Some of the most important materials in a finished product are the ones you rarely notice. In expanding file folders, the hinge is a critical part of the construction, connecting the expanding sections and helping create the functional structure of the finished product.
Holliston’s Gusset Cloth is a specialized textile developed for this purpose. Latex-coated and starch-filled, it is used for hinge reinforcement in expanding file folders, providing manufacturers with a cloth specifically suited to this application.
Designed for a Specific Application
Expanding file folders rely on multiple components working together to create their distinctive expandable construction. Gusset Cloth is incorporated at the hinge, where it serves as a reinforcement material within the folder.
Its specialized construction makes it a practical textile solution for manufacturers producing expanding filing and organizational products.
A Small Component with an Important Role
Gusset Cloth is an example of how technical textiles can perform highly specific functions within products we use every day.
While it may represent only one component of an expanding file folder, selecting a material developed specifically for hinge reinforcement helps manufacturers match the cloth to the requirements of the finished product.
