The term "red rope" for expandable file folders likely originated from the material traditionally used in the construction of these folders. Red rope is a durable, reinforced paper material that provides strength and longevity to the folder's expanding sides. The distinct red color and rope-like texture of the material may have led to the common use of the term "red rope" to describe these types of folders in the stationery and office supply industry.

During the late 5th century B.C. Athens employed Scythian slaves to round up citizens to attend the public assembly. They carried between them a rope dipped in red paint.

Anyone who had red paint on their clothes at the assembly would not get paid for their attendance.
