Product Information

Full details

The Exacompta Expanding File (A4, 13 Part) is designed for professionals and students who need to organize and transport A4 documents efficiently. Its key benefit is the expandable design with 13 brightly colored compartments, offering clear separation for various subjects or projects. A potential caveat is its capacity limit, which, while generous at 400 sheets, may not suit those with exceptionally large volumes of paper.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What material is the Exacompta Expanding File made from?

The file is made from a durable, clear polypropylene (PP) material, 0.7mm thick.

How many sheets can this file hold?

The file has a maximum capacity of approximately 400 sheets of A4 paper.

Are the dividers removable?

No, the 13 internal compartments are fixed within the file, but the included tabs are customizable.

What are the dimensions of the file?

The dimensions are approximately 330 mm in width and 250 mm in height (33 x 25 cm).

Can I fit documents other than A4 paper inside?

While designed for A4, slightly smaller or larger items might fit if they can be accommodated within the compartment size and the file's overall dimensions. However, A4 is the optimal fit.

Is the closure mechanism robust?

The file features a secure plastic clip closure designed for everyday use. For very heavy loads or rough handling, it's advisable to be mindful of its limits.

Troubleshooting

File does not close securely.

Check that the file is not overstuffed beyond its capacity. Ensure the plastic clip is properly aligned and not obstructed.

Compartments feel stiff or difficult to open.

Gently flex the expandable spine. If documents are packed too tightly, remove some to allow for easier access.

Tabs are difficult to write on.

Use a fine-tipped permanent marker or a ballpoint pen for best results on the included tab inserts.

Material appears creased or bent.

This can occur during shipping. Allow the file to sit open for a day or two; the material often recovers its shape. Avoid applying excessive pressure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Organizes documents with 13 distinct sections.
  • Durable and lightweight polypropylene construction.
  • Secure closure for safe transport.
  • Expandable design accommodates varying amounts of paper.
  • Includes customizable tabs for easy identification.

Cons

  • Maximum capacity of 400 sheets may be insufficient for very large projects.
  • Clear material might not offer privacy for sensitive documents.
  • Plastic clip closure may wear over time with heavy use.
  • Assorted colors may not match specific aesthetic preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This expanding file requires no assembly. Simply open the cover and begin inserting your A4 documents into the 13 pre-formed compartments. Utilize the included blank tabs and card stickers to label each section according to your organizational needs. The file secures with a front plastic clip closure.

Compatibility: The file is designed exclusively for A4 sized documents. It is compatible with standard A4 paper, reports, and other similar sized materials.

Care: To clean the file, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior and interior surfaces. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the polypropylene material. Ensure the file is completely dry before storing or using it. Store the file flat or upright to maintain its shape, and avoid placing heavy objects on top of it when it is not fully loaded.
