A system including a panel having a panel opening and a coupling device coupled to the panel. The coupling device includes a coupling device opening and a flange positioned adjacent to the coupling device opening. The coupling device opening at least partially overlaps with the panel opening, and the flange is elastically deflectable to allow a binding mechanism to pass the flange and into or out of the coupling device opening.

A device for providing attachment points for a folder has a layer of material with an inside surface and an outside surface. The inside surface folds onto itself to form a doubled layer having a folded edge and a cut out section. A supporting segment at or near the folded edge closes the cut out section into an aperture for receiving a closing mechanism of a binder. The device is adhered to the inside of a folder at the folder openings arranged to receive the binder's closing mechanism. When the reinforced folded folder is mounted into a binder, both sides of the folded folder press against the attachment device to contain the attachment device in the folder, and the supporting segment presses against the closing mechanism to contain the folder in the binder.

A pocket structure including a first panel, and a second panel coupled to the first panel to define a pocket with the first panel. The second panel has an opening intersecting an outer edge thereof. The opening has a transverse portion oriented generally parallel to the outer edge and a leg portion oriented generally perpendicular to the outer edge.

A shopping bag is provided that can be transformed for use as a file holder for storing documents and items such as a large envelope. The shopping bag includes a rectangle-shaped body part formed by a pair of front and back sheets, handles provided to the open side of the body, and a file part that is integrally formed with the body and that is turned into a rectangle-shaped file holder when separated from the body. The file part includes a separation line to be used for separating the file part from the body, a joint line formed inside of the separation line along the two sides of the separation line, at which the front and back sheets are joined together, and a cut-out part formed as a part of the separation line to be used as a starting point for separating the file part from the body.

A folder and method of making a panel with a plurality of foldable tab extensions. The extensions include first and second regions extending away from the panel, and having scored fold lines therebetween. The uppermost tab region has a releasable adhesive as does a portion of the panel. The panel has a releasable coating or surface such when the tab extensions are folded, either at the first or second region along the fold lines, adhesive on the second region will mate with surface on the panel. To reduce memory effect at the fold, the score lines can be triple scored by parallel two or three parallel score lines. The central score line can be shallower than the parallel scores on either side thereof.
