File Guide : What is it?

FileGuides1

File guides are modified file folders with one or more dividers. They are used to create subdivisions in large files, such as alphabetical or chronological listings. The edges are cut with two to five tabs, where the user can write labels for each section. Some file guides have colored tabs, which makes them easier to locate in large stacks. They are available in standard paper sizes such as letter, legal, and A4.

Choosing File Guides (Buying Tips)

Material: Choose a file guide made of stiff cardboard for storing, heavy thick files or transporting them outside the office. For smaller files, look for a lightweight manila folder. These will also hold ink and color longer, making them ideal for archiving.

Size: Make sure your file guide matches the paper size you usually work with. If you use different types of paper, choose the largest size so you can fit both small and large sheets into the folder.
