File Folder Bag Insert

Category: Storage, file cabinet, filing, office

Product modification

Problem: I wanted to store a number of things in my file cabinet in addition to papers. My first attempt was to put some items in a ziplock bag, and put the zip lock bag in the folder. In addition to being somewhat expensive, the bag was difficult because of the opening to get things in and out easily.

Action: I cut the handles off a plastic grocery bag and inserted in the hanging file. Things remained contained. Initially I wrapped the top of the bag over the hanging file hooks so that the bag sides were all the way to the top of the hanging file folder, but after some trial and error, I abandoned that extra step.

Result: It works great!
