Custom sorting and quick retrieval - Thanks to 19 concertina sections and supplied labels

Nineteen separated compartments expand to create discrete slots for different categories, and a plain sheet of index/tab labels is supplied for custom headings. The concertina layout keeps sections upright and visible when opened.

Robust, presentable storage - With rigid fibreboard and linen-textured coating
