Comparing Folder Thickness Options

The 11 pt manila stock offers an excellent balance between protection and cost. For healthcare facilities requiring maximum durability in high-traffic environments or long-term archival storage, consider our 14 pt thickness end tab folder option, which provides additional rigidity and longevity. The 11 pt option is ideal for standard clinical workflows with regular chart access and rotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between end tab and top tab folders?

End tab folders display the patient or file identifier on the right edge (end) of the folder when filed vertically, enabling quick visual reference without removing the folder from the cabinet. Top tab folders show the identifier on the top edge, typically used for horizontal filing. End tab design is preferred in medical records departments for its efficiency in high-volume filing systems and rapid chart retrieval.

How durable is 11 pt manila stock compared to 14 pt stock?

11 pt manila provides solid protection for routine medical record access and standard clinical workflows. The 14 pt option offers increased rigidity and is better suited for extremely high-traffic environments, long-term archival storage, or facilities with extended chart retention periods. Both meet industry standards for medical records storage; choose based on your facility's usage intensity and budget.

Are these folders compatible with existing medical filing systems?

Yes. These folders are designed to work with standard lateral and vertical filing cabinets. The letter size format and end tab configuration are compatible with most institutional filing systems. Cross-reference information (IFS # MRS10213, AMERIFILE # F1316) ensures compatibility with common medical records software and filing protocols.

What are the bonded fasteners, and why are they important?

The 2 inch bonded fasteners securely attach to the inside front and back covers of the folder, holding patient documents in place without visible fasteners on the exterior. This design protects medical records from loss or misplacement, ensures document security, and supports compliance with medical record retention and security regulations.

Can I order in smaller quantities or request custom packaging?

Standard packaging is 50 folders per box. For healthcare organizations with specific quantity or custom packaging needs, contact First Products directly. Our team can discuss bulk pricing, custom configurations, and delivery schedules to support your facility's procurement requirements.
