
End-tab folders show the tab on the long side and are used on open-shelf systems; top-tab folders
show the tab along the top edge and are designed for drawer filing.
When should I choose classification folders?
Choose classification folders when you need built-in dividers and 2-prong fasteners to separate sections
within one fileβideal for medical charts, legal matters, and case files.
Letter or legal size β how do I pick?
Letter (8.5" Γ 11") fits standard documents; legal (8.5" Γ 14") fits longer forms.
Match the folder to both your documents and storage equipment.
What tab and material options are available?
Tabs include full-cut, 1/2-cut, or 1/3-cut (assorted positions). Materials range from 11-pt to 18-pt manila,
with optional reinforced (2-ply) tabs for added durability.
Can I add fasteners, pockets, or expansion?
Yesβadd 2" bonded fasteners (various positions), pockets/jackets, and expansion gussets
(e.g., 3/4" to 2"+). Check each productβs options for capacity and placement.
Do you offer volume pricing or custom printing?
We offer bulk price breaks and custom printing (logos, lines, colors). Call (800) 810-3453

Outfitting classrooms that work all day
Build a durable, ageβappropriate classroom with furniture, earlyβlearning materials, storage bins, learning centers, and presentation tools. Choose adjustable pieces that grow with grades, label friendly bins for quick cleanβup, and tech carts that secure, charge, and move easily.
Education FAQs
What safety labels should I look for on school and earlyβchildhood items?
For childrenβs products, look for CPSIA compliance and a Childrenβs Product Certificate (CPC).
Art materials should be labeled to ASTM Dβ4236; many also carry ACMIβs βAPβ (nonβtoxic) or βCLβ
seals. These help confirm proper cautionary labeling and thirdβparty testing where required.
How do I pick classroom furniture across grade levels?
Favor adjustableβheight desks/tables and seating tested to ANSI/BIFMA X6.1 for educational
use. Check manufacturer grade/height charts; adjustable ranges let you cover multiple grades with one model and
simplify purchasing and spares.
Whatβs the best way to organize supplies and centers?
Use latching, stackable bins (clear for quick ID; colors for zones/subjects). Add label holders on bins and shelves,
and keep a posted color key so students can reset the room independently.
How do I choose learning games and manipulatives by age?
Match to the stated age/grade band and learning goals (fine motor, numeracy, literacy). For early childhood,
prioritize oversized pieces, wipeβclean surfaces, and nonβtoxic finishes.
What should I consider in a charging/tech cart?
Count devices and case sizes; verify slot width/height, cable management, ventilation, and locking doors.
If devices support fastβcharge (e.g., USBβC PD), confirm the cartβs power specs and total charging wattage.
Do you support school POs, bulk pricing, or custom printing?
Yesβvolume pricing and custom imprinting (school name, mascot, subject headers) are available. Call
(800) 810β3453.
Choosing the right labels
From color file labels to printable sheets, select the right size, adhesive, and print method to match your filing system and equipment. Decide on sheet vs. roll format, then pick permanent or removable adhesive and your color set.
Labels FAQs
Sheet vs. roll labels β whatβs the difference?
Sheet labels (letterβsize) run through laser/inkjet printers; roll labels feed through thermal or dedicated label printers.
Permanent or removable adhesive?
Permanent adhesives are best for longβterm filing; removable adhesives peel away cleanly from most surfaces for temporary notes or reβuse.
Will these labels work in my printer?
Check each itemβs spec for βlaser,β βinkjet,β or βthermal.β Avoid running inkjetβonly sheets through a laser printer.
How do I match the label size to folder tabs or binder spines?
Measure the printable area of your tab or spine and match to the labelβs width/height. If unsure, choose a slightly smaller label for clean alignment.
Can I get preprinted sequences or color bars?
Yesβchoose preprinted sets (AβZ, 0β9, months) or request custom colors/text to match your filing system.
Do you have templates?
We provide size specifications and many customers use common label templates. If you need help aligning, call (800) 810β3453.
Choosing the right tab dividers
Organize binders with preprinted or blank tabs. Select the number of tabs per set (5, 8, 10, or 12), choose paper with reinforced tabs or durable poly, and match letter or legal size for a clean fit.
Tab Dividers FAQs
What do 5β, 8β, 10β, or 12βtab sets mean?
