X-Ray File Storage

X-ray file storage has become important for architects and engineers who are embracing advanced photography techniques. One technique involves the conversion of negative space in overhead photos to place buildings and other elements in stark contrast. These X-ray photos have to be stored properly for future use during surveys, inspections and building completion.

Engineers and designers can use oversize file cabinets to store X-ray photos carefully. These cabinets provide adequate compartment sizes for dozens of folders filled with X-ray and regular photos. Building professionals should invest in indexing labels that describe the contents of each photo file.

Making Accommodations for X-Ray File Storage

The storage space used to hold X-ray files and other documents should meet strict climate criteria. X-ray files can be ruined if they are removed into storage spaces with high humidity, heat and light exposure. Firms should shift around cabinets and desks to make room in dark, dry rooms for photo storage.

Sensitive files are still at risk when stored in large cabinets sitting in cool archiving areas. These files should be removed with tongs, cotton gloves and other handling tools left on top of each cabinet. Archivists can slip X-ray photos, blueprints and other documents in vinyl protectors to add an extra layer of protection.

Tiger Supplies offers large and oversize document storage units that can hold X-ray photos. These units are produced by industry leaders like Safco and shipped from coast to coast in the United States.
