broken image

Custom file folders are an indispensable tool for a lot of people. A folder can be a useful mask for documents, files, or brochures. You can also use them to protect documents that are archived. This type of customized file folders is widely used by lawyers, agents, doctors, recruiters, business people, as well as by professors or students.

Today, let us propose to prepare an inventory of your company file and even your data with the help of custom printed file folders.

The process is simple, although it takes its hours of work, especially at the beginning, since we have to enter the data of all the documents that make up our archive. Maintenance is usually more bearable, especially if we get used to doing it periodically and do not let too many papers accumulate. It is essential that the documents and records that we are going to inventory are well-sorted and classified; otherwise, the process will be slow, tedious, and even frustrating.

Benefits of having our archive inventoried:

Know quickly and at a glance, what documents we have and where they are stored. It is normal to have the documentation in several cabinets, drawers, and other more varied places (behind doors, under tables, etc.), which can sometimes make us doubt in what exact place we have the document we are looking for. Custom printed file folder helps in the processes of separating, filing, and evaluation of documented series.

How do we do it?

It is effortless. What we are going to do is create a database via filing documents in custom file folders.

  • Registration number: it is a question of putting a correlative number to each of your registers (1,2, 3…). It will help us to identify your records unequivocally and to control since it can help us detect duplicate files.
  • Typology: we will put what type of document it is: invoices, delivery notes, projects, files, etc.
  • Classification code: it is the numbering that corresponds to the classification table of our company. If we still do not have a classification chart, nothing happens, we do not put this field or leave it blank. 
  • Document Date: If it is a file, we put the date range, that is, the start date and the end date of the documents it contains.
  • Descriptive title of the document or documentary series: Something that is brief, and that helps us identify the record.
  • Location: where can we locate the document, in which office, closet, chest of drawers, etc.?
  • Signature: a correlative number that we put in each file folder where we store our documents.
