How should large-format drawings and blueprints be stored in an office?

Large-format drawings and blueprints (18"×24" to 36"×48") are best stored in one of three configurations: (1) Flat files — dedicated wide, shallow drawer cabinets (plan files) where drawings lie flat in individual drawers; (2) Rolled storage — vertical tubes or rolled storage racks that hold rolled drawings upright; (3) Hanging clamp files — clips attached to a overhead rail that hold drawings hanging vertically. Standard office storage cabinets (typically 18" deep) cannot accommodate large-format flat storage. Flat-file cabinets (30"×42" or 36"×48") are purpose-designed for this need.
