An insert for a file folder comprising:
- a base sheet having a top edge, a bottom edge, a front surface and a back surface, wherein a first portion of the top edge is out-of-alignment with a second portion of the top edge so as to define a tab having a width;
- a first auxiliary sheet welded to at least one of the front surface and the back surface of the base sheet to define at least one accessory pocket with the base sheet;
- and
- a second auxiliary sheet welded to one of the front surface and the back surface of the base sheet to define a business card pocket with the base sheet, the business card pocket including a width that is sized to accommodate a first dimension of a business card and a length that is sized to accommodate a second dimension of the business card, wherein the width of the business card pocket is less than the length of the business card pocket;
- and
- wherein a portion of the business card pocket is positioned on the tab of the base sheet and oriented such that the width of the business card pocket spans the width of the tab and the length of the business card pocket extends into an area of the base sheet that is below the tab so that the width of the tab is minimized to allow for as many varying positions of the tab as possible on the top edge of the base sheet.
A divider for a file folder comprising:
- a primary sheet made of transparent plastic and having an integrally formed tab that protrudes from a top of the primary sheet, where in the tab includes a width;
- a secondary sheet made of transparent plastic and welded to a surface of the primary sheet to define at least one accessory compartment;
- and
- a tertiary sheet made of transparent plastic and welded to the surface of the primary sheet to define a business card compartment that accommodates a business card, wherein the tertiary sheet includes a length that is greater than a width of the tertiary sheet;
- and
- wherein a portion of the tertiary sheet is located on the tab of the primary sheet and is oriented such that the width of the tertiary sheet extends across the width of the tab and the length of the tertiary sheet extends below the tab on the primary sheet so that the width of the tab is minimized to allow for as many varying positions of the tab protruding from the top of the primary sheet as possible.
A method of accessing contents in a file folder, the method comprising:
- searching through a plurality of inserts in a file folder, each insert including a primary sheet having an integrally formed tab that protrudes from a top of the primary sheet, at least one accessory pocket defined by a secondary sheet welded to a surface of the primary sheet and a business card pocket defined by a tertiary sheet having a length that is greater than a width and being welded to a surface of the primary sheet, wherein the tertiary sheet is positioned on the tab of the primary sheet and oriented such that the width of the tertiary sheet spans a width of the tab and the length of the tertiary sheet extends into an area of the primary sheet that is below the tab so that the width of the tab is minimized to allow for as many varying positions of the tab protruding from the top of the primary sheet as possible;
- selecting one of the plurality of inserts in the file folder that includes a select business card in the business card pocket;
- and
- removing the select insert from the file folder including all contents related to the select business card that are stored in the at least one accessory pocket.
