Universal Business Card File

I turn Pens out of exotic woods and sell them at Arts & Crafts Fairs/Shows. For each kind of wood I use (29 different woods so far) I have a card printed with a little information about it. I also have a small card for each style of Pen that I make, 12 of them, telling how to change the refill and what refill it takes, and cleaning and caring for the pen. I give a card for the wood and one for the style of pen with every one that I sell. I have a few other items turned out of exotic woods that I sell and I give a card for the wood that its made of too.Having cards for 29 different woods and 12 different pens means that I have a lot of cards to keep track of. 10 of each one makes 410 cards! The cards are printed on a business card so a regular index card file box is too big. But this box is ideal for what I needed.The only things I don't like about this file box is it isn't made very well. First thing the lid fell off of it right out of the box. Once I got the lid back on its hinge pin I found that the lid is warped out of square and wont sit flat on the box. The front of the box is made to tip out to make it easier to see the front cards, and it fell off right after the lid did the first time out of the box. It took a bit but I got it to snap back into place where it was supposed to be. The main thing that I don't like about it is the lid doesn't open back far enough to stay open. When you open it with the lid all the way up and back, as long as you don't move or disturb it, it will stay up. But the slightest movement looking for a card and the lid slams shut on your fingers. It could also use something or some way to latch the lid closed. With this you have to be careful or you will dump all the cards out. This is why I only gave it 3 stars. If it had some way to latch the lid closed, and if the lid wasn't warped and sat flat like its supposed too, and would stay open when looking for a card, then I would give it 5 Stars.On the plus side it does look nice with the smoked tinted lid. Its big enough to hold several hundred cards but small enough that it doesn't take up much room on the small table next to my cash box. I had a book type holder with plastic sleeves with pockets to put the cards in. It looked nice but was a pain to get a card out of its pocket. This file box makes it quick and easy to find the card needed.Overall for the quality of its build and the materials that its made of its a little over priced. Add the cost of shipping and that makes it quite expensive for the low quality of its make. But for what I needed it for and what else is available, not much, it works for me.

Exactly what I needed. Sturdy enough for my purposes to refer to my business cards occasionally. Black plastic with clear simple lift-up cover. The lid will lift to a 90 degree angle and remain open until manually closed. Holds over 350 business cards. I put a removeable wooden block in the back of the cards to fill the extra unused space for now. (see picture) The cards will not fall over when the space is comfortably filled. When open, the front panel will tilt forward to improve view of cards. I glued a wood piece 3 1/2" X 1 1/8" X 1/4" inside front panel so cards will not catch on the front edge of the closing lid. (See pictures for this easy fix.) The alphabetical plastic dividers slide on 2 small metal rods on the interior bottom edges of the case. The case does not require more than 8 x 4 1/4 inches of table space. No wasted space with this clean design. Cards are organized and the cover keeps the dust out. Love it!

This business card case is perfect for storing and organizing business cards. It is relatively lightweight but very sturdy. As I researched which case to buy to suit my needs, I was surprised to find out that "Rolodex" brand cases have an awkward system in which you must punch 2 holes in each card and lace it onto metal tracks. I was afraid to lose vital info on the cards and also the added work of punching all my cards was the opposite of helpful & time-saving. With this organizational case, just alphabetize and dump in your cards. I have read the criticism that the lid doesn't stand up by itself when you open it all the way but I have not found that to be even the smallest consideration as I work with the case. And I definitely appreciate the dust protection the lid offers. My one criticism would be that I wish the lid latched closed and pressed the cards into place in some fashion so that one could toss the entire case into a briefcase for travel without worrying that the cards would come loose or fall out entirely. I will pad the inside with some tissues and rubberband the outside if I should need to travel with it sideways.

I really like that the A-Z cards are attached to two rails on the sides, so they won't come out. And they are of good, thick quality. The box is fine and the cover works fine. The cards lay in the box - no rails or holes in the cards needed. The box is called a business card file, and I should have taken that name seriously because my collection of cards includes a good number of Rolodex cards from a previous system, and they don't fit. So I had to spend some time trimming the cards down to 3 1/2 inches wide and re-writing those that couldn't be trimmed without losing data. My fault, but it kept me from giving a 5-point rating.

I spent several months unsuccessfully trying to find an ideal business card scanner. I bought and returned two, since both generated so many errors that I found myself spending more time retyping the scanned content than it would have taken me to type them in from scratch. Rather than reconciling myself to entombment by a landslide of small scraps of paper, I decided to collect all of my cards, alphabetize them by company, and put them into a storage device until I can find the time to scan them using "CamCard" on my iPhone. The Universal Business Card File (Plastic), while not perfect, does a great job of holding my cards in a way that I can easily access. I highly recommend it without reservations.
