At the office, we have a coffee maker that is not automatic; you need to add the water and coffee grounds to make a fresh pot. It is not as easy as just pressing a button. After months of coming in to find people would not make a new pot of coffee after taking the last bit at 8:00am, I got a little frustrated and decided to make a sign.

Given the set up of the break room, I need away to post this sign where everyone could clearly see it, but that was more permanent than just paper and tape. Enter the adhesive pocket!

The self-adhesive business card holder isn’t a new product and is typically used for holding business cards. But can you think of another use for this vinyl pocket? How about as a flash drive holder in your planner, binders, or wherever you need quick access to this device.

In addition to our stock line of products, C-Line also has an entire custom order department. Yes, if there is something about a product, like a sheet protector, that you need made to your specific needs, we can help.

So for instance, say you need custom sheet protectors that are a special size, like 4 x 6 to accommodate a daily schedule book that your students use. You cannot find this size anywhere and you want to sell it in your school’s bookstore. Or, you want to sell a sheet protector that features a binding strip in the school’s colors with the school’s logo embossed on it, rather than that plain, white strip in our current products. What do you do?

Did you know about the vinyl envelope variety available at C-Line? We are well-known for sheet protectors, name badge holders and shop ticket holders, but also have a full line of reusable vinyl envelopes too! I have mentioned them before, in previous posts, but have never devoted an entire entry to these handy pouches.

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! (more…)

C-Line makes it easier to protect the 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!
