SMEAD is a Need if You want to stay Organanized!!!!!!

These are three wonderful products to help keep you organized.  For me, organization is something I cannot survive without and I love it when I discover office supplies that can make my organization even better.

The SuperTab File Folders come in a package of 6 and are made by SMEAD.  

They are letter-size, have 1/3-cut tabs, and the area for the label is 90% larger than a normal file folder!   This extra space is something I always look for when I purchase file folders.  The pink folders are such a blessing for those of us who want to help support breast cancer awareness.  I have never been disappointed when I have purchased products made by SMEAD.  These folders are sturdy and I know they will last for many years to come.

 

I quickly fell in love with this dark navy 12-Pocket Stadium File when I realized that it was a tiered file.  

This allows the files to be seen with such ease.  What made the product even sweeter was that it expands!  The file holds folders, 8 ½” x 11” paper and has 1/3-cut tabs.  Labels are included if you are interested in using their preprinted sheets.  To be quite honest I haven’t quite figured out the perfect use for this file. 

As a school teacher, the possibilities are endless…student files…assessments….data… When I figure it out I’ll take a picture and post it. J

The 3-in-1 SuperTab SectionFolders come in a package of twelve with an assortment of colors.I don’t know who first decided to make colored file folders but I love it!   The folders have the larger label area, have 1/3-cut tabs, and are green compliant for those that prefer to purchase eco-friendly products.  These folders have something extra that caught my attention immediately.  You have the option of whether to use the folder in a vertical or lateral position!    

Instead of have just two pockets there are 3 and there is a “lockit’ flap that keeps papers in place.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve carried a file and ended up losing items out of them.  This is definitely a feature I am going to like!

When you have a few minutes and are ready to do some serious shopping, check out all these products at Shoplet.com.   You will find a nice selection of  promotional products, medical supplies and office stationary.

Smead Product Review - Folders & Step Index Organizer

Have I mentioned lately how much I love Shoplet and all their office supplies?  They are truly a wonderful company to do business with and they have never disappointed me when I have ordered products from them.  I am all about being organized, so I definitely welcomed each of these products when they were delivered to my doorstep.  If they can help me stay even more organized than bring it on!

This Step Index Organizer has already found a permanent place in my organization.  I don’t know about you guys, but I have a mailman that is more than eager to drop nasty little bills in my mailbox.  So now… this handy dandy little file system is holding precious mail until they are paid.  It is the perfect size to carry from one place to another, and I don’t have to worry about anything falling out because it can be closed up easily.  There are 12 pockets inside and it comes with inserts (A-Z) that can help you alphabetize what you put inside.  One interesting thing about this  organizer is the tiered tabs.  The ones in the front are the same height…but the ones in the back have been moved up just a bit, for easier view.  Yip!  I’m loving that!  I haven’t decided how I’m going to label the tabs…so for now they are blank.  It looks like it is going to be sturdy enough to last for awhile and the silver bumpy texture allows me to get a good grip so it doesn't slide out of my hand while carrying it.

The Erasable SuperTab File Folders are a brand new idea for me!  Say WHAT!  Erasable!  My first response was yeah…right!!!!  So of course I had to check it out for myself.  It does erase…but it also required med to add more pressure (which I wasn’t expecting) and thus requires more patience from me. So… would I purchase them???  Honestly, I don’t know… Currently, I laminate folders that I use over and over again so… I probably would not replace the folders I currently use.  But still, it is nice that you have the option to erase and reuse them.  The package does state that you need a white eraser and permanent marker.  These manila folders are letter size, come in a package of 24 and have the 1/3- cut tabs.

  The Erasable FasTab Hanging Folders are a product that I will definitely purchase.  Just like the manila folders discussed above, they have the erasable tab.  If you have never used hanging folders you don’t know what you are missing!  They require some elbow grease and patience also to erase…but it will be worth it to me.  What I especially like about these hanging file folders is that I don’t have to print… resize…print again and again until I get the name of the file to fit perfectly in the space allowed for the tab.  These hanging folders are blue, red and green. 

I have wanted folders like these for a long time… I just didn’t know they made them.  These are called Organized Up Heavyweight Vertical File Folders.  The colors are red, olive green and a purplish.  Not what I would have ordered for myself, but they will certainly do the job.  Papers fit in them nicely and when you pull them out they are in the right position!!! The folders do have a tab for the upright position and in the normal place of files…So you get to decide where you want to add the labeling at.

If you need an item to advertise your business with Promotional Products... or purchase medical supplies... or find office stationary, please give Shoplet a chance to meet your needs.

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.).
