A folder folder is an indispensable attribute of any office. This simple stationery serves to facilitate the inconspicuous, at first glance, work of office clerks. The main purpose of such a folder is short-term storage of documents.
Any employee always has a lot of papers on the desktop. Each of them is a document that contains certain information. It may be required at any time, and the employee must know exactly where to find it. For this, all documents should be classified according to the main characteristics (type, purpose, deadlines) and stored separately in accordance with them. This is exactly what the folder folder is for.
Invented this simple device in the 19th century, an ordinary German employee. The story of creation is extremely simple. The employee is terribly tired of the situation when everything on the table constantly crumbles. In order to find a specific document, you have to turn over a bunch of other, unnecessary papers. And then a wonderful thought occurred to him: "What if all the letters, forms, invoices, contracts are put in separate piles and fastened there with a special device?" This simple idea served as an impetus for creating the first folder with the simplest mechanism inside. The principle of action, like all ingenious, is simple. The device was a bracket on which documents were "strung" one after another. The paper pressed the plate. She had to hold the edge of the sheet. There were small clips on it that wrapped the edges of the staple so that the documents appeared to be “sewn” to the folder. Clips could be loosened at any time and get the right document. So, an unknown clerk from Germany helped reorganize the work of office workers around the world. And the folder folder helped the inventor in the future. He was able to become the owner of his own company and move to live in the capital.
After a short time, the folders were already lying on the desks of all office employees. Workers quickly realized their benefits:
- Protection of documents from pollution and various kinds of mechanical damage.
- Address storage of business papers.
- Quick collection and search of documents.
Such "miracle folders" began to be released on an industrial scale. Over the years, the design of the clamping device, the external design have improved, new types of materials have appeared. Now the folder folder meets all the requirements of office work.
Entire corporations are releasing this important stationery. Production classifies products according to the main features:
- Material (cardboard, polyethylene or plastic).
- Type of mounting device (plastic or metal bracket).
- The principle of the mounting device (clamping or through).
- The presence of perforation (allows you to simplify the archiving of documents).
A folder with a folder has found its application not only in offices. This item is now in every home. Pupils use polyethylene products with a transparent top for writing essays.
And plastic folders with clamping help students visually conduct presentations in the classroom. The principle of attachment served as the basis for creating new versions of albums for photographs.
A folder “Case” is the easiest and cheapest way to store a small amount of business papers. Its
overall dimensions (222 x 308 mm) allow you to file up to 200 sheets of both ordinary documents and letterheads in files. The product is made of cardboard of various thicknesses and colors. It is quite light and compact. A special inscription is applied on the surface of the folder with a stencil, which clearly defines the places for filling. It has a lightweight mounting mechanism made of tin or stainless steel. The length of the antennae can be from 45 to 50 millimeters. Such instances are extremely convenient for storing operational information on a particular partner or business project.
Science does not stand still. Customer demand is growing, and perhaps in the near future, designers will develop new models that will take into account all possible wishes.
