Compartment shelving for rolled blueprints

Rolled Blueprint Racks for Vertical Document Storage

Rolled blueprint shelving is ideal for rolled plan and drawing storage, keeping architectural blueprints upright and organized for fast retrieval. Each roll compartment prevents curl or crushing and helps maintain document integrity for construction drawings and engineering plans.

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. Storing materials flat instead of rolled protects delicate lines and ensures accurate scale for technical drawings and plan sets.

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.
