Why Vertical Filing is easier than Flat Filing

In order to compare vertical vs flat filing we must consider the benefits and difficulties with each.

With flat files there is some level of organization. Each drawer can hold 100 to 200 large documents. Imagine needing to find one sheet of paper in a stack of 100 or 200 sheets of paper.  Such as maps, plans, drawings, plans, plats or posters.
