a sheet of material having a top surface, a bottom surface, top and bottom edges, first and second side edges, and first and second tabs; said first tab located on said top edge and said second tab located on said bottom edge; said sheet of material including a first center fold line extending between said first and second side edges; said first center fold line positioned generally parallel to one or both of said top and bottom edges; said first center fold line spaced from said top edge a distance that is about 30-75% of a total distance between said top and bottom edges; said sheet of material including a first side fold line that extends between said top and bottom edges; said first center fold line intersecting said first enter fold line at a location that is spaced from said second side edge; said first side fold line positioned generally parallel to one or both of said first and second side edges; said first side fold line positioned closer to said second side edge than to said first side edge; said first side fold line spaced from said second side edge a distance that is about 5-40% of a total distance between said first and second side edges; and

wherein said folder is foldable along said first center fold line into a file folder having said first and second tabs each extending opposite said central fold;

wherein a bottom portion of said sheet of material is foldable along said first side fold line to adjust a length of said sheet of material prior to folding said folder along said first center fold line.

2 . The sheet for a folder as defined in claim 1 , wherein said first center fold line is formed of at least one depression and/or serrated region that is located on both said top and bottom surfaces of said sheet of material.

3 . The sheet for a folder as defined in claim 1 , wherein said first side fold line is formed of at least one depression and/or serrated region that is located on one or both said top and bottom surfaces of said sheet of material.

4 . The sheet for a folder as defined in claim 2 , wherein said first side fold line is formed of at least one depression and/or serrated region that is located on one or both said top and bottom surfaces of said sheet of material.
