Hanging file

Suspension files are probably the most proven filing and management option for documents - whether in the office, at work or at home. With hanging files, large quantities of files can be sorted clearly and time-savingly in a small space, so that the required documents can be accessed quickly and easily. Hanging files for personnel files, for example, are a good way of filing and managing important documents in a structured way in the office. This makes loose sheets of paper a thing of the past.

How does a hanging file work?

Hanging files - e.g. from Leitz or ELBA - are available in 3 different versions: Suspension files, suspension folders and suspension pockets. All hanging files have in common that they were developed for archiving files and are stored hanging. Suspension files are open at the bottom and the data is stapled in via a stapling strip. This prevents loose sheets from falling out, but requires all sheets to be punched. Suspension files are open at the top, allowing sheets to be easily inserted loosely. Suspension files are constructed in the same way as suspension files. However, to prevent individual sheets from falling out, they have so-called "linen frogs" - they form the lateral connection between the two folder covers and thus secure your document pages, completely without stapling strips and holes.

Hanging files or binders?

Storing your documents securely is at least as important as the management itself - if a paper accidentally lands in the wrong tray or falls to the floor unseen, the consequences can be catastrophic. That's why hanging files offer an ideal way to store important documents in an orderly fashion. Unlike folders, hanging files offer a clear and space-saving storage option even for smaller quantities of documents. This means that documents in hanging files can be used for long-term storage as well as for daily use in the office.

Advantages and disadvantages of hanging files

We are in the digital age, so why go back to hanging file systems and paper printouts? Hanging files are durable, totally reliable and literally tangible. A PC, on the other hand, can crash or deny access to urgently needed data due to a system error - in a hanging file system, these documents can be reliably retrieved at any time. Hanging files are particularly popular for personnel files, as they provide a quick overview of original documents.

To ensure optimum organisation of your hanging files, you can also obtain suitable accessories from us - for example hanging file boxes or a hanging file rack. These can be stored in a space-saving manner in the office, in archives or in storage rooms, so that you can always keep an overview. Index tabs and filing strips are also useful aids in everyday office life. They ensure that you can find all documents at a glance and label them individually.

Do you need more space for your hanging files?

If you have a large amount of files, it is a good idea to store the folders in filing cabinets. They are specially designed for storing hanging files. The drawers make it possible to quickly access the required data records and to set up your own clear filing structure. Lockable cabinets are suitable for particularly sensitive data. This way your documents are safe from unauthorized access.
