Lever Arch / Box files.. Heavy duty

[LivinLOS]

Always puzzling the things which you can or cant find here.. Spent a couple of attempts and cant seem to locate these anywhere in town.

These.. The heavy duty type..

I can find 100s of plastic boxes and non standard sizes and garish colors..

I can find many many ring binders..

I eventually found a weak and crappy version of the above made of vinyl around cardboard, but put a bunch of stuff in it, and it is distorting, bending, clearly isnt stackable, and its just low quality junk.

Even better would be if they came with the correct multi pack stacking boxes. a la..

But I realize beggars cant be choosers.

Seems so simple, but none of the stationary or office supply type places I have been to have them, and the usual 'mai mee' type replies when I show pictures of what I want. Surely accountants, lawyers, other professionals that have to deal with document storage use them.. They must be somewhere.. Even the usual lazada searches dont bring anything thats good quality.

If anyones seen these, or has a suggestion of the biggest office supply places round town, would love to know.

Don't know about that particular item, but I'm having the best luck with office products from Office Mate in the ground floor at Festival Central. They can also order, handle returns, etc.

^^ Those are ring binders..

But thanks, I havent been there yet and will go look..

[LivinLOS]

Just as a boring update in case this gets searched out..

Thanks for recommending Office Mate in Central, clearly its a larger stationary place and realistically I can see why the expectation they would have them is there.. I had high hopes when arriving.

Sadly its another place that not only doesnt have them, but was entirely baffled by what they are even when shown images. 100s of types of ring binders, not a single box file.

As I said in the OP, its often baffling the things that are hard to find, why they are not in normal use (lawyers accountants etc).

Maybe Udomporn or Ratanapol

[LivinLOS]

I am ignorant to both of those names.. Where are they ??

Udomporn is the big stationery shop next to Irish Pub and Ratanapol is the big colonial looking stationery shop on Tapae Rd almost opposite BKK Bank

[LivinLOS]

Thanks, will try them soon.

Assume by Irish pub you mean UN Irish.

Hahaha yeah whatever. I knew the original founder of the Irish Pub - most definitely Irish!

I wasnt nit picking the nationality.. I mean as opposed to the O mallys or any others.

Yes I know. Always did wonder who added the United Nations though!!

Box Files, they look like something that might have been used 100 years ago. Are they some British thing?

[Bill97]

Muji has great A4 boxes.

[CMKiwi]

My bet would also be with Udomporn.... if they dont have them then you will probably have to try someplace in BKK.

I'm fairly confident in saying Office Mate stock is much more diverse than Udomporn which is an old style shop. Used to be the best, but things change...

I am also trying to find box files (as shown in the graphic at the top of this post) in Pattaya.  Tried Office Mate next to the old Home Works next to Big C on Sukhumvit. Plenty of ring binders but no box files.  Any ideas anybody?

[toadflax]

I too am looking for box files and have no success at any of the Pattaya  stationery stores. I'm hoping a friend in Bangkok can find a source. If so, I'll post a reply. Otherwise, it's look around Malaysia or fill up the luggage next trip to UK!
