What can you say about an A4 binder that in my 3 years of blog writing hasn’t already been said…difficult one. We all know what they’re general uses are, but we do seem to forget quite how useful they are when used for purposes that are out of the ordinary. Generally used in schools and educational facilities for keeping work together and also in the office for displaying information such as health and safety, instruction manuals and training papers, the binder has many uses. However they are far more than this, we just seem to forget them when we’re looking for solutions.

Have you considered swapping your current filing system for a binder filing system? You could alphabetically organise all your home paperwork, from bills and statements, to birth and marriage certificates. Your children school reports could be filed and all pay slips and guarantees/manuals could also be carefully tucked away in your new binder system. These binders can then be stacked upon your shelved with spine labels facing outwards so that you can easily read what the contents are. Alternatively you could colour code your A4 binders as they are available in a huge selection of colours. They also make great filing system for the office in the same way, looking very professional and organised and also enabling faster retrieval of documents than other forms of filing. A perfect storage tool for recopies or as I recently discovered after buying my daughter a skull and cross-bone binder, a great implement for creating a ‘club’ rule book.

We have many binders available at Office 365, all with whopping great big savings available! In fact, you won’t find our binders cheaper anywhere else, and if you do, thanks to our Price Match Policy, we’ll match it!

Many people choose box files as a sturdy, fuss free form of filing for both the office and the home. However some find that maintaining an organised file system is more difficult than they realised allowing stacks of paper to mount up, bills to get muddled and confused and invoices and utilities left unpaid as a result. It doesn’t have to be so complicated however, a simple set of box files, one for each bill, can be added to and taken away from whenever a bill comes through the door and whenever you need to retrieve a statement. These box files can then be neatly stored on a shelf in the office for easy access, or filed away in an archive box for neat storage. Filing in this way gives you more time, less stress, more living space and of course, more money due to the better organisation of the finances. This may initially take an hour or two as it is important to go through your paper work before you start up a new filing process.

So, before you begin filing, first sift through all your files, folders, drawers, heaps and mounds of paperwork and remove any documents you no longer need. You’ll be surprised at how many this actually is! When you have finished, shred the old, unwanted paperwork. While sorting through your paperwork, if you find something you’d like to keep, file it straight away.

As and when you receive bills and statements, don’t leave them in various heaps, file them straight away. If you begin a small pile ‘to be filed later’, it will only grow. I found myself leaving a couple of bills out in the office as I knew I needed to phone them. As the days turned to weeks the pile started to grow. Instead, make a list of the companies you need to phone and the bills that need to be paid and FILE IT straight away. Where possible, switch to paperless billing, it’s kinder to the environment.

Here at Office 365 we have various different box files available for you storage needs. However the home and the office demand different things. Are you filing foolscap documents or A4, or are you looking to archive old business paperwork for infrequent access? We have various different box file dimensions available here to cater to a wide range of needs. Choose from A4 box files, Foolscap box files, Archive storage boxes (measuring WxDxH: 317 x 384 x 287mm), metal suspension file boxes (measuring WxDxH: 370 x 220 x 290mm), and various plastic filing boxes in sizes including 35 litres, 24 litres and 19 litres.

Box files are probably the most efficient form of home and office filing, whilst also being the most tidy and organised looking when lined up on shelves. You can label them alphabetically or into categories or alternatively you can colour code them making sure to use a different coloured box file for each category of contents. Get 2011 off to a good start and organise your paperwork and filing. A clear desk and filing system is a clear mind, plus also enables you to access the paperwork you need when you need it – quickly. Box files are a strong and sturdy filing method which doesn’t cost nearly as much as other filing solutions. They have been developed specifically so that they can contain a variety of different forms of content as they are available in so many sizes and shapes which hold loose papers to bits and bobs.

One of our best A4 box files is the Polypropylene Snopake DocBox Box File available in a range of colours including blue, green, pink, purple, turquoise and clear. The pictured Snopake DocBoxes feature;

• Made from heavy gauge polypropylene
• Fully welded rigid construction for strength
• Secure plastic push-lock protects contents
• Business card holder and index strip
• Cutaway front for easy access
• 25mm Spine
• Assorted Electra packs contain one each of blue, green, pink, purple and turquoise
• Size: A4
• 24% Off!

With their heavy gauge and fully welded construction, these box files are perfect for heavy duty and repetitive use. Sealed with a push lock and identified by either colour coded or indexed options, these box files are adaptable for use by anyone. Our range of A4 Box Files is made up on many top brands and a range of prices to suit every pocket; however our Snopake variety - like the featured box files - has fantastic environmental credentials.

As market leaders in the field, Snopake have driven the environmental agenda in relation to filing and presentation products with the introduction of a new dedicated range called Snopake ReBorn and the concept of ‘lifetime responsibility’.

Within this concept Snopake believe that the ReBorn products are Resource Responsible – each having been produced using a minimum of 70% recycled materials without compromising quality. ReBorn products are Environment Responsible – robust materials have been used to create versatile products that will last reducing the need for replacement, energy consumption, transport mile, etc. The Reborn range is also Consumer Responsible – each product being produced with a full 10-year guarantee as standard. In addition, Snopake offers a unique ‘end of life program’ to recycle the ReBorn products at the end of their lifecycle making them ultimately lifetime responsible.

Home and Office filing has to be one of the greatest demands on the world of stationery. We all file and if we don’t, well then you get caught out. Filing in the home can consist of mortgage statements, tenancy agreements, council tax bills, utility bills, mobile phone bills, birth and medical certificates, payslips, bank statements; you name it. This list is purely for the home. As you can imagine, the documentation that a business would need to file is simply colossal!

It doesn’t matter whether you’re filing in your home or in the office; we all go through many different varieties of filing implements. Personally I’ve tried ‘organised’ heaps (*cringe*), letter trays, letter drawers, heavy duty filing boxes and expandable filing wallets. In the office you will always find the obvious and monstrous filing cabinets which are most often used for filing customer and client details and accounts among other important documentation. However systems in the office often require a less hefty filing tool than the cabinet. This is where smaller and more individual filing aids such as Plastic Box Folders come in handy. They offer a convenient way of filing topically, encapsulating each ‘category’ separately. You could file individually using box folders allowing one plastic box folder for each letter of the alphabet. Alternatively file according to date which can be useful when filing documents such as invoices. The technique for this could be each folder represents a month or the equivalent.    

A fantastic example of a plastic box folder would be the heavy gauge Rapesco box file featured.

• Practical A4 heavy gauge polypropylene file
• Push-lock clasp closure and welded sides keeps contents safe and secure
• Index / card holder on spine and business card size holder on front for personalisation
• 60mm capacity
• Size: A4
• Blue

Made by the reputable Rapesco, this folder has assurance just in its name! With Rapesco’s reputation, this folder will stand the test of time. Through heavy-duty and consistent use, this one will stick by you thick and thin, providing the safest housing for your irreplaceable paperwork. With security such as this, you’d normally expect a big price tag, which I must admit would have been the case had Office 365 not intervened. Now you can buy the box with us and enjoy the added security of 22% off making it just £5.16! Kit the whole office out with 25+ units and we’ll bring the price down further.
