Refer to highly used information quickly and efficiently while keeping your reference material protected by utilizing catalog racks or reference racks.  A “Starter Set” is a great way to begin.  The pages are color-coded, wire reinforced display pockets with a snap-on index tabs hold letter size sheets with two viewing sides per pocket.  The starter sets can be purchased to mount on the wall or for your desktop.  Variations of catalog racks include an optional swing arm with table clamp, allows display pockets to be accessible yet off the work surface.  The Sherpa Motion System is  ideal for public information areas and shared information as this system rotates 360 degrees and tilt adjusts between 25 degrees and 70 degrees.  Keeping your public information accessible yet professionally displayed has never been easier.  Work smarter!

Tilt storage bins are great for small, hard to find items.  No more digging into drawers, no more misplaced items, no more forgetting items purchased.  One quick glance and they are calling your name.  Mix and match different sizes; units stack and connect together to form custom storage systems.  The transparent bins tilt out and remain open while in use.  Wall mounted or can be  used on counter tops.  Identification labels are included.  Metal partition brackets can be purchased separately enabling the tilt bins to be hung over partition walls.  A great addition for any office or school.  Let’s get organized!!

We all have our favorite pen, but when writing a check you might want to think twice on what pen you use.  With identity theft on the rise, everyone is very cautious with personal information and credit card numbers - but what about your checks?  Many pens are made with water based ink making it easy for thieves to “wash” checks.  The Uni-ball 207 Pen uses a special pigmented gel ink that is trapped in paper making your checks and documents resistant to check-washing.  The Uni-ball 207 Pen is the only pen endorsed by Frank W. Abagnale, a world renowned identity theft expert. This pen is available in a variety of colors, styles, point sizes and can be purchased individually or in packs to meet every one’s writing comfort.

Yes, you heard (or read correctly) - Corn Cups!!  Corn Plastic cups are made from PLA Plastic and PLA plastic is made from corn.  The Corn Plastic Cups or PLA Plastic look and feel like the traditional plastic cup but are 100% Earth Friendly.  Made from US Corn, PLA plastic is fully compostable and biodegradable.  PLA Plastic will composite in approximately 30 to 45 days in a commercial compost but may take a bit longer in home composting bin. PLA plastic is becoming competitively priced with Petroleum (PET) plastic and in some instances is actually less expensive.  Buying PLA plastic puts your money back into the US economy instead of overseas oil companies.

Many Easel or Flip Chart Pads no longer need an easel stand. There are a variety of pads that come with a wide peel-away adhesive strip to hold them firmly on most dry walls.  No tacks or tape so there is no damage to your walls.  From Tabletop Easels to the Cubicle Pad which mount directly to most fabric cubicle walls using fabric mounting grips or command adhesive strips, there is a easel pad just right for you.  One of the most popular Easel Pads is the Write-On Cling On Easel Pad.  These poly sheets cling to the wall and to each other and on most dry surfaces by static - nothing else is needed to keep this sheet in place.  Use dry erase markers to re-use the sheet or permanent markers to save your sheets for later use.  This by far is the biggest money saver of them all.  

Vertical File Cabinets are the most economical filing cabinet.  They require minimal floor space and are the best for long term filing.  When shopping for a vertical file cabinet you need to determine the type of draw suspension you will need.  The amount of weight and the number of times the drawer will be opened and closed will determine the suspension needed.  There are three different suspension types - Non-suspension, Slide Suspension, and Full Suspension.   Vertical files with Non-suspension drawers are suitable for home and student use.  Slide Suspension drawers are for light duty use.  The Non-suspension and Slide Suspension are not recommended for commercial use.  Vertical File Cabinets with Full Suspension are designed for commercial use.  The Full Suspension drawer distributes the contents weight evenly and opens all the way providing access to the entire drawer. The Full Suspension drawer is available in two diffent features - Nylon Roller and Ball Bearing Rollers.  The  Nylon Roller Suspension has long lasting nylon rollers which allows the drawer to open in a quiet, fluid motion.  Most of your commercial Vertical File Full Suspension Cabinets use Nylon Roller suspension.  The best of the best is the Ball Bearing Roller.  The Ball Bearing Suspension is constructed of heavy gauge steel and the drawer channels roll along high quality steel ball bearings.  This type of suspension is designed for heavy duty use and is used on premium vertical files and most lateral file cabinets. 

We’ve talked about copy holders relieving neck, shoulder and eye strain but what about back pain at work?  Many of us sit incorrectly at our desks putting strain on our lower back.  It is important to sit back in the seat so your lower back is supported by your chair and your thighs should be parallel to the floor.  A Footrest encourages proper sitting posture, increases circulation in the legs and prevents pull to the lower back.  Once you sit at your desk and place your feet on the footrest you will feel immediate comfort and wonder how you’ve worked so long without it.  There are a variety of footrests available including a footrest that also warms your feet.  The McGill Deluxe Personal Warmer is a footrest and warmer in one.  The Deluxe Personal Warmer/Footrest tilts and has two heat settings.  Put your feet up, take the chill off and have a comfortable day at work.
