manila folders

Tabbed paper holders

Manila folders are file folders made from sturdy buff-colored paper, used for organizing documents in offices and filing cabinets.

The tan color comes from manila hemp fiber, though modern versions use wood pulp.

They typically have a tab for labeling: She pulled the manila folder from the cabinet and handed it to her assistant.
