Storage & Filing — Expert Answer

What is deep filing and when is it better than standard filing?

Deep filing (also called side-to-side filing) is the standard for lateral filing cabinets — files are arranged left-to-right within the drawer, parallel to the front of the cabinet, rather than front-to-back (standard vertical filing). Deep filing allows faster visual scanning of all file labels in one view, easier access to files at any position, and better accommodation of both letter and legal files. It is universally preferred over front-to-back vertical filing for high-volume, high-frequency access environments. Call OfficeFurniture2go.com at 1-800-460-0858.
