Flat Files & File Storage

1. Everyone organizes differently, but using your floor as the largest shelf in your house is no one's idea of organization. Keep your clutter under control by using flat file storage for safe, secure placement of your large artwork, prints, and other projects.

2. Using flat files to separate your materials is key to keeping your projects organized. A flat file cabinet offers loads of organized storage for your art and projects. A flat file cabinet has long, slim drawers that provide great storage for drawing and drafting supplies. Flat files allow artwork to lie flat, keeping it wrinkle-fee and pristine.

3. Look for flat file storage that is sturdy and offers divided sections. A little time spent organizing your work will ultimately save you time and hassle. Plus, keeping your different mediums separate will help your valuable drafting accessories last longer.

4. Hanging files offer another handy alternative for keeping artwork and drafting papers organized and your workspace productive. Depending on model you choose, hanging files can take up less space than flat file cabinets and allow you to see the papers you've organized. Hanging file wall racks may be less secure, but offer easier access.

5. Size matters, even when it comes to file storage. If you're looking for storage, be sure to choose a flat file cabinet or storage box that will allow your artwork and drafting papers to lay completely flat. Sheet storage sizes start at 11 x 14 inches and go all the way up to 36 x 48 inches, so one size doesn't have to fit all.

6. A taboret is a small, portable stand or cabinet with drawers and shelves for storage. Using a taboret in your studio or workspace can bring a sense of organization to the area and will help keep your studio clean for your next creative excursion.

7. A taboret is a convenient solution when your art studio serves more than one purpose. Keep materials like paints, brushes, and pens in individual drawers so that your supplies aren't jumbled. You can easily roll your taboret of supplies wherever you need it.

8. If your files don't have to be flat, portfolios, tubes, and role files offer another alternative for convenient storage and organization. Roll files and tubes are compact and come in a variety of sizes. Roll files can easily be stored upright in storage bins.
