Manila envelope

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A manila envelope is a holder designed to contain documents. It is a portrait-oriented envelope. Though traditionally beige, sometimes other colors are used to differentiate categories of files.

The "manila" component of the name comes from manila hemp or abaca, from which manila envelopes were originally made. Manila hemp is native to the Philippines and the term "manila envelope" is named after its capital city.^[1]
