What is a color-coded filing system and can I implement it with lateral file cabinets?

Color-coded filing is a proven document management strategy, and lateral file cabinets are its ideal hardware partner. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we work with clients in medical, legal, and financial services who rely on color-coded Pendaflex or Smead systems. The wide, full-suspension drawers in our lateral cabinets — typically 36" or 42" wide — keep every folder tab visible simultaneously, so a misfiled red folder in a blue section stands out instantly. Our cabinets' smooth full-extension slides ensure you're never rummaging through folders pressed against the back. Call us at 1.800.460.0858 and we'll help you select the right drawer count and width to match your color-coded volume needs.
