Academic projects take up space. If you’ve ever walked into an elementary classroom the day after a painting project is due or in the middle of a science experiment presentation, you know how quickly storage space can disappear.  However, there are practical storage solutions that can safely store projects, media, and important documents.  Flat File Storage systems provide an optimal space to store artwork, media projects, blueprints, and maps while keeping classrooms, libraries, and archive rooms organized.  Here are three applications where flat file storage can help keep you organized.

Art is messy, and not just for creators like Jackson Pollock and Julia Child. From paint spatters to ink smears to handmade aioli, chaos is part of the creative process for most artists.
