If you prefer to store your 8.5″×11″ paper in a larger holder (like a 12x12 Paper Holder or an 8.5×11 Max unit), but find your sheets slip too far back and become hard to retrieve, the 8.5×11 Paper Spacers are the perfect fix. These spacers fill the rear of each slot to keep your paper front-and-center—visible, accessible, and ready for your next project.
Compatible with both horizontal and vertical paper layouts, these laser-cut birch plywood spacers require simple assembly and instantly transform your paper storage.

Key Features
Product: Paper Spacers for 8.5″×11″ paper slots.
Purpose: Fills the back of your paper holder slot so long-edge of paper is displayed at the front.
Compatibility: Fit with the 8.5×11 Max unit and 12x12 Paper Holder units used for 8.5×11 sheet storage. Orientation: Compatible with both horizontal and vertical storage setups.
I was debating between a 12x12 or 8.5x11 unit for my IKEA shelve, when I came across these spacers. They are the perfect solution to convert a 12x12 unit into one that can hold my 8.5x11 papers for now. This made the decision easy.. I was able to buy a 12x12 for now and convert it so in the future if I need more room for 12x12 I can easily switch. The spacers are well made and super easy to install.

Paper Spacers
I ordered these spacers for my 8 1/2x 11 Max to use for more 8 1/2 x 11 c/s to maximize the storage. I can remove them if I need to use the spaces for 12x12 later.

Very nice to turn 12x12 into smaller paper holder.

Paper spacers
I used wood glue to put these together. Fit in the storage unit nicely. I needed to remove one and it was a little difficult. Is there an easier way to remove one?
SNS Response: Yes, there is an easy way to remove the spacer. Just slide the divider out of the paper holder. If the spacer is on the divider that is glued in, then remove the divider above. Great question!

Dividers (Paper Spacers)
These are great. I put my 8.5 X 11 paper in a 12 X 12 slots and I struggle to remove a sheet of paper because they move to the back. Now they stay in place and are easy to remove. Great idea.
