Buying boxfiles outside the UK

[jpachl]

For years, real boxfiles were a typical British item. Almost impossible to buy them in Germany or other countries on the continent. Now, wellknown manufacturer Semikolon has started a new product line of boxfile style storage boxes that are also available in Continental Europe. I just discovered these items in a German department store. The most interesting sizes are a document box of 31.5 x 26 x 10 cm (art. No. 319) and a set of three boxes of 45.5 x 34 x 8.5 cm, 33 x 25 x 6.5 cm, and 26 x 18 x 5 cm (art. No. 35500). The quality looks perfect for use as a layout body,

The relevant items are at pages 22 and 27.

 

I will keep these boxes in mind for one of my next micro layouts
