Heritage & History
Pendaflex has manufactured hanging file folders and filing accessories in the United States since the early 1940s. The Pendaflex name became synonymous with hanging files because the company invented and popularized the format: file folders suspended from metal rails in a drawer, providing direct access without removing adjacent folders.
Pendaflex remains one of the best-known brand names in office supplies — a product so ubiquitous that many American workers call any hanging file folder a 'Pendaflex' regardless of brand.
Made in the USA
Pendaflex hanging file folders are manufactured in the United States using recycled cardboard and paper stock from American mills. The product line includes standard hanging folders, box-bottom hanging folders, colored folders for color-coded filing systems, and file folder kits.
For offices that buy hanging files by the box and expect consistent quality — products that don't vary in cardboard weight, metal rod straightness, or tab slot placement — Pendaflex provides American-made reliability. Made in the USA since the filing cabinet was invented.
