Filing Solutions

 

Lateral filing stands files side-on in an open cabinet instead of hanging them in drawers, and colour-coded end tabs make a misfiled file obvious from across the room. The two systems here are Codafile and Filecorp. For drawer-based hanging files, see suspension files.

Lateral filing stores files side-on, spine outward, on open shelving rather than hanging front-to-back in drawers. You read the end tab the way you read book spines on a bookshelf. It fits more files into the same floor space than drawer cabinets and makes retrieval faster once the colour coding is set up.
Each file gets colour labels on its end tab, by letter for alphabetical systems or by digit for numeric ones. Filed in order, the colours form bands along the shelf. A file put back in the wrong place breaks the band and stands out immediately, which is what keeps a large system accurate.
They are separate systems with their own files, labels and fasteners, so it is best to stay within one once you have chosen. Both achieve the same colour end-tab result. If you are extending an existing system, match what is already on your shelves rather than mixing the two.
They bind loose paper inside a lateral file without a stapler, with a base, a press bar and a U-piece that thread through punched holes and lock the pages flat. They let you add and remove sheets while keeping the file in order, and they sell in bulk packs because a busy system gets through them.
Yes. Crystalfile and Marbig Enviro suspension files cover cabinets set up with rails to hang files in drawers, which suits smaller systems and personal filing. Lateral shelving and suspension drawers often run side by side in the same office, with archives going lateral and active personal files staying in a desk pedestal.

Codafile, Filecorp or suspension

Codafile and Filecorp both run files spine-out on open lateral shelving, with colour alpha or numeric labels on the end tab so a file in the wrong place breaks the colour band on the shelf. The range covers the file wraps and folders, the 3-piece fasteners that hold paper inside them, and full label sets in A-Z and number runs. Crystalfile and Marbig Enviro suspension files cover the drawer side for cabinets set up to hang them.

Files on a shelf, not in a drawer

Lateral filing turns a wall of files into something you read like a bookshelf. Files stand spine-out on open shelving, end tab facing you, which packs more records into the same floor space than drawer cabinets and makes pulling a file a one-step job. It is the system accountants, law firms, clinics and councils run when the file count climbs into the thousands. The two ranges here, Codafile and Filecorp, both deliver it, each with its own files, wraps and fasteners.

Why the colour matters

The colour end-tab labels are the whole point. Each file is tagged by letter or by number, and once everything is filed in order the labels line up into solid colour bands along the shelf. Slot a file back in the wrong place and the band breaks, so the error shows up the moment it happens instead of weeks later when someone needs the file. The range carries the full alpha A-Z and numeric label sets to build and maintain that coding.

Fasteners and the suspension alternative

Inside each file, 3-piece fasteners hold the paper flat without a stapler, threading a base, press bar and U-piece through punched holes so sheets add and remove cleanly. They sell in bulk because an active system uses plenty. For drawer-based filing, Crystalfile and Enviro suspension files cover cabinets fitted with rails, and the two approaches often run side by side. Browse the Codafile and Filecorp ranges in full. Bulk filing orders qualify for Business Pass account pricing with monthly invoicing, and orders over $30 ship free across NZ.
