Vertical filing

Vertical filing is a method of storing and organizing documents or files in a vertical position, typically within a file cabinet or shelf. In this method, files are arranged from top to bottom, with each file being placed behind or in front of the other files.

Here are some key features of vertical filing:

High capacity: Vertical filing systems have a high capacity and can store a large volume of files and documents.

Easy expansion: Vertical filing systems can be easily expanded by adding additional cabinets or shelves.

Easy organization: Files can be organized alphabetically, numerically, or by subject matter within a vertical filing system, making it easy to locate specific documents or files.

Limited accessibility: It may be difficult to access files in the back of the cabinet or shelf without first removing the files in front of them.

Takes up more floor space: Vertical filing systems require more floor space than horizontal filing systems.

More protection: Vertical filing systems offer more protection against damage to files as they are stored upright and are less susceptible to bending or creasing.
