I used these to house architectural and engineering drawings on a variety
of substrates.  We had 12 of them in multiple sizes and found them very
serviceable. The only negative was shorter staff had a hard time pulling
contents from the back of the larger files without a step stool.

And it was especially difficult if we filled the pouches to capacity. so
instead, we purchased additional pouches and filled them less. It reduced
the overall storage capacity by about 10%, but it was worth it.

In all fairness, I must state that after I left the firm and started a
consulting business, I sold Ulrich Planfiles and other records protection
equipment and services. But I'm no longer brokering their products.
