Sichtmäppchen
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Paper / Paper Manufacturing
Stationery
Alles was nicht für den laufenden Tag ist, muss im Sichtmäppchen im roten Bestellordner abgelegt werden.
The text is basically related to finance. But that has no relevance to the context at hand.
Here, it refers to how the company plans its day. Only items related to that particular day should be out. Everything else should be tucked away in a Sichtmäppchen.
Isnt a 'Sichtmäppchen' just a plain folder? Or is it a transparent folder - a folder, which allows to view its contents?

(clear) plastic sleeves
im Sichtmäppchen im Bestellordner = in (clear) plastic sleeves of/in the red purchase folder
You can either use "clear plastic sleeves" or only "plastic sleeves". Both are equally good. Just that "clear plastic sleeves" is a bit more specific & highlights 'Sicht' thing. But as file folders mostly come with transparent sleeves only...therefore "plastic sleeves" should also serve the purpose.
It basically refers to a file folder that has many plastic sleeves (folder like thing) fixed in the same way as several pages are fixed in a notebook.

Thanks Mimoza! I did think of 'transparent folder' too, but I am still not very sure.
