The choice of the correct file type and index is crucial but can often be overlooked in the overall project. It is the correct choice of hardware combined with the most appropriate filing software which will produce the ultimate solution. One without the other is only going half the distance and will only give half a solution - leaving expectation levels unfulfilled.

It is essential to choose the right type of folder for the anticipated application. These are some of the questions needing to be answered:

• Is this a permanent or temporary folder?
• What size and quantity of papers will be placed in it?
• Will there be a need to segment the folder into different sections?
• Will I need to keep paperwork loose or fastened?
• In what equipment is the folder to be housed lateral shelf or drawer, hanging or sitting on a shelf?
• Is it expected that the file will travel through several departments or will it be a general reference file staying in one place?
  
  

The answers to these questions will dictate the weight of the folder material, size of expansion gusset required, type of index tab, and whether you will need to look at box files or lever arch files. Below are examples of some of the various folders available.

 

Labels
