Map holder SMLT Mape SMLT A4 Cardboard SEG-1(R) — A4 cardboard map holder

Map holder Mape SMLT A4 Cardboard SEG-1(R) is an A4-sized cardboard holder designed to store and transport flat maps and documents. It provides a rigid surface that protects sheets from bending and light wear while keeping documents organized. The lightweight construction makes it easy to carry for office use, fieldwork or archive storage and helps preserve the condition of maps during handling and transit.

Advantages

The cardboard construction offers structural stiffness to prevent creasing and edge damage to A4 sheets, while retaining low weight for convenient transport. Its A4 dimensions match standard paper formats to ensure a snug fit for single maps or small stacks of documents. The simple, plain design facilitates labeling and stacking in storage systems without adding bulk.

Suitable for

• Storing single A4 maps, plans or charts
• Transporting A4 documents between office and field sites
• Short-term archival storage and organization of flat paper materials
• Light handling where rigid protection is needed without plastic covers

Key specifications

• Format compatibility: A4 (210 × 297 mm)
• Material: rigid cardboard suitable for document protection
• Construction: single-panel holder designed to prevent bending
• Weight: lightweight for easy carrying and stacking
• Finish: plain surface for labeling and stacking

How to use

Insert a flat A4 map or document into the holder so that the sheet lies flush against the cardboard surface. For multiple sheets, align edges before placing them inside to maintain an even stack and to minimize movement. Close or cover if applicable and store the holder flat or upright in a filing rack; when transporting, place it in a bag or briefcase where it will remain flat to avoid pressure that could cause creases.

Usage recommendations

Use the holder for routine protection of maps and single-sheet documents rather than for long-term archival preservation of highly valuable or moisture-sensitive materials. For prolonged storage in humid environments, consider additional protective enclosures or acid-free archival materials. Label the outer surface to simplify retrieval and avoid overfilling to maintain the protective rigidity.
