What's Included

 

To fully set up your New Build Filing System, you’ll need 58 standard hanging file folders. Want them included? Shop the New Build Filing System & Folders, which comes with both a 25-pack and a 45-pack.

  • Inspection reports ready for builder walkthroughs
  • Closing documents and warranties in one place
  • Works with any letter-size file box
FAQs Show

Is this a good gift for someone building a house?

Yes. It's a practical gift from family or a realtor at groundbreaking or contract signing.

Do I need the Linen File Box?

No. Every Orderlee system works in any letter-size hanging file box or drawer. The Linen File Box is designed to hold the system beautifully, but it's optional.

Do the tabs come labeled?

Yes. Each system arrives with pre-labeled tabs and categories, so you're filling a system, not building one.

Can I add another system later?

Anytime. Every system uses the same folders and fits in the same box, so they grow together.

How It Works

Simple setup. Every stage, accounted for.

Add the plastic dividers to your hanging folders, place each pre-labeled tab behind its matching category, and file plans, bids, and selections as your build takes shape. The included instruction card maps out all 10 categories, so your paperwork stays as organized as your build schedule.

The Perfect Gift

The housewarming gift they'll actually use.

Perfect for new homeowners, renovations, new builds, housewarming gifts, and anyone ready to finally organize the details that keep a home running.

About the System

What is an Orderlee Filing System?

Orderlee is a pre-labeled filing system that gives every important document a designated home. Each system includes durable plastic dividers, pre-labeled plastic tabs, fillable information sheets, plastic file bags, and box labels. You don't have to invent categories or make labels — just file and go.

Which system is right for me?

Start with the part of life creating the most paper right now.

  • Essentials: the must-keep documents you'd grab in an emergency, like IDs, finances, insurance, medical, and taxes.
  • Home Information: warranties, manuals, repairs, maintenance records, and paint colors.
  • Child Memory: keepsakes from pregnancy through 18, organized by age or by grade.
  • Pregnancy: prenatal records, insurance, leave forms, and the birth plan.
  • Wedding: vendor contracts, receipts, the marriage license, and name change paperwork.
  • Pet: adoption papers, vet and vaccine records, insurance, and microchip info.
  • Renovation: bids, contracts, permits, selections, and receipts while the project is underway.
  • New Build: contracts, selections, change orders, inspections, and final approvals.

Not sure? Essentials is the foundation for every household, and it pairs with any other system.

Can I combine more than one system in the same box?

Yes. Systems are designed to work side by side, and several of our kits and duos pair two systems for exactly this reason. Depending on how much you file, two systems may need a second box or a larger drawer.

Will it work with the file box or drawer I already have?

Yes. Every system fits any standard letter-size hanging file box or file drawer and works with standard hanging file folders. Just make sure your folders have tab slots for the included plastic tabs (most standard folders do).

Is it only for paper, or can I store keepsakes too?

Both. The included plastic file bags hold small or loose items like photos, receipts, paint swatches, or a hospital bracelet, so they stay with the right category instead of floating loose in the box.

Kits, Duos, & Setup

What's the difference between a Filing System, a Filing Duo, and a Complete Filing Kit?
  • Filing System: the pre-labeled tabs, dividers, sheets, bags, and labels. No box or folders.
  • Filing System & Folders: one system plus the white hanging folders it needs. For anyone who already has a box or drawer.
  • Filing Duo: two systems that pair well together. No box or folders.
  • Complete Filing Kit: the whole setup in one order: the system (or two), our Linen File Box, and the white hanging folders it needs.

Every product's "What's Included" section lists exactly what arrives.

Does a filing system come with a file box or hanging folders?

No. A system on its own includes the tabs, dividers, sheets, bags, and labels, so you can use the box and folders you already own. Want the full Orderlee look? Choose a Complete Filing Kit, or add the Linen File Box and Hanging File Folders.

How many hanging folders do I need?

It depends on the system. Each system's product page lists the exact number of folders needed for a full setup. Kits and Filing System & Folders bundles already include the right number, so there's nothing to calculate.

Can I use my own hanging file folders?

Yes. Any standard letter-size hanging folder works, as long as it has slots for the plastic tabs. Our white Hanging File Folders come in packs of 25 or 45 if you want a clean, matching look.

What is the Linen File Box like?

It's a sturdy, linen-covered box with built-in rails for standard hanging folders, black hardware, and a flush-fit lid. It's designed to look like home decor, so it can live on a shelf instead of hidden in a closet.

What is the Child Memory Tab Expansion Pack, and do I need it?

It's optional. The Child Memory system gives each year its own place; the Tab Expansion Pack breaks each year into categories like artwork, school papers, medical, milestones, activities, letters, and special events. Most families start with the stage they're in now and store the tabs for later years until they need them. You can add it to any Child Memory product or the Pregnancy & Child Filing Duo.

Using It

How long does setup take?

Most people set up the structure in under an hour: slide the tabs onto the folders, add the dividers, and place the box labels. Filing your actual paperwork can happen all at once or a little at a time. The categories are already decided, so each document has an obvious place to go.

Do I have to fill every category right away?

No. Start with what you have on hand and add as papers come in. Unused tabs can stay stored until you need them, so you only set up folders for the categories you're actually filling.

What are the fillable information sheets for?

They capture details you'd otherwise have to hunt for, like account numbers, policy contacts, warranty dates, or milestones, in one place at the front of a category. Fill in what's useful to you and skip the rest.

Are the tabs and dividers durable?

Yes. Tabs and dividers are made of durable plastic, not paper or cardstock, so they hold up to years of pulling folders in and out.

Does Orderlee make a good gift?

Yes. It's a thoughtful gift for newlyweds, new homeowners, expecting parents, new pet owners, or anyone who has said "I need to get organized." A Complete Filing Kit is the easiest choice, since it arrives with everything needed to start filing on day one.

Shipping & Ordering

Where do you ship?

Orderlee products ship to addresses within the United States only.

Will a Complete Filing Kit arrive in one box?

Yes, all items in any system, duo, kit, or set will arrive in one box.

Can I return Orderlee products?

If there’s an issue with your order or you need to update your shipping address, please contact us at hello@the-dailee.com as soon as possible.
