Blueprint Storage | Flat File Cabinets & Rolled Document Racks
With decades of experience in blueprint storage, we offer expert solutions that protect your large-format drawings from wear and damage. Choose from heavy-duty flat file cabinets and vertical rolled racks or a more custom solution designed for efficient, long-term organization.
Rolled Blueprint Racks for Vertical Document Storage
Rolled blueprint shelving is ideal for vertical storage of maps, drawings, and large-format plans. These racks reduce damage by keeping documents upright and organized, making retrieval faster and more efficient. Each roll compartment prevents curl or crushing and helps maintain drawing integrity even after long-term storage.
Units are available in multiple heights and depths to fit different plan sizes and shelf loads. Open shelving or compartmented cubbies can be specified based on the document type or frequency of use. Whether placed in design studios, construction offices, or archive rooms, vertical blueprint racks help maximize storage space while protecting critical documents.
Benefits include:
- Upright storage prevents fold damage and curl
- Multiple tiers and depths for different document types
- Modular sections for scalable storage capacity
- Open shelving or fixed compartments available
- Ideal for architecture, engineering, or construction firms
Flat File Cabinets for Large-Format Drawing Protection
Flat file cabinets are the industry standard for long-term storage of blueprints, maps, drawings, and oversized documents. By storing materials flat instead of rolled or folded, these cabinets eliminate edge curling and reduce the risk of tearing or distortion.
Available in multiple drawer depths, sizes, and finishes, flat file systems are a go-to solution for architects, engineers, and government facilities. Lockable drawers and smooth-glide mechanisms ensure secure access and easy retrieval. Stacking options allow you to grow your storage vertically while keeping drawings organized and out of sight.
