Poster Storage Cabinet helps Audubon in their Mission

Poster Storage Cabinet gets “Green” light at Audubon Center

 

 

 

At first the Poster storage cabinet at the Jamestown Audubon was a blueprint cabinet. Including blueprints of the 3-story nature center building, including a nature store, live fish, reptiles and amphibians, solar panels, elevator, and all the electric, HVAC, offices and conference rooms. In addition, there is documentation of the over 600 acres of wetlands. Together with 5 miles of trails, bird blinds, and outbuildings.

As a result, of this need the Audubon chose the Ulrich Minifile to store these blueprints. Because the Minifile provided plenty of storage space. While also providing fire and water protection. Also, the large file folders provide plenty of organization and document protection. Finally, this blueprint cabinet is on heavy duty casters and easily rolls anywhere in the facility. Allowing the staff to keep the cabinet in a closet out of the way until needed.

When word got out to the Naturalists – they had found their Poster Storage Cabinet!

It’s tough to keep a good thing secret. When the naturalists found out about the available storage for large documents in the Ulrich Minifile they knew that this could be the poster storage cabinet they have been looking for.

In detail, in the video below, Katie Finch, naturalist and education coordinator explains how this cabinet aids them in their mission:

Another point is that the Audubon can store a variety of document size in this cabinet.  In the video Katie can easily find the poster she needs among a variety of different sized posters and signs.

Green in Manufacturing and Green in use

During the year, the Audubon Center offers a wide variety of events for people of all ages. Moreover, each of these events requires signs for everything from event parking to signs for each of the activities:

Before we had no central location to store the signs. In addition poor storage conditions caused damage to the signs. In brief, we needed to remake the signs for each event.

“Of course, the Minifile provides a central location for storage. Not to mention the folders organize the signs by event. Consequently, it takes only seconds to retrieve completed signs for each event. While the cabinet keeps the signs and posters in as good or better shape than when stored.” Says Jeff Tome, Senior Naturalist,

The Minifile Poster storage cabinet is used at Jamestown Audubon for blueprint storage, poster storage, and filing signs.

“In addition, the cabinet is so small and mobile; we can keep it tucked away in a storage closet when not in use.

Because the Ulrich Minifile has been a great organizational tool, it allows us to focus more time on our mission to connect people to the environment.”

Of course, we recommend you visit the Audubon center in Jamestown or find one in your area.

They are great places to explore nature with your family and friends.

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.”

Mary utilizes posters, bulletin boards, anchor charts and signs to provide a bright, organized and stimulating environment for her elementary and junior high learners. She uses these posters, bulletin boards and signs and changes them frequently to encourage her students to read books, research new concepts, and explore new ideas.

Poster and Bulletin Board storage in Ulrich Cadfile
Clymer School Library uses Cadfile for Bulletin Board Storage

Poster and Bulletin board storage became a problem for Mary. She wanted a way to protect the precious budget dollars she had invested in these items. A storage solution that would keep these items handy when she needed them and tucked neatly out of sight when she didn’t. – who wants to waste space on storage! But most of all Mary didn’t want to waste her valuable time searching for her poster, anchor charts and bulletin board items when they were needed.

She tried a traditional poster rack. However she felt that the whole experience had been a waste of both time and money. The poster rack did not protect her posters, anchor charts and bulletin board items. And the traditional rack took up a lot of space, was unattractive and worst it was difficult to organize these items and find them when needed.

ULRICH SOLVES BULLETIN BOARD STORAGE

Mary was very excited when she chose the Ulrich Cadfile as her poster and bulletin board storage solution. And it solved all of her concerns:

  • More time for Lesson Plans – Better Organization means time saved!
    • Organized – With 20 folders the cadfile provides organization unlike any cabinet on the market.
    • Time Saved – Easily find the item you need and easily refile.
  • Save Budget $$ – with Ulrich Cadfile your items are protected and like new for years. No need to re-buy due to damage.
  • Save floor space for your kids – at only 10 3/4″ deep this cabinet fits almost anywhere.
  • Easily update your room – casters make it easy to move the Cadfile. Whether you need a totally new space or just need to clean the carpet.
  • Store 1,000 documents or more – when storing 24″ x 36″ size there is space for 1,000 documents. If your posters are smaller you can store even more!
