What the AI looks for in Project Folders
- Pocket or section count
- Match the number of sections to the stages or document types in the project Too few sections defeats the purpose. Too many adds bulk.
- Material
- Poly for portable or frequently carried projects; paper stock for desk-bound use Poly resists tearing and moisture when the folder is carried around.
- Closure
- Elastic or snap closure if the folder travels Open-edge folders spill loose papers in bags.
- Expansion
- Gusseted pockets for projects with growing paperwork Flat pockets bulge and split once filled.
Brands that matter
- Smead: Broad range of poly and paper project organizers.
- Pendaflex: Offers project-style jackets and organizers.
- C-Line: Poly folders and document holders.
What to avoid
- Thin poly with unreinforced seams for thick projects
