Folder storage with reference apparatus

A folder, comprising:

• a unitary planar material folded along first and second transverse folds forming a front panel, a lid, and a rear panel disposed between the front panel and the lid,
• the front panel being folded over the rear panel along the first transverse fold, one of the front and rear panels including lateral projections folded along longitudinal folds and affixed to the other of the front and rear panels to form a document receptacle between the front panel and the rear panel,
• the lid being configured to be folded over the front panel along the second transverse fold to form a closure for the document receptacle, and
• at least one reference apparatus formed with at least one of the front panel, the rear panel, and the lid, the at least one of the front panel, the rear panel, and the lid includes one or more perforated score lines along at least a portion of the at least one reference apparatus to allow detachment of the at least one reference apparatus from the at least one of the front panel, the rear panel, and the lid, the at least one reference apparatus includes first and second opposed ends, the at least one reference apparatus additionally includes first and second spaced folds that are disposed between the first and second opposed ends, the first and second folds are parallel to each other, the at least one reference apparatus further includes:
• a first panel defined between the first end and the first fold,
• a second panel defined between the second end and the second fold, and
• a third panel disposed between the first and second panels and defined between the first and second folds,
• wherein the first, second, and third panels are coplanar with the at least one of the front panel, the rear panel, and the lid, the second panel includes a slot that is adjacent to the second fold and spaced from the second end, the slot defines a tab shaped to secure an end portion of planar material between the tab and the remainder of the second panel.
