Why the price moves
- Spine material - paper spine is the cheapest; reinforced and PE linen spines cost more and hold up to more handling.
- Clearview pocket - a file with a clear front pocket for a label or cover insert costs more than a plain spine.
- Size - foolscap files cost more than A4 for the same spine type, since they're a larger format.
- Single units versus a box - buying by the box lowers the per-unit cost but commits you to the full box quantity.
Which one do you need?
- Everyday filing on a tight budget: the $5.17 paper spine file does the job.
- Files that get pulled out and handled often: step up to the $7.59 reinforced spine for more durability.
- Files you want clearly labelled on the shelf: the $7.15 clearview option takes a printed or handwritten insert, or step up to the $14.08 half arch clearview for a larger cover.
- Restocking foolscap documents: the box of 10 foolscap files brings the per-unit cost to $7.08 if you'll use the full quantity.
