Vol. 275: Perforated Flat-File Cabinets

Storing fragile, chemically unstable documents

Staff at a county archive wanted to store chemically unstable documents in ventilated flat-file cabinets, but they couldn’t find what they were looking for.

Spacesaver’s engineering team designed a flat-file cabinet with perforations in the front and back of each drawer, as well as a perforated back panel. The design allows the cabinets to retain their structural integrity while promoting ventilation.
