Library Poster & Map Storage at Frewsburg Secondary School

Cadfile vertical flat file cabinet for library poster & map storage being used by Frewsburg

Why choose this vertical flat file for library poster & map storage

Frewsburg secondary school selected the Ulrich Cadfile for their library poster & map storage. First because the Cadfile is a high capacity map storage cabinet. In fact this cabinet can store 1,000 posters and maps in the smallest footprint available. Next this cabinet is less than 11 inches deep.  Also the cabinet easily rolls on it’s heavy duty casters. Allowing it to be stored anywhere in the library.

The Cadfile is a vertical flat file which uses a unique spring compression system, and heavy duty folders to protects the documents from damage. In addition this cabinet uses very little floor space for document storage. While this vertical flat file cabinet’s heavy duty folders provide great document protection and a convenient way to organize your library poster & map storage.

Preserving a Special Collection – library poster & map storage

One collection in Frewsburg’s library poster & map storage is Picturing America. Which includes 40 large high-quality, full color, reproductions of works of art.  This art spans several centuries and containing work created by American painters, sculptors, photographers and architects.

“Naturally, we are excited to have these beautiful and historic images available to our children, says Robin Trapani, Frewsburg’s Library Media Specialist. “We display these posters on a rotating basis. And the Ulrich Cadfile preserves and protects the posters while they are in storage. As a result children can enjoy these images for many, many years.”

Before we had several sections of flat file cabinets that we were using for this purpose. The flat file cabinets used to much valuable library space and were not very attractive. While Ulrich Cadfile cabinet is so small. Of course it fits well in our library.  And the cabinet will hold this collection plus many more. It is amazing that such a small cabinet can hold 1,000 documents.”

Town Manager recommends Ulrich Cadfile as their choice for Map File Cabinet in the Town of Manchester. Perfect for map storage, plan storage, drawing storage and even storage of aerial photographs
Patrick Gilbert, Town Manager

When walking into the Town of Manchester’s new and highly organized office space, you get a feeling of professionalism and efficiency. Meeting with Tina Cagle, Town Clerk and Patrick Gilbert, Town Manager you realize that looks are not deceiving. They strive every day to give their town the best services possible. This team uses the latest in technology including GIS and Digital Terrain Models to see their town’s past, present, and to make important decisions about their future.

Current Map File Cabinet Storage

One element of their office was not in keeping with this high standard of operating. It was their map storage. Town of Manchester had rolled their maps, and these rolled maps were stored in various places in the office. No Map File Cabinets.

We are really satisfied and I would recommend these Ulrich high capacity map file cabinets for anybody who is looking to solve a storage problem.

Patrick Gilbert, Town Manager

  • Document Protection
  • Space Saving
  • Made in the United States

The Ulrich Cadfile met all of our criteria,” says Tina.

Cadfile solves Map File Cabinet Storage Problem

Tina stated, “We have loaded all of the documents in one of our two Map File Cabinets, the folders help organize documents, and we can’t wait until we have completed the index cards to make it really easy to find any document when required. It was especially important to us to find a product that was made in the United States.”

Located in Jamestown, NY is the Jefferson Middle School. In fact this public school houses grade levels 5-8 with a student population of approximately 400. Altogether the library and its staff, provide a quiet haven for book-worms and those with a thirst for learning. Not to mention when that learning extends to outside of the classroom.

Asheville Government Office

Map Storage for Asheville NC

The large number of property and tax maps belonging to the government office in Asheville, NC demanded a sophisticated method for filing and organizing. The county office now utilizes a number of Ulrich Pinfiles, which effectively and efficiently manage the maps and their frequent usage.

The maps at this office are used by the general public, contractors and government workers; therefore, the filing system needed to be easy to use. With so many potential users, the ergonomics were an important consideration, as was the ability to access each individual map quickly. Space was limited and the county office hoped to find a system with the capacity to file all the maps in one room—- with space remaining for the large format copy machines and plotters.

Flat files were deemed too difficult for the users because the individual maps would be stacked in drawers containing close to 100 maps per drawer. Replacing a map pulled from the bottom of a drawer would be almost impossible. Furthermore, flat files would have cost more and there was simply not enough room to house this inefficient model. The county office chose the Ulrich Pinfile for the great benefits it affords.

  • Ease of use and ergonomics with all filing done at a comfortable height.
  • Great individual map access. Users only handle the map they want.
  • Space saving vertical design and attractive, modern styling for the office.
  • The highest quality construction with beautiful finish and durability.
