Abstract
A file that has a receptacle with a first panel that defines a boundary of the receptacle, and an expandable pocket with a pocket panel. The pocket panel is narrower than the first panel and is attached to the outside thereof by an expandable wall, which permits the pocket panel to move with respect to the first panel while remaining parallel thereto. A non-fibrous, transparent tape is also provided at outside corners of a gusset of the main receptacle to protect the corners from wear.
