My favourite organising tools #2 – flipfiles
What are flipfiles?
Handy clear plastic files, neatly bound in book format. Slim and light for easy handling, storage and carrying. Anti-static-allows quick insertion and withdrawal of documents. Will not lift ink from photocopies.
Outer-cover insert replaceable with users own title page.

Why I love them
- You can have lots of categories
- They take up very little space
- They come in 10-page, 20-page and 30-page
- They are perfect for the lazy organiser – no punching, you just slip the pages inside the plastic sleeves.
