Staple-free file Elba 23462 BL A4, 320 g/m², blue

Elba 23462 BL A4 staple-free file is a double fastener folder made from 320 g/m² board in blue, designed to store punched documents without the use of metal staples. The rigid board construction maintains shape and protects contents during handling, transport and short-term archiving. The folder fits A4 punched paper and keeps sheets organised using two integrated plastic prongs that securely hold documents in place while allowing easy addition or removal of pages.

Advantages

The 320 g/m² board offers a balance of strength and manageable weight, ensuring the folder resists bending while remaining easy to handle. The staple-free double fastener system secures punched documents without damaging paper or requiring metal consumables, which simplifies recycling and reduces the risk of rust or sharp edges. The blue colour provides clear visual identification in filing systems and presentations. The construction supports frequent opening and closing and helps preserve document order.

Suitable for

• Office filing and daily document organisation
• Presentations and meeting handouts
• Short- to medium-term archiving of punched documents
• Transporting papers between departments or off-site

Key specifications

• Format: A4-compatible for punched paper
• Material weight: 320 g/m² board
• Closure type: double fastener (staple-free) with integrated prongs
• Colour: blue
• Capacity: suitable for a moderate stack of punched sheets (dependent on paper thickness)

How to use

Open the folder and fold back the cover to access the double fastener mechanism. Thread punched sheets onto the fastener prongs, align the document stack, then fold the prongs down to lock papers in place. Close the cover to protect the documents. To add or remove pages, reverse the process by unfolding the prongs and sliding sheets on or off. Use the folder on a flat surface for easier page alignment and to avoid creasing.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use regularly punched A4 paper and avoid overfilling beyond the practical capacity indicated by the fastener length. Store folders upright on shelving to maintain shape, and keep them dry to preserve the board material. When preparing documents for long-term archiving, consider acid-free inserts or protective sleeves in addition to the folder.
