File folder extender

A file folder comprising:

• a. a plurality of panels, wherein at least one of said panels comprises:
• i. a file extension plate apparatus integral therewith;
• ii. a first substantially vertical row of mounting slots punched through said plate;
• and
• iii. a second substantially vertical row of mounting slots punched through said plate, wherein at least three of said mounting slots in said first substantially vertical row of mounting slots aligns horizontally with at least three of said mounting slots in said second substantially vertical row of mounting slots, thereby composing at least three pairs of horizontally aligned mounting slots;
• and
• b. wherein each of said three pairs of horizontally aligned mounting slots has a foldable stake projecting outward and threaded therethrough, said foldable stakes aligned in horizontal pairs.

A method of manufacturing a file folder comprising:

• a. Providing a planar substrate folded substantially 180 degrees at least once in a vertical direction and further comprising:
• i. a first substantially vertically aligned row of mounting slots punched through said substrate;
• and
• ii. a second substantially vertically aligned row of mounting slots punched through said substrate, wherein at least three of said mounting slots in said first substantially vertically aligned row of mounting slots aligns horizontally with at least three of said mounting slots in said second substantially vertically aligned of mounting slots, thereby composing three pairs of horizontally aligned mounting slots;
• and
• b. wherein each of said three pairs of horizontally aligned mounting slots has a foldable stake projecting outward and threaded therethrough, said foldable stakes aligned in horizontal pairs.

A file folder comprising:

• a. a plurality of panels, wherein at least one of said panels comprises a file extension plate apparatus integral therewith, said file extension plate apparatus comprising:
• i. a plurality of file extension plates positioned directly above said panel, wherein at least two file extension plates are both directly above and aligned with at least one file extension plate, and wherein said file extension plates comprise substantially horizontally aligned mounting slots punched therethrough;
• ii. a first hinge connecting a first file extension plate to a second file extension plate;
• iii. a second hinge connecting a second file extension plate to a third file extension plate;
• and
• iv. stakes threaded through each of said plurality of file extension plates capable of holding document bundles.
