Smead Product Review

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Shoplet.com to review three different Smead products.  I jumped at the chance because I’m always looking for new office supplies. 

As a teacher, I seem to be constantly running out of file folders, so I was excited about the box of Smead SuperTab Heavyweight Folders that I received.   

I could feel the difference in the quality the moment I picked one of them up.  They are heavyweight and will prove to be much sturdier than the ones I have used in the past.   Another plus to these folders is the larger label size! They come in boxes of 50 and sell for about $10.

 I don’t normally use expanding pocket folders, but I was pleasantly pleased with the Smead Easy Grip Pocket.  

I think I might to have to add these to my list of “have to have” office/teacher supplies.  I was able to put all my student's reading folders in one and they fit easily without being stuffed into it. These folders can expand up to 3 ½"!  How awesome is that?? These folders will come in very handy for those times I need even more space.  I quickly noticed that the Easy Grip allowed me to pick up the entire folder without worry that it might slip out of my hand. Very nice!  The Smead Easy Grip Pocket Folders are sold in boxes of 25 for a little over $30. However, if you buy more…you can save a few bucks. 

Smead FasTab Hanging File Folders come in a box of 20 and sell for around $15. 

They are reinforced so they are extremely durable.  Some of my hanging folder have buckled from the weight of the items they have in them, so I will be replacing them with these durable folders.  A definite plus to these folders is that you don’t need to add the plastic labels to them beause they have a heavy-duty built-in tab on the folder itself.  You can choose to write on the label…or print on labels and attach them.  Love it!  They are taller than all my other hanging folders and I wish that they weren't.  But...I'll get over it.  The green also isn't my favorite color either.

I’m all about staying organized so every single one of these Smead products is a keeper!  I bet you saw something here that you need to add to your shopping list.  Head on over to Shoplet.com and check out their website.  They have a huge variety of office supplies, promotional products, office stationary, and even items such as promotional items (shirts, pends, etc.).
