Numeric Color Code Labels
Use numbers to create a color coded filing system like straight numeric filing is the filing of numbered documents in a numerical sequence order starting from the first number and proceeding to the highest numbered file (last or most recent). Color coding a straight numeric file is somewhat dependent upon the total number of files or by using a terminal digit filing is the filing of all files ending in the same last two digits in one section, forming 100 distinct file groups (00 through 99) in any given file number situation. The use of terminal digit filing is usually seen in large file areas: hospitals, insurance companies, government, banking, etc. It speeds up retrieval time and reduces refile time by segregating files into groups of 00 through 99.
