Film Storage and Filing
« on: February 04, 2012, 03:23:48 PM »
Not sure if this is the right sub-forum, but I'm wonder what people are using for storage and filing of films too big to fit in an average filing cabinet. We've got an ad-hoc system that works, but with the increased growth we need to upgrade our large film filing system. Currently we run a docket for very job including a cover sheet for every time the job is run. For small prints, pad printing etc. all film, plates, correspondence, quotes, and past cover sheets stay with that one docket. Obviously we'll list the file location of the film in the docket, but I'd be interested to see what some of these bigger shops are doing for the big film? cardboard files? tubes? and also how they file and store the containers the large film is stored in.

There is a thread with some pics of what others have done with some nice examples.  Personally I had two medical x-ray cabinets that we used which obviously worked well with the x-ray folder we use.

Thanks, I searched up the old thread and saw the coat-hanger/manila envelope idea... Looks great, and I finally have space in the new shop!
