What are magazine holders?

Typically made from plastic or cardboard, magazine files as they're sometimes known; are a storage solution for newspapers, magazines, reports and more. They can be used as a standalone product or interconnected with other holders and keep their contents upright and visible for easy access when needed. Place on desks, in cupboards or on shelves, magazine holders offer neat and tidy storage for items that can be otherwise difficult to store.

Why buy magazine holders?

When storing catalogues, magazines, and other similar documents, it can be difficult to keep them upright and easily accessible, especially when a catalogue is large. Magazine holders provide a rigid and easy access storage space to help keep a tidy and efficient workspace.

When are magazine holders used?

These storage solutions will frequent office shelves and desks, and be used in schools, libraries and anywhere that requires a rigid storage solution.

Magazine holder types

Magazine holders are fairly similar in design, with an odd change in aesthetic here and there, including side cut-outs and decorative strips. The main difference is in the material they're made from...

• Cardboard magazine files   -   Fully recyclable and a good temporary option, cardboard files can be broken down and stored flat for reuse later on. They're not as strong as other materials, but they provide an eco-friendly option.

• Metal magazine files   -   Often made from wire mesh, metal magazine holders are strong and very modern in appearance. Their wire design allows for good contents visibility, and they can be matched with other office essentials, such as wire mesh office bins and desk tidies.

• Plastic magazine files   -   One of the most popular, plastic magazine files are strong and lightweight. They can often be clipped together for modular storage and are available in wider designs for an extremely sturdy option.

• Wooden magazine files   -   A newer addition to the world of magazine holders, the wood used is often sourced from bamboo and as a natural material is 100% biodegradable.

Considerations when choosing magazine holders

• Size - if you want to purchase several holders for a specific location, or even just the one for your desk, measure the space first to make sure the holder fits within your working area.

• Material - as discussed above, magazine files are available in a range of materials for you to choose.

• Colour - matching a magazine holder with branding or office décor is easy with the range of colours available. You can even paint the cardboard and wooden ones.
