This past Friday was Take Your Dog to Work Day, but at C-Line, that is every day! Every weekday, Sir Lancelot joins the rest of the C-Line team. He even takes the time to write his own blog, including his uses and suggestions for C-Line products.
Did you know that heavyweight sheet protectors are great for organizing agility rules? If you subscribed to Lancelot’s blog, you would.
He is also kind enough to let us know when he spots a C-Line product while out and about, like when he noticed the use of Cleer Adheer® laminating film during the McCormick Dog Show earlier this year.
When not writing his blog about office products, Sir Lancelot lounges near his office. He has become one of the C-Line team. He is shown here with his C-Line Name Tent. |
Today is Recess at Work Day. Celebrate by putting down your sheet protectors, report cover and project folders, and picking up a jump rope, grabbing an ice cream cone or whatever you can think of to rediscover the enjoyment of your childhood.
That’s right, as a way to promote employee wellness and happiness, employers are setting aside time for employees to have a recess today. It can be anything from volunteering or community service to a walk in a nearby park. Anything to break up the normal routine of the workday. So, wherever you are, make sure to stop what you are doing for 30 minutes and enjoy a recess from work today.
And what is C-Line doing for Recess at Work Day? Well, we moved ours up a few weeks and combined it with our 60th anniversary celebration earlier this month! And yes, it was a blast!
Welcome to the newest series of blogs - My Favorite Product. Every month, you’ll find out the favorite products from the people who know them best, the C-Line employees. I know I’ve told you all about my favorite C-Line travel product, the newest “it” office accessory, or how sheet protectors with velcro® flaps are your best friend at meetings. But ever wonder what other people use their products for? Well, wonder no more….
The first person up is Judi Krumwiede, Vice President of Employee and Customer Relations. Unfortunately, she could not pick just one product, so she divided her two favorite items into categories - at the office and at home.

 Clip ‘N Go Report Covers were a great use for this report, as the color helped to call attention to the significance of the information contained inside. |
The other day, I needed to put together an impromptu status report on projects and events for C-Line’s 60th anniversary, which is Monday, June 1st! It was not a long report, just an overview of events we have done around the office - expenses, task completion dates, marketing plans through the end of the year, etc. And although the request was for quick overview, I still wanted it to look stylish for everyone. After all, this is a big event for the company, especially given the current economic climate. So, I looked no further that the Clip ‘n Go Report Cover.
Just how clean is your office? Do you regularly wipe down your desk, mouse, telephone? Use products specially formulated to help prevent the growth of stain causing bacteria? If not, can you imagine all the germs and bacteria crawling around on your desk right now? It is no wonder that studies have shown that the desktop is the germiest place in the office. I never gave the cleanliness of my desk much thought either, until I saw this video from Microban antimicrobial product protection that explains the benefits of products that use Microban protection, like antimicrobial protected sheet protectors. Did you see in the video how quickly bacteria can multiply? Yuck! But the video also shows how Microban protection helps to prevent the growth of stain causing bacteria, yeasts, molds, and fungi for the life of the product? Go Microban!

Tomorrow is National Scrapbooking Day 2009! For many of you, this is cause for celebration, so I wanted to send out some tips, tricks and advice for the big day.
 C-Line makes it easier to protectthe environment with their eco-friendly line of biodegradabl and recycled products. |
Amid the world’s growing concern for our planet’s preservation, C-Line has begun to develop office products that are eco-friendly.
For many years the company has included recycled sheet protectors and recycled project folders in their product line. Not only are these products made from recycled material, but are recyclable themselves.
Last year, C-Line became the first manufacturer to introduce biodegradable sheet protectors and biodegradable project folders to the industry. You may thinking, what exactly makes a plastic holder biodegradable? Well, biodegradable products must be “capable of decomposing under natural conditions”, according to the EPA. The products contain an additional additive that allows the item to breakdown when deposited in a landfill or the ground. Depending on environmental conditions, the sheet protectors and project folders fully degrade in two to five years.
The company has just introduced an eco-friendly name badge holder that is biodegradable, recyclable and compostable to complement the other C-Line environmentally-friendly office products. And as an added benefit, the biodegradable name badge holder does not require pins, string or lanyards. The top portion is notched in a special way, that allows the holder to slip over any shirt button and hang from there. Now, how is that for environmentally-friendly?
Happy Earth Day!
