Rexel 330 Lateral Hanging Files with Tabs and Inserts, 30 mm base, 100 Percent Recycled Manilla, Green, Crystalfile Classic, Pack of 25, 3000109

They seem okay, a bit of a pfaff folding and putting them in the filing cabinet, but they hang well and plenty of room for a folder of papers. Bought for the office and no one is actually using them yet but they might do one day.

Good product and very good service.

Great

Twenty years ago, I remember my dad using a product which was very similar to these Rexel Crystalfiles, for storing invoices and other paperwork for his business. However, with the massive increase in the use of computers, I would have thought that the demand for products such as this must have massively reduced - certainly, my dad no longer uses filing cabinets and the majority of his records are now stored electronically. Having said that, whether there is or isn't demand for this product is somewhat irrelevant, given that this is a review of the Crystalfile itself and not of the market which it is aimed at.This particular product is a box of 25 Crystalfiles, with the dimensions of the usable part of the file being 32.5cm (width) by 27.0cm (height). Based on my recollection of these files, the particular dimensions of this product are reasonably standard and enable A4 sheets of paper to be stored in landscape format (but not portrait). However, I appreciate that there are many different dimensions of files and filing cabinets so you will need to check that the width of the files is not less than the width of your filing cabinet.The capacity of this particular product is also pretty decent and it is claimed that each file can store up to 300 pages. I suspect that this claim might be slightly optimistic, particularly if using paper which is 80g/sm or higher however, they will easily store 225-250 pages. It might sound like this volume of paper would be too heavy to be adequately supported by this file however, despite being made from cardboard, they are pretty robust and unless you are very rough with the files, they should last a reasonable length of time.Included with each product is a set of plastic tabs and paper inserts for clearly identifying the contents of each file. Unusually, the plastic tabs attach to the vertical side of the file, rather than the horizontal (top) side, making it slightly harder to scan your eye over each tab when skimming for the appropriate file.The final aspect which I would comment on is probably the one which has the most relevance for the majority of people and that is the price. The RRP of this product is stated as being £93.59, which works out at just under £4 per file. I appreciate that Amazon are currently selling the files at a significant discount but even so, I would still consider this to be an expensive (premium) product. Only you can decide if it is worth the cost!

I have been using my home as a home office since the lockdown and the amount of paperwork that I have accumulated is staggering. I recently purchased a filing cabinet to sort out the mess and these files were the perfect size for the cabinet so I decided to order them.This particular product is a box of 25 Crystalfiles, with the dimensions being 330mm (width) by 280mm (height). This is perfect for the A4 sized paper which is 99% of my paper work.The capacity of this particular product is really good and it is claimed that each file can store up to 300 pages but you have to be careful with the GSM value of the paper. I guess, you can expect to store anywhere between 250-300 pages depending on the GSM of the paper.I initially was a bit sceptical whether this cardboard files can hold the weight of 250-300 pages but they are pretty robust and I didnt see any issues with them in my few weeks with them till now.The files come with a set of plastic tabs and paper inserts for clearly identifying the contents of each file which is perfect for sorting and categorising the different files. This was most useful in sorting out the mess in my home office and indexing the paperwork correctly.Coming to the main issue with these files, i.e. the price (around £48 at the time of posting the review), which works out at over £2 per file. In terms of quality, I cant find much to fault with these and at this price and the larger capacity of these files, I think they are really good value to sort out all of your filing requirements. If you want the best quality files, I would definitely recommend this. 4 stars

Well made Classic filing system by Rexel. I preferred the Orange colour that looked different from traditional ones.I've got the pack of 50 Rexel Crystalfile classics, 15 mm Manilla, for hanging on rails 330 mm apart. Do look at different options available by Rexel, so you can choose what best suits your needs.The files are made from 100% recycled premium manila with contrasting Steel bars.Tabs on side and printable inserts are included in the package. These are useful for quick and easy access to frequently used files.The capacity for hanging files has a 15 mm V-base, which can store up to 150 A4 sheets with 80 gsm paper.The inserts are strong with a single push they snap into two hollow rounds on the files.Current price for a 50 pack is £88.75 that works around £1.77 per file.If you want to organise all your office and home files into one place, then this is the best option. If you don't already have a filing cabinet, there are different styles available on Amazon to choose from.Overall, the price is good for the quality you receive. I would definitely recommend this Rexel filing system.

Since lockdown our dining room has turned into a makeshift office so we needed a product to store papers away securely. This product contains 25 files. The files are certainly big enough to store away A4 documents in landscape, which was exactly what we needed. The product claims to be able to store 300 pages and whilst I haven’t tested that theory I cannot see why it wouldn’t be able to as it is a very sturdy product despite the cardboard material. Within the box you also get some paper inserts and the all important plastic tabs which makes filing a lot easier. The price is high I feel for this product however ideally you only want to buy it once so rather than spend a cheap amount of money and having to replace the files (and maybe lose some all important work documents) I feel the product is value for money as it is perfect for what you need.
