Lever arch file ESSELTE No.1 VIVIDA A5, PP with 30% pre-consumer recycled foil, 72mm spine, blue

The ESSELTE No.1 VIVIDA A5 lever arch file in blue is a polypropylene (PP) document binder designed for reliable storage and frequent use. With a 72 mm spine and internal depth suited to A5 documents, this lever arch file incorporates a patented No.1 mechanism engineered for consistent closing and long-term durability. The PP cover contains 30% pre-consumer recycled foil and the product carries FSC certification. One piece per pack with a three-year warranty on the mechanism.

Advantages

The No.1 mechanism provides outstanding locking force and precise closing even after extensive use, supporting up to 10,000 operations without loss of performance. The file maintains perfect alignment of pins and arches when fully loaded, and includes a replaceable spine pocket label for simple identification. Practical handling features such as a cover lock, thumbhole and protected metal edges reduce wear and make retrieval and transport easier. The PP cover with recycled content reduces the use of virgin plastic while keeping the surface durable and easy to clean.

How to use

Insert A5 documents onto the lever-arch pins and close the No.1 mechanism by pressing the lever until the locking force engages. Use the replaceable spine pocket label to mark contents and the thumbhole to pull the file from shelves. For transport, engage the cover lock to prevent accidental opening and carry by supporting the base to avoid stress on the mechanism. Do not overload beyond the recommended capacity to preserve alignment and mechanism performance.

Usage recommendations

Store the lever arch file upright on shelves to maintain shape and mechanism alignment. Keep the surface clean with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. For long-term archiving, use acid-free sleeves or folders inside the file to protect documents. Replace the spine label for clear identification when contents change.
