Color Coded Extended Tab File Folders

Color Coded Extended Tab File Folders help dealerships, service departments, body shops, and repair facilities organize customer files, repair records, vehicle documentation, and dealership paperwork more efficiently. The extended tab design improves file visibility while making VIN numbers, customer names, stock numbers, and file labels easier to identify within filing cabinets and active work areas.

Manufactured from durable 14-point manila stock, these single-ply file folders feature a 3/8-inch extended tab and printed label placement lines that help create a cleaner, more organized filing system. The extended tab provides additional space for file identification, making these folders especially useful in high-volume environments where quick file retrieval is important.

Available as a blank stock folder or with custom imprinting, these folders can be used for vehicle sales records, repair orders, service documentation, customer files, accounting records, and administrative paperwork. Custom versions allow dealerships and businesses to add logos, company information, filing fields, and workflow-specific layouts.

Most stock folders ship the same day or next business day. Custom printed folders typically require 8-12 business days after proof approval.
