HOW TO USE
LEGAL SIZE SHEET PROTECTORS
A legal-size document is actually the perfect document format, a full 8-1/2 x 14 inches high. Legal size papers just provide those 3 inches extra at the bottom to write on that always seem to be missing on a standard letter format, being 8.5 x 11 inch.
Nowadays, most larger printers and copy machines accept the legal-size format and binders as well as legal-sheet protectors are available so there is no real reason not to choose the legal-format when preparing documents. The extra 3 inches may also be the reason why many law and legal companies choose to work in this format and issue their forms and blankets in this large format.
The legal-size sheet protector is punched with 7 holes opposed to the more traditional 3-hole punched letter format. These 7 holes simply provide better support for the stored documents when filed in a binder. It prevents the documents from sagging and getting wrinkled with time. At present, the 14 x 8-1/2 size sheet protector is also offered in archival-safe material so you no longer need to worry when it comes to long-term storage, as long as the products are approved as being: Archival-safe.
