How can color coding and other types of filing supply make my office more efficient?

Color coding and other filing supply, like file dividers, will help you speed the retrieval of important records and documents.  

Color Coding:

A good color coding system will help offices greatly speed up retrieval times when pulling records.  When filed together on a shelf, the color labels will create rows of colors.  With a little practice, a user can find the file that they are looking for by simply following the color blocks to the appropriate file.  This eliminates the need for the time consuming tasks of reading text labels and thumbing through records.   

Color coding can also help eliminate mis-files.  A file placed in the wrong location will stick out like a sore thumb with a good color coding system.  Your color coding will create rows of colors.  If one color is different on a row, it will be very noticeable.
