How not to drown in a sea of ​​folders?
Office work involves a clear organization and order in all matters, and especially in paper ones. Otherwise, you can spend a lot of time looking for the right document, which, as you know, is sometimes more expensive than money. Valuable (in the literal sense of the word) papers do not tolerate negligence. And there is no need to talk about confusion in accounting payments, orders, contracts, acts and other statements: even the most inexperienced accountant knows what fines this can result in him and the company as a whole.

Cases for documents and their types
To avoid documentary bedlam, you will need nothing less than systematize the paper scattering by stitching it into folders.

Innovative technologies have made it possible to master new art materials for making folders. Now, in addition to cardboard, they are made of plastic, PVC, bumvinyl. The color scheme consists of many tones and shades, including metallic, neon, chameleon and other newfangled colors.

The main types of folders can be represented by the following list:
The prosaic daddies with ribbons and binders made of plain gray-white cardboard are lost against the background of their modern, bright and beautiful brethren. Nevertheless, they have survived quite well for more than one century and continue to confidently lead in the office arms race due to their cheapness and practicality.

Folders registrars- stable massive folders, sometimes with a metal frame at the bottom edge or only corners, designed to store large amounts of information. The rigid, rigid cover allows them to stand on shelves and tables without any support. The spines of such folders have a convenient opening for easy removal from dense rows and are equipped with an external transparent pocket for inscriptions. Recorders come in different thicknesses, which is very convenient - if there are not too many documents, there is no need to spend money on a wide one. Conversely, with a significant amount of paper, you can limit yourself to one folder instead of two. The arch mechanism has great power and is ready to serve faithfully for a long time. Thus, due to a rather long period of intensive operation, the file-recorder pays off its price very quickly.
Corner binders are a very common shape that has particular advantages. It is convenient to use them to brochure presentation or exhibition material, as well as the final materials of seminars and conferences. Ease of manufacture and inexpensive material allows them to be used as promotional items. If you decorate the cover with a company logo or slogan, you can present your clients, including potential ones, with a pleasant and useful souvenir. Unlike a promotional brochure, such a folder will probably still serve before it ends up in the trash can.

Internal pockets are provided for the corners, which can also be self-adhesive - the owner of the folder can stick as many pockets as he sees fit, choosing the required color and size. Some corner folders are equipped with notches for business cards. The folder can be laminated to extend its service life.

Flexible file folders allow you to instantly navigate the contents of a folder without opening it, thanks to the transparent top of the cover. Inside there are "tendrils", like a regular binder, which hold the chipped sheets tightly.

Plastic transparent or translucent envelope folders with buttons or zippers do not have separate holders and mechanisms, so even the smallest documents can be stored in them - receipts, checks, etc.
A folder with pasted file sheets is very convenient for creating your own catalogs of brands, directories of any company, and for catering establishments - for menus. The contents of the files can be easily replaced if necessary without buying new covers.

Address folders are beautiful and presentable, usually embossed with gold or silk-screen printing. These are used for targeted thematic congratulations, as evidenced by the inscriptions "Anniversary", "Happy anniversary!". In folders of this type, they put documents for signature by the management staff, in this case they make a personal inscription - "Ivanov I.I." or laconic - "For signature"
The closable clipboard has the rigidity necessary to write or draw on the ground. It is very convenient to use folders of this kind for outdoor events or meetings. Usually, as a holder, they put a pressure clip - steel or plastic. With its help, documents are securely fixed inside, it is convenient to view them, flipping through.

When it comes to folders, one cannot ignore such an important accessory for them as dividers. Dividers are cardboard or plastic sheets with 2-4 binder holes that help navigate puffy folders, mostly in segregators with solid volume. To enhance the effect, dividers are made in multi-colored or monochromatic, with marked markings - alphabetically or by calendar (by day, month).

In addition to office folders, there are other folders - for children's creativity, for sketches, for notes or drawings. They, in addition to the popular A4 format, can also have the A0, A1, A2, A3 format. The rigid frame eliminates the flexibility to transport and store papers. For convenience, the folders are equipped with handles, which makes them look like a briefcase.
