Visually Enhanced Tab File System

A file folder comprising:

• a) a back panel having a top edge and a tab extending upwardly therefrom;
• b) a front panel having a top edge and a recessed portion creating a void, said void exposing a portion of the tab;
• and
• c) said top edge of said front and back panels being substantially equal in height except at the void and tab respectively.

A hanging folder comprising:

• a) a back panel including top edge and a tab extending upwardly therefrom,
• b) a support element in said panel for support;
• c) a front panel including a top edge and a support element in said panel for support;
• d) said top edge of said front panel including a recessed portion in positioned at least under said tab of said back panel, thereby exposing additional portions of the back panel.

A method making a file folder to have enhanced visual indicia tab space without increasing the overall folder size comprising:

• a) providing a folder blank of predetermined dimensions having a front and back panel, the back panel including a tab extension portion extending from an edge of the folder, the back panel having a tab of predetermined height and the front panel likewise having a predetermined height;
• the front panel overlying the back panel when the folder is in use thereby covering most of the back panel;
• and
• b) reducing the coverage of the back panel by the front panel adjacent the tab extension by cutting a portion of the front panel away thereby exposing more of said tab to be visible from the front.
