Storing half size hard copies

Storing half size hard copies

Storing half size hard copies

(OP)
Good Morning,
Half size drawings (Typically 11x17 here) are pretty handy, but they just end up in one large stack.  Anyone have a good idea for storing these in such a way that you can get to them fast?

RE: Storing half size hard copies

We keep everything electronically, typically as PDF.

If you really like hard copies though, check out 11x17.com  They have a lot of cool 11x17 paraphernalia.

RE: Storing half size hard copies

I agree.  A lot of my clients prefer the PDF's so I seldom have reproduction expenses.  

I recently reviewed an elementary school and the architect provided me a copy of the entire set in PDF - to help communication since I am a contract plans examiner and the approved drawings are in another county.
