Color-Coded Filing Systems

File folders contain a myriad of paper documents and are used by businesses in all types of industries. As the files increased in size, such problems as misfiles, overcrowding of cabinets, inefficient floor space utilization, and a decrease in production of file personnel.

Over 40 years ago the files migrated from the cabinet to the shelf. This move necessitated the files index tab to be moved from the top of the folder to the side. Now a wide array of folders were visible leading to a more productive method of filing and a more efficient use of floor space.

Color-coded labels were placed on the side tab of the folders to eliminate misfiles and increase the speed of retrieval and refile. Any alpha, numeric and terminal digit systems were accommodated with the labeling system. Each file may have several labels applied.

Because this can be a very time-consuming and expensive process, the most recent technology addresses this problem - On-Demand Label Printing.

If a company requires a sizable file conversion, they can e-mail over a secure website the data necessary to create the labels by the factory. What took several weeks to accomplish can be done in just hours with On-Demand Label Printing.

Today a person can create one (1) 8" label on their desktop with inexpensive software instead of several labels from a roll. Available is stand-alone desktop software and also web-based sites for printing labels. This process is less expensive because it takes less time for the operator in the application of the labels.
