Abstract

A pocket for a folder and a method of making such a pocket and a folder having such a pocket more economically while also allowing ease and convenience of assembly by a customer and allowing a customer of a stationery shop greater flexibility in selecting a mix of folders with pockets and folders without pockets. The pocket has a panel and side and bottom tabs which are scored for folding easily. The pocket panel is disposed in position on a panel of the folder with the tabs between the pocket panel and folder panel, the bottom tab extending along the bottom edge of the folder panel and the side tab extending along a side edge of the folder panel, and the tabs adhesively attached to the folder panel to provide an opening to the pocket which extends along both the upper edge and a side edge thereof for conveniently putting papers therein. Double-coated pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is applied to the tabs and has a protective film on one side thereof which is peelable therefrom for adhesive attachment to the folder panel. The pockets are manufactured inexpensively by die-cutting and scoring a plurality thereof in a single die-cutting operation after the tape has been applied whereby the tape and blank may be cut as a unit so that the tape and tab edges are cleanly in conformity. The larger folders, being rectangular in shape, may be cut by the inexpensive guillotine-cutting process.
