Lever Arch File ESSELTE Essentials A4, 72 mm spine, yellow, 30% recycled PP foil

ESSELTE Essentials A4 lever arch file with a 72 mm spine is designed for organised filing and storage of office documents. The cover uses 30% pre-consumer recycled polypropylene (PP) foil with grey paper lining inside, and the folder is constructed from durable plastic. Its dimensions are 318 × 290 × 72 mm, and the mechanism is a standard lever arch type suitable for holding punched A4 sheets securely during storage or transport.

Advantages

The product combines a high-capacity spine with a simple, reliable lever mechanism and metal-reinforced edges to protect contents and maintain shape. A spine pocket for replaceable labels and a thumbhole enhance handling and identification on shelves. The use of 30% pre-consumer recycled PP foil and FSC-certified materials supports more sustainable office practices without changing core functionality.

How to use

Open the lever arch mechanism by lifting the lever, insert punched A4 sheets onto the rings, then close the lever until it locks to secure documents. Use the spine pocket to insert a descriptive label for quick identification. Handle the folder by the thumbhole when removing it from a shelf to minimise wear on the cover and edges. For transport, ensure the cover lock is engaged and documents are aligned before moving.

Usage recommendations

For best results, punch documents with standard two- or four-hole punches compatible with lever arch rings and avoid overfilling beyond the recommended capacity. Store flat or upright on shelves in dry conditions to preserve the PP cover and prevent deformation. Replace labels in the spine pocket for clear long-term organisation.
