The manila folder (occasionally manilla folder) is a file folder designed to contain documents. It is generally formed by folding a large sheet of stiff card in half.
The manila component of the name comes from manila hemp or abacá, from which manila folders were originally made. "Manila" refers to the capital of the Philippines, one of the main producers of abacá, species of banana native to the Philippines and is grown as a commercial crop The plant is of great economic importance, being harvested for its fibre which was originally used for making twines and ropes; now most abacá is pulped and used in a variety of specialized paper products including tea bags, filter paper and banknotes.
