Difference between temporary and permanent fasteners?

My assumption in the word use for temporary and permanent fasteners are regarding an office product you used for filing and organizing folders. Temporary would mean the fastener that can be easily removed from the manila folder and the permanent one is already glued right on to the folder. It cannot be removed unless pulled apart which will tear the folder.

You can buy a better quality folder that is a heavier grade of cardboard. Smead is one of the brand names. Possibly, gluing two lighter weight folders together might work in the short term. You could strengthen an existing folder by sticking some sort of wide tape (maybe parcel tape?) around the sides & bottom of it.

Why is a manila file folder called manila?

'Manila hemp, also known as manilla, is a type of fiber obtained from the leaves of the abacá (Musa textilis), a relative of the banana. It is mostly used for pulping for a range of uses, including speciality papers. It was once used mainly to make manila rope,[1] but this is now of minor importance. Manila envelopes and manila paper take their name from this fibre.[2][3]It is not actually hemp, but named so because hemp was long a major source of fibre, and other fibres were sometimes named after it. The name refers to the capital of the Philippines, one of the main producers of abacá.[2][3]"Source: Wikipedia
