We design, deliver, and install open filing systems and open vertical filing shelves. These open vertical filing systems save floorspace compared to conventional lateral file cabinets (view open shelf filing image gallery). Open shelf filing use side tab or end tab file folders instead of a traditional top tab folders. Using side tab and end tab labeling on folders allow you to place files on an open filing shelf, instead of in a closed file cabinet.  Placing files on open vertical filing shelves allows you to maximize your office floorspace and access your files quicker with greater accuracy.  Open filing shelves and open vertical filing racks cost a lot less than traditional lateral and vertical file cabinets too.

Using Color Coded Files On Open Vertical Filing Shelves

Using color coded file labeling in your open vertical filing shelves helps employees find files quicker and helps prevent misplaced documents and files.  Color coding is a process of assigning colored labels to certain key letters or numbers of the file name.  Assigning colors to key letters or numbers create blocks of color or color bars when like numbers or letters are organized together in your open vertical filing racks.  When files are accidentally placed in the wrong area or mis-filed in the open shelf file shelving, color bars are broken making the misplaced files obvious.  Some of the benefits of color coding on open file shelves are:

• Faster access to files.  The mind associates to color much quicker than black on white name labels. Color coded files on open filing racks allow you get to the desired area of the filing system very quickly.
• Saves time.  Reducing the amount of misplaced information makes personnel more productive.
• Improved attitudes.  Searching for misplaced files is frustrating, reducing the number of files misplaced improves workers' attitudes towards their work.
