Blue Shelf Lateral File
Foolscap, 242 x 367mm. 300gsm. 35mm expansion. 100 to a box. Avery code 45213.
Avery gives the colour a purpose, not a meaning. Their words are that these are ideal for department segmentation, and that they come in red, blue, green and yellow. That is the whole of it - no legend, no department map, no priority order and no status. Our own copy across these four had invented one. Decide what each colour stands for in your own system and the scheme works; Avery is not telling you.
The side tab is reinforced. Avery's published purpose for it is colour code labels and file title labels, which is the tab you read when the file is standing on a shelf.
No fastener is fitted, and Avery publishes the option. Their wording is that the file can be paired with a Tubeclip or Permclip file fastener, bought separately. Nothing is clipped in the box.
A correction. Our own listing for this code claimed that blue is the standard or default category, that this colour is used more often than the others, that it gives a stronger visual signal than a Mylar tab file and that the board holds its shape on an open shelf when fully loaded. Avery publishes none of it, so it has been removed.
Avery publishes no sheet count beyond the expansion figure and no load rating. Where they are silent, so are we.
What these are for. Avery's published use is colour coding your document storage and department segmentation, on existing shelf units, cabinets or mobile shelving units.
It sits in our filing and storage range, alongside Avery and the rest of the catalogue.
