Quoted: Wondering if anyone is 3 hole punching their completed 4473's and storing them in a binder. Get the clear plastic sheet protectors that already have holes punched. |

How many 4473's you run in a year?
I put my bound books in the big 4" three ring binders, but would never use page protectors on 4473's too expensive and not needed. I'm hitting 2000 F4473's a year, putting them in binders would be a waste of binders and makes storage even more space consuming. I've filled one five drawer lateral file cabinet and have half of a drawer filled on cabinet #2. |

I do have a file cabinet at work, mayne I'll just male some space there. Probably easier. Thanks. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Get the clear plastic sheet protectors that already have holes punched. You must not have many 4473s... Get a plastic (banker style box) case like Sterilite that seals tight and put them in that. Depending on volume, put month/year separators. |

Plastic bankers box with folding lid, dividers by month. They are strong enough to stack 3-4 high. Costco has them pretty cheap.

I have two big three-ring binders. One binder keeps my FFL copies for dealers i work with directly split into Valid FFL's and Expired/Invalid FFL's. I also keep corporate documents (inside plastic protectors), my FFL license and some other key items.
In the second binder, I keep the 4473's (driver's license, other identity docs and the one-off FFL's if any to the transaction) organized into year using dividers. Everything except for my corporate docs gets a 3 hole-punch. When I spoke to the ATF, they e=are fine knowing that I was hole punching the 4473. when the ATF comes, I grab both binders and thus far have no issues. |

For some reason my eyeballs read 4473 but my brain translated thsat as F1 or F4. Sheet protectors for 4473s is overkill. I might just store them by month in manilla folders, and toss them in a bankers box. |

I punch mine. If I was a huge store I wouldn't be able to get away with it. I'm thinking about taking the oldest of my forms and just putting them in cold storage at this point
Everything associated with a particular transfer is attached to that transfer. The common repeat FFLs usually send a new copy of their paperwork with each transfer anyways, so I don't bother keeping their info in a separate reference file. |

I save certain size box that I get product delivered in. It’s just perfect to put in there 8.5x11 size papers.
Not only for 4473s I also use the same method for all other invoices, documents, copies etc of my other businesses. So Instead buying those bankers boxes (which are actually expensive btw) I recycle received shipment boxes. I organize them in bundles a certain way and then use one of those usps like envelope type mailers. Pretty much it’s a large pouch/envelope type thing. The material is not just simple paper it’s some sort of shipping/mailing material and holds up really well. |
