Index Card File Box

Index card boxes for different card sizes

Index cards come in a range of different dimensions. Companies create index card boxes in various sizes for safe and convenient storage of each type of card. Small cards often measure 3 x 5 inches or 4 x 6 inches. There are larger options, including those that measure 5 x 8 inches and 6 x 9 inches. You can even use card stock that is 8.5 x 11 inches. By comparing different cards, you can find the options for your needs and choose file storage boxes to match.

Depth options for maximum storage with index card file boxes

Length and width are important measurements when choosing index card storage, but users should also consider the depth of the box. Small containers often hold about 300 cards, while much larger containers hold up to 1200 index cards. Small files are convenient for on-the-go storage for presentations and projects, while larger boxes are a convenient choice for at-home storage of important notes and contacts.

Index card organizer closure options

There are several closure options for these storage boxes. Flip-top boxes open quickly and easily for card display. They click shut for secure storage. Other containers have locking mechanisms that require intentional opening, a popular feature for cards containing sensitive information or irreplaceable data. Removable lids are a feature on some storage drawers.

Extra index card holder features

When people need specific cards, it's important to be able to locate them quickly. With the features added to some index card holders, users can organize notes to suit their storage needs.

• Built-in notches to prop up and display cards
• Alphabetical tabs for easy card sorting
• Label holders on the outside of each box
• Separate compartments

Each feature is suited to different uses and needs. Alphabetical file tabs work well for index cards holding contact information, while built-in notches offer an easy way for users to check notes during presentations or speeches.