Thatβs the number of tabs per set. More tabs provide finer organization; fewer tabs give larger, easierβtoβread tabs.
Paper vs. poly β which should I choose?
Paper (often with Mylarβreinforced tabs) is economical and easy to write on; poly resists tears and moisture for heavy use and frequent handling.
Are the tabs printable?
Some tabs are handβwrite only; others are laser/inkjet printable. Check each product for βprintableβ support and printer compatibility.
Will they fit my binder?
Choose letter (8.5" Γ 11") for most 3βring binders or legal (8.5" Γ 14") for longer documents. Many options are preβpunched for standard rings.
Can I mix preprinted and blank tabs?
Yesβuse a preprinted core set and add blank or custom tabs for sections unique to your workflow.
Do you make custom tab sets?
Yesβtab titles, colors, and sheet stock can be customized. Call (800) 810β3453.
Outfitting offices & presentation spaces
From whiteboards and display easels to enclosed boards, barriers, and receptaclesβchoose surfaces, capacities, and materials that match how (and where) you work: conference rooms, classrooms, lobbies, and outdoor posting areas.
Office Supplies FAQs
Which whiteboard surface should I choose?
Melamine is economical but can ghost with heavy use. Porcelain/ceramicβsteel is
more durable and magnetic. Glass resists stains/ghosting and looks premium; magnetic models work
best with highβpower (rareβearth) magnets. Check the product surface and magnet compatibility before you buy.
Are glass boards magnetic?
Only if theyβre steelβbackedβand even then youβll typically need rareβearth (neodymium) magnets
because the glass thickness reduces holding power. Many brands sell βglassβboard magnetsβ specifically for this use.
What should I look for in an outdoor enclosed bulletin board?
Weatherβresistant frame and gaskets, lockable temperedβglass or acrylic doors, and a sealed backer (cork or magnetic).
Look for a published waterβresistance spec (e.g., IP rating) and mounting that standoffs the wall to reduce moisture.
Acrylic vs. polycarbonate barriersβwhatβs the difference?
Polycarbonate is far more impactβresistant (tough, less likely to crack) but scratches more easily
without a hardβcoat. Acrylic has excellent clarity and better scratch resistance, and is generally
lower cost. Choose based on impact risk vs. optics and budget.
How do I size receptacles and match the correct liners?
For rectangular cans, a quick rule: bag width β can length + can width; bag height β can height + (ΒΌ Γ bag width) + 4" overhang.
For round cans, size by diameter Γ Ο for circumference and match capacity (e.g., 5β7 gal underβdesk; larger for common areas).
Do you offer bulk pricing or custom printing?
Yesβvolume price breaks and custom imprinting (logos, room names, calendars) are available. Call
(800) 810β3453.
Equipping teams & athletic programs
Outfit practice and game day with ageβright balls, goals, nets, padding, carts, and field/court accessories. Choose competition specs when required by your league, and durable training gear for daily reps.
Sports FAQs
What ball sizes should I choose by sport and age?
Basketball: Size 7 (29.5") for men (HS/college/pro); Size 6 (28.5") for women and many youth;
Size 5 (27.5") for younger players.
Soccer: Size 5 for ages 13+; Size 4 for ~8β12; Size 3 for U9 and under.
Volleyball (indoor): Regulation circumference ~65β67 cm and weight ~260β280 g; lighter training balls are common for younger age groups. Always confirm your leagueβs rulebook.

Volleyball (indoor): Regulation circumference ~65β67 cm and weight ~260β280 g; lighter training balls are common for younger age groups. Always confirm your leagueβs rulebook.
How do we keep portable soccer goals safe from tipβover?
Always anchor or counterβweight portable goals (stakes/augers outdoors; weights on turf), remove nets when idle,
and store goals where kids canβt climb on them. Inspect hardware regularly and follow posted warning labels.
What padding should we use around courts and posts?
Use wall and structural padding that meets ASTM F2440 for indoor impact protection; choose UVβresistant,
weatherable covers for outdoor posts and rails. Pad highβimpact zones behind hoops and along baselines/sidelines.
Indoor vs. outdoor gearβwhatβs the difference?
Outdoor equipment uses weatherβresistant coatings, galvanized/ powderβcoated metals, UVβstable netting and vinyls,
and bases or ground sleeves designed for wind and security. Indoor gear prioritizes floor protection and clearance rules.
