We are a Court and use approximately 2-3,000 of these folders on an annual basis. As cases go to court and payments are made monthly we are in and out of these files almost on a daily basis. They always hold up. Never have had a problem with the folders wearing out, falling apart, etc. In fact sometimes, I am able to recycle folders for other uses and have never had an issue. Being on a very tight state budget I appreciate the quality of these folders.
