One of C-Line’s quiet heroes is the sorter. It is the type of product that rarely gets a mention, and yet it is one of our top items. Why you may ask? It is because it allows its users to organize something – their office, file cabinet, desk and more – with ease. And what better time to have a quick organization system in place than now, as we look to the end of the year.

Have you been to an event and worn a fancy, highly decorated name badge and thought to yourself, “That must have taken a long time to do”? Or have you wanted to make those for your own event, but didn’t know where to start? C-Line is one step ahead with their printer template gallery.

You may know that C-Line manufacturers office products, but did you know that many of the current products can be used in an industrial setting as well? Many of our products are made from heavyweight, durable polypropylene and vinyl meaning they will hold up in the toughest environment.

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.

To better organize for my meeting, I used the side loading sheet protector with a Velcro® flap as a binder pocket to hold all my materials in one place.

The other day, I had to prepare for an off-site, all-day meeting.  I needed to bring materials including reports, presentations, slides, etc. to this meeting, and knew that I would need to reference them frequently throughout the day. I was not liking the thought of either putting every sheet of paper into its own sheet protector and having to pull each one out as I needed it or, worse, having my papers just thrown about. I decided that I needed a quicker and neater solution – enter the Sheet Protector with a Velcro® Flap!

This particular sheet protector acts as an additional binder pocket to hold all your lengthy documents and more. With its top load and side load options, I was organized and ready for the day-long meetings in no time.

I kept my meeting materials in order and color coded with the side loading sheet protectors with Velcro® flaps.

Another benefit of these sheet protectors – the assorted colors. The different bright colors allowed me to easily find certain reference materials without having to hunt for a title or heading on a paper or report. I knew that red meant new product development and yellow was for promotional worksheets.

The system worked absolutely fabulously! And my meeting, that went brilliantly as well. And remember, sheet protectors are your friend!

A combination of different colored write-on project folders and the expanding file with a zipper are an excellent way to remain organized, whether traveling or in the office.

Just the other day, a friend sent me the above picture – displaying how he uses a combination of Write-on Project Folders and the Expanding File with Zipper to stay organized. His job requires that he travel about 80% of the time (I guess you would consider him a “road warrior”), so it is essential for him to remain organized at all times. And despite the fact that he may be driving hundreds of miles and meeting with four customers on a single day, by using this system, he manages to do just that.

Thanks for the photos, Don!

This past weekend, I was able to escape the cold weather of the Midwest for sunny California. And while packing, I was reminded of my favorite C-Line product for traveling and wanted to share it with you – poly zip bags!

Putting items in poly zip bags also allows me to begin packing ahead of time, saving a rush right before the taxi arrives.

The web is great, but sometimes it is just easier to look at an old-fashioned catalog when you are looking for something.  Well, C-Line has added a new e-catalog to the c-lineproducts.com website I would call a new-fashioned catalog.  This new C-Line catalog is a combination catalog, flash animation and pdf file maker, and it has some really neat features.

The state of the economy today is not pretty and not one we wished for, but we do have to deal with it. As businesses and organizations are beginning to cut back, they are also looking for bargain on items they are currently using.

Do you need name badge holders for the upcoming shareholder’s meeting, member convention or annual Board of Directors conference?  Instead of purchasing the badges in boxes of 50, which they typically are packaged in, think about purchasing the clip name badge holder in the 96 count box.  When you compare the prices,  the purchase of larger count box saves you over 8%.
