FAQ
What is meant by vertical filing?
Vertical filing refers to a document storage system where files are stored upright in deep, pull-out drawers. The files stand vertically, allowing easy flipping through folders and saving floor space. Vertical filing cabinets are commonly used in offices where compact, high-capacity storage is needed.
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical filing?
The main difference is how documents are arranged:
- Vertical Filing: Files are stored upright in drawers, similar to books on a shelf. This method saves space and makes it easy to locate files quickly.
- Horizontal Filing: Files are stacked flat in piles, one on top of another. While suitable for large documents or artwork, it’s less efficient for everyday office use because accessing lower files can be time-consuming.
In short: vertical filing is more efficient and space-saving; horizontal filing is better for specialized or oversized documents.
What is the difference between lateral and vertical filing?
The difference comes down to orientation, space, and drawer layout:
- Vertical Filing Cabinets: Tall, narrow cabinets with deep drawers that store files front-to-back. Great for compact offices or personal workstations.
- Lateral Filing Cabinets: Wider, shorter cabinets with broad drawers that store files side-to-side (or sometimes front-to-back). Ideal for shared spaces and high-volume filing.
In short: vertical = tall and space-saving; lateral = wide and easier for high-capacity, shared file access.
