Overall winner: Smead 1/3-cut left tab file folders, letter size, Manila (10331) – pack of 2

Key Differences

Pendaflex (A) is the more affordable option and includes both left and right 1/2-cut tabs for flexible labeling; some users, however, call its folders thin. Smead (B) uses sturdier 11-point stock with 1/3-cut left tabs and comes as two packs (about 200 folders total), appealing if you prioritize heavier stock and left-tab organization
