Manila file folders in the Netherlands (Europe)

[Senol]

Does anybody know if manila file folders are available in the Netherlands?
I can't find any

and indeed hanging files are pretty expensive.

Maybe ordering via Amazon.com?
Does anybody in Europe (pref: Netherlands) have any experience?

I have no idea if this is any help, but I remembered this thread (I think it was this one).

Hi,

It took me also a while to find them in the Netherlands. I use SMEAD supertab and they work perfect.


You can get them at

Have fun,

Bernard,

you do agree however that the price is nothing the same as in the USA.
$4 per 100
or €18 per 100

:-)


but thanks anyway for pointing me to discountoffice.nl
think I will try these. Now I only need to find a filing cabinet or a filing box.

(suggestion for a filing box Bernard ? :-) )

Hi Senol,

I use the Aspvik from Ikea
http://www.ikea.com/nl/nl/catalog/products/60114616

It is made for hanging folders, but if you just remove the bars then it is an excellent kabinet for storing your reference material.
I use the top drawer with hanging folders for my tickler files
the bottom two are for reference material.

Hi,

I use what they call 'binnenmappen'. You can get them here (http://www.vikingdirect.nl/catalog/catalogSku.do?pr=HH1&id=49510-AS). They are the closest to manilla folders I could find. I have bee using those for 5 years now.

I'm curious, what is used in other countries if not manila file folders? Is there some other common 'standard' thing? They're taken for granted here, in my eyes.

I was lucky that we have a good office supply lady at work who managed to find manila folders from our supplier...

I got many strange looks the day I carted a filing cabinet in to my office when I started with GTD (2 months ago), but that was nothing compared to their shock upon seeing my manila folders! haha :)

Manila folders are as common as apple pie where I come from, but Everybody uses hanging folders here in Norway.

I get mine from www.binders.no where they are called "vertikalmappe" A4 POS. 1 are the standard ones with the tab on the left, POS. 2 for middle tab, POS. 3 for right tab. They come in boxes of 100.

Hope this helps anyone else looking

In the UK we use manila folders - but it's taken me ages to source some tabbed ones
