How many hanging files fit in a typical vertical file cabinet drawer?

A standard vertical file cabinet drawer holds approximately 25–35 hanging folders, or about 2–3 inches of compressed letter-size documents per inch of drawer depth. The actual count varies with how full each folder is — a drawer packed with slim folders holds more folders but the same volume of paper. Don’t stuff drawers beyond about 80% capacity; overfull drawers are hard to search and strain the slides. Explore your options at FindOfficeFurniture.com or call 888-719-4960 — we're happy to help.
