File Folders, by nature, are handled over and over by a variety of people.  This fact alone makes the a prime candidate for antimicrobial protection.  Put those folders into a clinic setting, and you might think again about using anything BUT antimicrobial folders. 
(K, stay with me here.  It's SICK, hacking, coughing, bacteria spewing people that come into the clinic). 

If you can spare just one minute, check out a great little presentation from SMEAD on just how exactly this antimicrobial protection stuff works when it comes to filing supplies.

You may also download this very informative brochure on all the Smead Antimicrobial Filing Products.  These include Top Tab Folders, End Tab Folders, End Tab File Jackets & Pocket Folders, Expanding Wallets and Two Pocket Portfolios.
