Abstract
Abstract A folder (10) comprises a folder stock (12) having two sheets (13, 14) joined together to form a bottom (15), and a vertical panel (32) secured to an upper end of one sheet (14) of the folder stock. A pair of rails (22, 24) at the upper ends (16, 17) of both sides maintain the folder suspended such that the bottom section (15) is below said upper ends (16,17) and the panel (32) extends in a generally vertical direction. The vertical panel (32) includes pockets (38, 40, 42, 44) for holding magnetic media, such as diskettes (50, 52). The folder (10) permits storing magnetic media, such as diskettes (50, 52) together with the associated materials without the danger of warping or permanently distorting the diskette. It also prevents the transfer of static electricity from the papers stored in the folder stock to the diskettes stored in the pockets of the vertical panel (32).
