Storage Drawers & Sorters

Storage Drawers & Sorters

Keeping desks tidy and paperwork in order starts with choosing the right storage drawer or sorter for the job. This category spans desktop drawer units sized for A4 and A4+, stackable plastic storage drawers measured in litres for bulk items, and open paper or letter sorters for fast, visible filing. Match what you need to store first, such as documents, mail, stationery or mixed supplies. Then check capacity and footprint, and decide if you want a transparent plastic drawer for instant visibility or an opaque finish for a cleaner look.

Types of drawer units and sorters we stock

Here are the main options and where they work best.

• Desktop drawer units (A4/A4+): A compact drawer system with multiple shallow trays for documents, notebooks and small office items. Ideal on desks or shelves to keep daily essentials close.
• Stackable plastic storage drawers (litre-based): Modular towers built from removable boxes, such as 7 L, 43 L or 56 L, for bulk stationery, peripherals and mixed supplies. Add layers as your needs grow.
• Paper and letter sorters: Open shelves or slots that keep incoming mail, literature and project files in view. Best when quick access and visibility matter more than enclosed storage.
• Cardboard file storage: Lightweight and cost-effective for archiving or short-term filing. Easy to move and recycle when no longer needed.

Which option fits your task?

Materials, visibility and eco choices

Plastic units, including PS frames with steel on some paper sorter designs, are tough and easy to wipe clean. Clear finishes show contents at a glance, while coloured or grey and white options give a tidy, uniform look. Cardboard file storage is light and budget-friendly for archiving, and FSC-certified options support responsible sourcing. If sustainability is high on your list, use eco filters such as recycled plastics with Blue Angel to align purchases with office goals.

Quick measuring and fit check

Use these simple checks to make sure your choice works in your space.

• Measure the spot for width, depth and height, and compare with product dimensions. Leave room to pull out drawers or access slots comfortably.
• Match the format to what you store: A4 or A4+ drawer units for documents, litre-based plastic storage drawers for bulkier items and mixed supplies.
• Plan your configuration. If you may expand later, choose stackable units and a stable floor or shelf position.
• Decide on visibility. Pick a transparent plastic drawer for quick ID, or go for opaque finishes if you prefer a clutter-free look.
