Claim:
A document folder comprising: a first face having a first outside wall a first inside wall, a first top edge, a first bottom edge, a pair of first side edges and a pair of first apertures spaced apart from the first top edge and first side edges; a second face having a second outside wall a second inside wall, a second top edge a second bottom edge, a pair of second side edges and a pair of second apertures spaced apart from the second top edge and second side edges; a gusset joining the first and second faces along at least part of the first and second side edges and the first and second bottom edges; and an elastic member extending: from the first inside wall, through one of the first apertures to the first outside wall, along the first outside wall to an edge of the first outside wall, to an edge of the second outside wall, along the second outside wall, through one of the second apertures to the second inside wall, along the second inside wall, through the other of the second apertures to the second outside wall, along the second outside wall to an edge of the second outside wall, to an edge of the first outside wall, along the first outside wall, through the other of the first apertures to the first inside wall and wherein the location of pairs of first and second apertures are asymmetric with respect to first and second top edges of the first and second faces, and the first and second side edges of the first and second faces wherein said first and second apertures are closer to said first and second top edges than they are to said first and second side edges, so that tension on said elastic member is less when the member is positioned over the top edges than when it is positioned over the side edges.
