Access Filing System

Across the print industry including techniques such as flexographic, offset and lithographic printing a wide range of in-house solutions were found for print plate storage.

This ranged from suspension files, folded pieces of cardboard and a sommelier’s style wine cellar arrangement of plan tubes. While these are examples of bodge solutions, problems of damage to the plates are substantial in cost, time spent locating plates is wasted and the rising cost of real estate means floor space is at a premium.

Access Filing’s T-glide system with specially made hanging job bags are designed with the print industry in mind. By adopting the system in full print customer has successfully eliminated damage to all dyes and plates decreasing waste across the board. The floorplan space saving from smarter storage created space enough for their new large format printer. The uniform colour coded storage system reduced time searching for and storing dyes and plates significantly. The time saved has increased efficiency of the team and helped remove some of the frustrations from an average working day.
