FAQs

Do these files fit in a standard A4 filing cabinet?

Yes, these files are specifically sized to fit standard A4 and foolscap filing cabinet drawers.

Are the tabs and inserts replaceable?

Yes, the pack includes 50 sets of tabs and inserts. If you need more later, standard generic suspension file tabs are generally compatible.

Can these hold more than 150 sheets?

While the 15mm base is rated for 150 sheets, exceeding this capacity may cause the file to bulge and potentially damage the suspension bars.

Is the material waterproof?

No, these are made from 180gsm manilla paper, which is not waterproof. Keep them away from liquid spills.

Can I print on the inserts?

While they are intended for hand-writing, many users successfully run them through a printer by using a custom label template.

What does the 180gsm measurement mean?

GSM stands for Grams per Square Meter. 180gsm is a medium-weight card stock that provides a balance between flexibility and structural durability.

Troubleshooting

Tabs keep popping off the file

Ensure the tab is pressed firmly onto the metal or plastic ridge until you hear a definitive 'snap' sound.

File sliding is stiff on the rails

Check that the cabinet rails are level and free of dust or debris; a light wipe with a dry cloth usually resolves friction issues.

Paper inserts are difficult to write on

Use a fine-tip permanent marker rather than gel pens to prevent smudging on the card stock inserts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Includes essential tabs and inserts in every pack
  • High-visibility color for quick document identification
  • Environmentally conscious material composition
  • Durable bar system resists bending under weight
  • Large 50-piece pack provides excellent value for bulk filing

Cons

  • 15mm capacity may be too narrow for very thick manuals
  • Single color option limits complex multi-category coding systems
  • Standard manilla material is not tear-proof for heavy industrial use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up your filing system is straightforward. To assemble, simply fold the suspension file to expand the V-base. Insert your documents, then snap the provided plastic tabs onto the top ridge of the file. Slide the written paper inserts into the tabs before clipping them into position. These files are compatible with standard office lateral or pedestal filing cabinets that utilize rail supports. To ensure longevity, avoid overstuffing the files beyond the 15mm limit, as this can strain the suspension bars. Keep files in a cool, dry area to prevent the recycled manilla paper from absorbing moisture or fading over time.
