FAQs
Does this box come with index dividers?
No, the box is supplied as a standalone storage unit. Index dividers must be purchased separately.
Can I store A5 paper in this box?
No, A5 paper is typically too large for an 8x5 inch index box.
What is the material of the box?
It is made from durable, high-quality plastic.
Is the lid attached to the base?
The box is designed with a functional lid that provides easy access to the contents within.
How many cards can it hold?
The capacity depends on the thickness of the paper used, but it is designed to hold a substantial volume of standard index cards.
Troubleshooting
Cards feel loose or slide around inside the box.
Use more index cards to fill the capacity, or place a rigid spacer at the end of the file to keep the cards upright.
Surface of the plastic has become dusty or dull.
Gently clean the surface with a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water and mild soap, then buff dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the index box is straightforward; simply place your 8x5 inch cards inside the main compartment. If you are implementing a filing system, add your own index guides or alphabetical dividers first. Regarding compatibility, this box is strictly for 8x5 inch cards; smaller cards will slide around, and larger cards will not fit. To maintain the box, wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive chemicals or cleaners, as these may damage the plastic finish. Keep the box away from extreme heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent potential warping of the plastic material.
