Sure, there are always the obvious uses for office products. Project folders are meant to hold your ongoing project information. Sheet protectors protect pages for presentations or reports. Expanding files store numerous types of information, and so on.

I find that the beauty of office products lies in their ability to be used in a variety of capacities. Beyond the obvious purpose of the product, there are underlying benefits that make them a valuable thing to have.

Take C-Line’s Self-Adhesive Vinyl Pockets, for example.

Before coming to work last week, I had the pleasure of dropping my little cousin off at school. He was very excited for me to see his new classroom and show me around.  Once I got into the school, I showed my ID, signed a sheet and we were on our way.

As I walked the halls, I was surprised that I was not given anything to show that I was an approved visitor in the school. Regardless of the type of environment, whether it is a large corporate setting or a small elementary school, I assumed that identifying guests in the building is a simple security measure that is generally taken.

C-Line has a line of products that would be able to help increase security at my cousin’s school, or any building, with easy-to-use name badges that have a special element making them unique.

For me, being organized is a tool that allows me to utilize my time better in order to be more productive. Instead of searching through my desk for information necessary to a project, everything typically has a specific place, which makes it more accessible.

This is especially important in helping me manage my graduate courses. This semester I am enrolled in three classes, which makes for a lot of information, projects and notes.

In the past, I have typically used poly portfolios to store all my documents for one particular class. However, keeping everything separate made it difficult to reference other classes or get reading done if I didn’t have every folder with me at all times.

I recently spent a long weekend on the sunny coast of Florida. Apart from relaxation, I wanted to soak up as much sun as possible. I became a regular at the pool and visited a couple beaches, so that I could accomplish this goal.

When preparing for the pool or beach, I would do the typical routine that many of us are accustom to. Grab your towel, double check for sun tan lotion and stock up the cooler. Unfortunately, by the time I was ready to go, I had way more things to carry then I could handle.

The one thing that became somewhat obsolete during the preparation was my bulky purse. All I really needed out of it was my ID and debit card, which could easily fit in another bag.

Thankfully, I had thought about this prior to my trip, and decided to check out the C-Line Products sample room to see if there was any solution to my dilemma.
