Not sure how to describe these, we used them at another shop to hang exposed plates in the pressroom and I want to employ them at the current shop. They're hook-shaped and have a tab that hooks on to the place where it's punched. so they can all hang off a pair of hooks mounted to the wall.

Right now we're stacking plates and it's a mess, anybody seen/use these too?

This is close, there'd be another "tongue" piece on the front that bends out to grab the plate punch.

That's pretty cool, I use to be a platemaker back in the day, so I've seen various ways of putting plates in.

My favorite was at the paper, send the plates down the conveyor!

I could see someone here getting decapitated if we had plates hanging here.

It's been 20+ years, but I used to work at a place where we had like file cabinet hanging folders, but for plates. Two rails, open the folder, put the plate inside.
"There's been a lot of research recently on how hard it is to dislodge an impression once it's been implanted in someone's mind. (This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"
