Collection folder
A container for objects worth collecting is called a collection folder . The origin is settled in the bookbinding and stationery .
use
Collection files are not only used today to store documents, booklets, magazines and journals using different dimensions and stapling mechanisms. In principle, they are suitable for anything that is not digitized. However, smaller data storage media (floppy disks, CD, DVD, USB sticks) can also be put into resealable pockets. The ring binder as well as the standing or file folder are to be seen as optical and functional models of the most common collection folders .
Manufacturing
Collection files are made from cardboard as well as from plastics, light metals and textiles. In rare cases, thin light wood is used for reinforcement. The back and front are often printed for a specific purpose and can be ordered in many places according to individual requirements.
distribution
In the 1960s, the "household" forerunners were the photo album and the record case . In the second half of the 1980s, the Marshall Cavendish publishing group experienced a veritable boom in collecting files with series publications such as Aero , Successful DIY , Cooking with Microwave , Photo Practice, etc. Ä. on. Sammelordner without Abheftfunktion or hanging device are so-called slipcase . They are preferred for the safekeeping of fine books, illustrated books, sound and film carriers.
Others
The acceptance of collective folders is not only due to successful marketing , but above all to the need for suitable structures for permanent storage. Local as well as corporate archiving efforts and the human passion for collecting cause the rest. Due to the corresponding graphic or typographical upgrading, some collection containers have already seen their value increase regardless of their content, especially in the area of comics .
