Favourite Organising Tools #2 - Plastic Display Folders

By Marcia Francois

Or as we call them here in South Africa - FLIPFILES

So what are flipfiles?

Handy clear plastic files, neatly bound in book format. Slim and light for easy handling, storage and carrying. Anti-static-allows quick insertion and withdrawal of documents. Will not lift ink from photocopies.
Outer-cover insert replaceable with users own title page.

Why I love them

1. You can have lots of categories
2. They take up very little space
3. They come in 10-page, 20-page and 30-page
4. They are perfect for the lazy organiser - no punching, you just slip the pages inside the plastic sleeves.
