The *best* way to store plain manila file folders?
joshcarter | Apr 7 2006
Hi all, Once upon a time you could buy a filing cabinet that worked with file folders of the non-hanging variety, but it appears that such times are long past. I've been trying to figure out how to store folders nicely in cabinets designed for hanging files, but nothing seems to work well: * Shoving the folders in and hoping for the best makes a mess, because the folders in back aren't supported well and the ones in front slide down. Sticking small boxes in front and back kind of helps, but it's ugly and far from perfect. * Putting manila folders into hanging folders works, but it seems terribly inefficient, especially for small folders. The David says you shouldn't have inhibitions about filing a single piece of paper. Further, it doubles the size of your files. What tricks to people here use? Thanks, 14 Comments

I am experimenting with hanging folders with a twist: I am putting a few staples into the hanging folders so that, when I put plain file folders of manilla folders in, they stick out at the top. It is still a bit wasteful but at I hope that it will at least make the labels easier to read... D » POSTED IN:
