Document Holder

A document holder is an ergonomic desk accessory that positions printed materials at an elevated angle near the computer monitor, reducing the neck strain and eye fatigue caused by repeatedly looking down at papers lying flat on the desk. For anyone who types from printed documents, references physical materials while working on screen, or reviews papers alongside digital content, a document holder eliminates the constant up-down head movement that causes cervical spine strain over hours of work. By placing the document at the same height and distance as the monitor, the eyes can shift horizontally between screen and paper with minimal head movement. Document holders come in designs ranging from simple easel-style stands to sophisticated adjustable arms that position a document between or beside dual monitors. The key feature is the ability to hold documents securely at an angle and height that matches the user's monitor position. Some models include line guides or highlighting bars that help the user track their position on the page, particularly useful for data entry from printed tables or manuscript editing. For home office workers who print reference materials or review physical documents regularly, a document holder provides immediate ergonomic relief that is often felt within the first day of use.
