    Default Manila file folders in the Netherlands (Europe)

    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).

    You might try searching on other keywords surrounding your question.

    Good luck.

    Default Supertab from Smead

    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 ? )

    Default Aspvik from Ikea

    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. 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.
