UPDATE: Where to buy Smead® FasTab™ Hanging File Folders

Today I found 2 online sources that are now selling the Smead® FasTab Hanging Folders!!  YAY... I looked the other day and there were none.

For now, they only come in 1/3-Cut, Moss, Box Of 20.  They are not cheap, but I suspect the price will come down and more colors will be added if they catch on.  At least they aren't that ugly standard dark green!  I hope they come out with red, purple & bright yellow hanging file folders soon! : )

REVIEW

You can also read another review of these folders and other new offers from SMEAD by Jeri Dansky here:

http://jdorganizer.blogspot.com/2007/03/3-new-filing-products-from-smead.html

She doesn't like that you can't easily do straight-line filing but for me,  I feel you CAN still do straight-line filing but do it within themes and subcategories.  For example, I like to use different colors for each theme, as shown in the photo here, but for now...that won't work with these new files.

What I would do instead is use one straight line to the left for financial files, (which are green) the center could be your health related files, (which are yellow here) the right could be for your legal and critical docs archives (not shown here they are in the archives).

I totally agree with Jeri and Monica Ricci that the Smead anti-microbial file folders are completely unnecessary.

Enjoy!

I just the other day found those those ugly green Pendeflex hanging files in red, yellow, blue, (regular) green and purple! I bought the purple ones. I found them at the Staples store up here in Canada. I'm using yellow folders inside of them. Makes me feel a little cheerier when I open those drawers. :-)
