Abstract
A combination file folder and fastener for securing loose papers to the folder. The folder has a flap cut along a hinge line about which the flap is pivotable. There is a cover strip which covers a portion of the outside of the folder including the flap. A central portion of the fastener is sandwiched between the cover strip and the flap with the ends or prongs of the fastener extending into the interior of the folder such that loose papers may be positioned over the prongs and thereby secured within the folder.
