Abstract
A file folder and fastener combination wherein the folder has a major flap along one edge of the folder and a pair of spaced, colinearly aligned, elongated minor flaps formed in said folder or major flap and separated by a medial portion of the folder or major flap. The fastener has a central body portion overlying one surface of the medial portion of the folder or major flap. Elongated prongs extend from opposite ends of the central body portion of the fastener and overlie the minor flaps of the folder or major flap on the opposite surface of the folder or major flap from the surface upon which the central portion of the fastener is located. The major flap of the folder is folded against the folder and secured thereto so as to sandwich the central portion of the fastener between the folder and the major flap. Alternatively, instead of a major flap formed on one edge of the folder, the central body portion of the fastener may be covered by a separate strip of material.
