Every January I start a new file for the year. This one is even better not only because the lid latches in place but the plastic is sturdier and the lid is slightly raised to accommodate any overflow papers or booklets. I prefer file jackets to keep any small papers or items from escaping the sides of the folders but the box is also set up for hanging files. The plastic is translucent so that a calendar or “title” shows through the box for labeling and quick identification among boxes. There are cheaper plastic file boxes but the differences in this one are worth the investment.
