Product Information
Full details
The Janrax A4 Lever Arch File is ideal for students, office professionals, and home organizers who need a robust solution for archiving high volumes of A4 documents. Its primary benefit is a high-capacity 70mm arch mechanism that provides secure storage while protecting shelf surfaces through durable metal shoe reinforcement. While the file offers excellent organization, users should note that its rigid construction requires dedicated shelf space, as it does not fold flat when empty.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can this file hold foolscap size paper?
No, this file is specifically designed for A4 size paper.
How many sheets can it hold?
The 70mm capacity is generally sufficient for approximately 500 to 600 sheets of standard 80gsm A4 paper.
Are the labels replaceable?
Yes, the spine features a clear side pocket that allows you to insert and replace custom labels as your filing needs change.
What is the purpose of the metal shoes?
The metal shoes are found on the bottom of the file to prevent the cardboard from wearing down or scratching your shelf surface.
Is the folder waterproof?
The folder is made of durable materials, but it is not waterproof. Keep it away from liquids and high-humidity environments.
Troubleshooting
The lever mechanism feels stiff or hard to close.
Check to ensure the papers are properly aligned and not obstructing the ring closure point. Do not force the lever if there is a significant obstruction.
Spine label is difficult to remove.
Use a thin, flat object like a plastic ruler to gently slide under the edge of the label insert to nudge it out of the side pocket.
The file cover does not stay locked.
Ensure the ring mechanism is fully engaged and the cover slot is properly aligned with the metal peg on the spine.

Care Instructions:
- Keep the folder in a cool, dry place to prevent paper warping.
- Avoid overloading the file beyond its physical capacity, as this may strain the arch mechanism.
- Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior if it becomes dusty; avoid liquid cleaners that could soak into the cardboard material.
- Ensure the metal rings are fully closed before attempting to pull the file from a shelf to avoid snagging.
