Product Information
Full details
The 5 Star Office Box File (332845/FC) is an ideal document storage solution for office workers, students, and home organizers who need a robust way to manage large volumes of paperwork. Its primary benefit is a secure, heavy-duty construction that reliably holds over 500 sheets of paper, making it perfect for long-term archiving. A notable caveat is that its rigid board construction and foolscap size may occupy significant shelf space compared to slimmer plastic document wallets.

FAQs
Does this box file fit A4 paper?
Yes, it is designed for foolscap size, which is slightly larger than A4, meaning your A4 documents will fit comfortably with extra room.
How many sheets can this hold?
The file is designed to accommodate over 500 A4 sheets depending on the weight of the paper.
Is the box file made of plastic?
No, it is constructed from high-quality, durable board covered in paper.
What is the purpose of the ring pull?
The ring pull on the spine allows for easy retrieval of the file when stored on a bookshelf or in a cabinet.
Is this product environmentally friendly?
Yes, the product is FSC certified, meaning the materials are sourced from responsibly managed forests.
Can I use this for long-term storage?
Yes, its rigid construction and secure lid make it an excellent choice for long-term document archiving.
Troubleshooting
The press-button catch feels loose.
Ensure that the internal documents are not overstuffed beyond the 500-sheet capacity, as excessive pressure can prevent the lid from seating correctly.
The lock-spring does not stay down.
Check if the spring tension has been lost by manually adjusting the metal clip; if it continues to fail, ensure you are not overloading the file with thick card stock or bulky items.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your box file is straightforward: simply press the button on the front to lift the lid, place your documents inside, and depress the lock-spring until it rests firmly against the paper stack. These files are optimized for foolscap documents but are fully compatible with A4 paper. To maintain the integrity of your file, store it in a dry, climate-controlled environment to prevent moisture from warping the board. If the exterior gathers dust, wipe it down with a dry microfiber cloth; avoid using liquid cleaners, as the paper covering may absorb moisture and swell. Ensure the press-button catch is fully engaged before tilting the file to prevent the lid from popping open during transport.
