Flat-File Cabinets — Expert Answer
What are the advantages of flat-file storage over rolled tube storage for drawings?
Flat storage preserves the dimensional accuracy of drawings — critical for to-scale engineering and architectural documents. Rolled drawings develop curl memory that makes them difficult to lay flat for reference. Flat storage also makes individual sheets easier to retrieve without disturbing other documents. Rolled tube storage may work for temporary active-project drawings, but archival or reference drawings should always be stored flat. OfficeFurniture2go.com — call 1-800-460-0858.
