Paper weight

In a drawing office or design studio inevitably you'll spend time playing with paper. In an effort to make it more exciting I ran a little experiment by  making paper airplanes from the larger sheets and playing miniature Stanstead ... didn't work.

oops.

So instead I had a look at what options were available to manage paper in an office. Depending on how you use your paper there are many options to look at.

Vertical Plan Files
Large metal cabinets which work like a large lever-arch file. For A0 or A1 paper you stick self adhesive plan strips onto the drawings.

You can get up to 1000 drawings into a single cabinet and are ideal for archiving and large capacity storage. You can have them with an anti-tilt mechanism so they stand alone and they're also great for storing drawing in plan wallets.

Mobile Drawing Trolleys & Wall Racks

Planhorse make an excellent range of storage solutions for A0, A1, B1 and A2 CAD paper. Drawings are held in clamps with each clamp capable of holding up to 100 drawings. You can mix A0 and A1 drawings up on the same trolley because they all load from one end.

This type of system is ideal for site offices or project offices where its useful to group drawings into projects and have them quickly to hand. 

Plan Chests

For that hearty traditional feel there's always the Traditional wooden plan chest. A set of either 6, 9 or 12 drawers with a choice of wood finishes. Perfect for design / art studios they provide an in-keeping way to store A0 or A1 paper.

Constructed to withstand even the most care-free art students they'll stay together, looking good just as long as a metal plan chests.
