Paper & Board File

Record / Tag File

A Record File (or Tag File) is

a physical, typically cardboard, envelope folder used to store and organize A4 or legal-sized documents. It features a top hole and sometimes a cloth strip for securing papers with tags or fasteners. These files are used in offices, schools, and for archiving to protect documents. 

Key Features:

  • Physical Structure: Usually made of stiff paper or cardboard, measuring roughly inches, capable of holding 15–50 pages.

  • Types: Available in "Thin" (plain) or "Thick" (heavy-duty/binding cloth strip) variants for different storage needs.

  • Usage: Used to organize documents by project, client, or type. The top-left hole allows for binding with fasteners or thread.

  • Handling Tips: When dealing with archived tag files, ensure the tag length is at least twice the paper stack height to prevent tearing the holes. 

Physical File Options:

  • Plain Record File: Standard, lightweight paper folder.

  • Binding Cloth Strip File: Durable option for long-term storage.
