Storage & Filing — Expert Answer
What's a good filing and storage approach for office supplies versus documents?
Office supplies and documents have different storage needs and shouldn't be mixed. Documents belong in filing cabinets with hanging folder systems — organized, labeled, and protected. Supplies belong in storage cabinets with adjustable shelves that accommodate different package sizes. Some offices use supply rooms with open shelving for easy stock-level visibility; others use closed storage cabinets to keep the office looking neat. Mobile supply carts let you bring materials to where they're needed. The key principle: don't use file drawers for supplies and don't use supply cabinets for documents — mixed storage creates organizational confusion and wasted time.
