Herlitz A4 3-Flap File with Elastics - Assorted Colours (10 Pieces)

I like categories and I find what was meant to be a 'paperless' office is full of paper. So I decided the best thing to do is to put everything into clearly labelled folders. These are just the right size for most of my needs and it's easy to keep my work organised.

EXCELLENT VALUE

Excellent

I had been using Europa portfolio files bought in a local shop and found them really good. Thought I would try the Herlitz version to file assorted paper mementos. These are nice and bright, and sturdy enough. However, I hadn't noticed that the side flaps are glued on and shorter than those in the Europa version. The practical consequence I see to this is that the file won't hold smaller bits of paper securely, as may be visible in the photo I'm about to try to upload.The board is a little less thick than the Europa brand, and there's a bit less of it in all. Also, the elastics are lighter. The Europa will probably handle a heavier and thicker load happily. However, for a reasonable quantity of A4 sheets, I anticipate the Herlitz files will do nicely and the Europa may be overkill. I am ordering some Europa files to keep my fiddly little bits of paper safely contained.

Good product if you are keeping them on a shelf or filing system. Not great if you are a 13 year old shoving them in and out of a rucksack daily. They just couldn’t cope with the rough treatment. Got some zippy plastic reinforced things in the end.

These flap files are oK but if you want something to hold more than 20 sheets of A4 I would find something else
