Lever arch files keep invoices, contracts, HR records and learner files in order, and offices and government departments often buy them by the carton. StationerySupplies.co.za is a free quote service. You fill in one form listing the files, binders, dividers and archive boxes you need, and independent local stationery suppliers quote you directly. We do not sell, stock or deliver anything ourselves, and there is no fee or obligation to accept a quote. Tell us the sizes, colours and quantities, and where to deliver.

Lever arch files sizes and spine widths

Most buyers need A4 lever arch files, which fit standard A4 paper. Foolscap files are slightly taller and are still used for legal, municipal and older records. Spine width sets the capacity:

  • 50 mm: slim files for smaller sets of documents
  • 70 mm or 75 mm: the standard office file, holding roughly 500 sheets
  • 80 mm: extra capacity for bulky records

Give the size and spine width on every line, because suppliers quote lever arch files sizes separately.

PVC or board files, binders and box files

PVC lever arch files have a plastic-coated cover that resists spills and wear, and come in many colours for colour-coding departments. Board files, covered in printed paper or cloth, are cheaper and suit archiving. Related items suppliers quote on include:

  • Ring binders: two or four rings for manuals and presentations
  • Box files: for loose papers that should not be punched
  • Dividers and index tabs: numbered, A–Z or coloured
  • File labels: spine labels; see our labels and stickers page

Archive boxes and storage boxes for lever arch files

When files are closed, many organisations move them into storage boxes for lever arch files, which hold several files and stack in a records room. Archive boxes for loose documents are also available, flat-packed in bundles. Records management rules for tax, HR and municipal files often require years of storage, so sturdy boxes are worth it. Add box quantities to the same request as your files.

When choosing boxes, check the internal size against your files, because a box made for 70 mm spines may not close over 80 mm files. Lids, hand holes and a printed panel for writing the contents and date make retrieval easier. Boxes stored in damp basements or warehouses last longer on shelving than on the floor.

Lever arch files price, VAT and delivery

The lever arch files price depends on cover material, spine width and quantity, with clear savings per carton. Compare quotes on the same specification and check whether they include 15% VAT and delivery. Files are bulky, so delivery minimums matter; combining files with A4 paper and other office stationery helps reach them. Government buyers may need a formal quotation for a purchase order, and schools should order before the January rush.

What to include in your request

  • Give size, spine width and cover material

Frequently asked questions

Does StationerySupplies.co.za sell lever arch files?
No. StationerySupplies.co.za is a free quote service and does not sell, stock or deliver files. We send your request to independent suppliers near you, who quote you directly with their own prices.
How many sheets does a lever arch file hold?
A standard 70 mm to 75 mm A4 lever arch file holds roughly 500 sheets of 80 gsm paper. A 50 mm file holds less, and an 80 mm file a little more.
Should I choose PVC or board files?
PVC files last longer and wipe clean, so they suit files that are handled every day. Board files cost less and work well for archives that are stored and rarely opened.
Can I order files in different colours?
Yes. Most suppliers stock PVC files in several colours. List the quantity of each colour so departments or years can be colour-coded, and suppliers will confirm what is in stock.
