Boy, are you guys lucky?  My orignal VAG service fiche are the same size as the 
parts fiche - as I say, around 7" x 9", give or take 1/2".  Each comes in a 
green or grey Audi soft plastic folder, with an indexing system in the front to 
track amendments.  The fiche themselves live in clear plastic pockets on the 
rear cover, with their titles down one edge and thus visible on the top when 
they're turned to fit into the folders.

I fond the parts fiche quite delicate - the service fiche are a lot more robust.
