What is the interior depth of a typical flat file cabinet drawer?

Flat file cabinet drawer interior depth (the vertical space inside the open drawer) typically ranges from 1.5" to 2.5" per drawer. This depth determines how many sheets you can stack in a single drawer. At 2" depth with standard drawing paper (roughly 0.005" thick), you could theoretically fit 400 sheets — in practice, you'll work with 50–100 comfortably for easy retrieval. For thicker materials like mat board or foam core, the 2" depth accommodates fewer pieces. This is why users often organize a single project or small collection of related materials per drawer rather than filling each drawer to capacity.
