Perhaps you need to replace your existing worn out files in your desk or cabinet, or you’ve just bought a new filer to discover that the draws are empty!
First thing you need to establish is the size of file that you need (not the size of paper you’re putting in it). Big office size filing cabinets (2, 3 or 4 drawer) generally take foolscap size files, whereas those sold for domestic use will probably use A4.
Basic files are made out of card attached to either metal or plastic bars with hooks at either end to engage with the runners of your cabinet drawers.
As you pay more for your files the card gets stronger, and you can even have them made out of polypropylene instead. Also the bars are stronger on the heavier duty files.
Standard files have a V bottom – if you’re storing a lot in each file go for the ones with a square base to give more capacity and longer life.
Most files come complete with the plastic index tabs and insert cards – if you need more then check you get the particular ones designed for your files.
