Lever Arch Files are ideal for keeping your important documents in pristine condition and are ideal for use in the office, at home or for students.

While lever arch files might look like a distinctly 20 th Century creation, they were invented around 100 years earlier. The German engineer, Louis Leitz, was also a prodigious inventor. As a result, his offices and study were always cluttered with notes and paperwork. Because these documents were essential to him, he resolved to find a way to store them properly and coherently. In the 21 st Century, while the manufacturing processes may have changed, the design of a lever arch ring binder is pretty much the same as it’s always been. Today, the stiffness of the covers tends to be provided by a board, which can be made from recyclable materials. The covers and spine format can then be coated in a layer of paper, card, or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). When designing and implementing a storage system, there's little to beat a lever arch folder. With their book-like construction offering two covers and a spine, there's plenty of room for labelling. However, if your filing system doesn't require files being laid side by side, their covers can be written on or labelled just as easily. To add some style and substance to your filing system, the Avansas Colours Pastel Purple A4 Lever Arch File delivers on both counts. Made from sturdy cardboard and coated in durable cellophane, it provides your paperwork with all the protection you need. With a spine measuring 70mm in width, the Avansas Colours Pastel Purple A4 Lever Arch File has the capacity to house up to 480 sheets of A4 paper. Within our range of lever arch files there are a number of options available including card, polypropylene and heavy duty.
