Files / Paper Holders / Trays
Display Books

Buying guide
Display books are bound folders of clear plastic pockets. They keep documents readable and protected without punching the papers. The group lists books with 20 holders in A5, B5, A4, B4 and A3, and multi-punched refill pockets in the same sizes, ten to a packet.
On board they hold the papers that are consulted but must not get dirty or lost: certificates, plans and checklists, posted instructions, port papers and ship’s particulars. The master or the chief officer orders them with the stationery requisition.
How to specify it
Give the paper size and say whether you want books or refills. Refills are punched for a display book of the same size, so match the book already in use.
Watch the B sizes. The catalogue’s B5 and B4 are the Japanese (JIS) B series, which is not the same as ISO B. JIS B5 is 182 × 257 mm against ISO B5 at 176 × 250 mm, and JIS B4 is 257 × 364 mm against ISO B4 at 250 × 353 mm. A JIS B4 sheet will not slide into an ISO B4 pocket. A sizes are the same everywhere: A5 148 × 210, A4 210 × 297 and A3 297 × 420 mm.[1]
Questions buyers ask
- Is B4 the same size everywhere?
- No. JIS B4 is 257 × 364 mm and ISO B4 is 250 × 353 mm. JIS B sheets have 1.5 times the area of the matching A size, while ISO B uses a factor of √2. Both series are common in Japan, Taiwan and China.
- Can I add pockets to a display book?
- The group lists refill pockets, multi-punched, ten per packet, for A5, B5, A4, B4 and A3 books. Order the size of the book you have.
