Description
Safco Facil Flat Files provide economical flat storage for blueprints, engineering drawings, artwork, maps, posters, and other large-format documents that should remain flat and organized. Designed for lighter-duty applications, Facil flat files are commonly used in schools, classrooms, offices, print rooms, and design environments where affordable document storage is needed without the heavier construction of professional archival flat files.
The all-steel cabinet construction is designed for long-lasting use and smooth drawer operation. Heavy-duty nylon rollers help drawers move easily, while courtesy stops help prevent drawers from pulling completely open during use. Rear hoods and hinged front depressors help protect stored sheets from curling and dust buildup.
Important: Facil Flat Files are designed as economical light-duty flat files for non-archival storage applications. If you need heavier-duty construction, smoother drawer operation, deeper drawers, or storage designed for frequent daily access, we recommend the professional Safco Steel Flat Files.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Facil Flat Files and Safco Professional Flat Files?

What types of documents can be stored in Facil Flat Files?
Facil Flat Files are commonly used to store blueprints, engineering drawings, artwork, posters, classroom materials, maps, and other documents that should remain flat rather than rolled.
Are Facil Flat Files archival quality?
No. Facil Flat Files are intended for economical non-archival storage applications. For long-term archival storage or heavier professional use, we recommend the professional Safco Steel Flat File series.

These terms describe how frequently stored documents are accessed. Active filing typically means the drawers are opened daily or very frequently.
