What is a flat-file cabinet?

A flat-file cabinet (also called a plan file, map cabinet, or blueprint cabinet) is a wide, shallow drawer storage unit designed to store large-format documents flat — without folding or rolling. Drawers are typically 1"–3" deep and sized for ARCH, ANSI, or ISO drawing formats. They are used by architects, engineers, graphic designers, surveyors, and any organization storing large-format prints, maps, or artwork.
