If you are setting up a new filing system, or frustrated with your current system, consider setting up an open shelf filing system. The biggest benefit: file shelves take up a lot less space than traditional file cabinets — like half as much space. If you’ve got a lot of files and only a little space, open file shelves and end tab file folders are the way to go.
Plus, open shelf filing system, coupled with colored coded labels or folders, are easy to maintain. That’s why open shelf filing has been the preferred method for medical offices for years. Medical offices typically have a ton of files to store. Since each section is delineated by a color band, you can spot a misfile a mile away. Comes in handy when your file folders contain life and death information!

Smead® Heavyweight Manila End Tab Folders SMD24110 Review |
 (5 / 5 stars) by Tray Thorton, Office Manager
 We have been using these folders for years. I am an office manager for a major optical company and we go through a lot of folders. I have tried to buy the no-name brand for less money, but to be honest it is not worth it! I think that Smead makes a quality product and ontimesupplies.com does a great job delivering them when they say they will. My advice is to go for the quality ones and skim on other things around the office like coffee! HA Just joking. |
