Portable Storage Containers for a Home Office
There are quite a few portable storage containers on the market today and some are just not that great. They are flimsy and not sturdy enough to hold a ream of paper. I have a few choice picks that will help you with everything from organizing papers to a place to put your office supplies.
~The first product that I could not live without is a 14 pocket portfolio. With these you can use the 12 tabs included with them and sort things from receipts to your accounts that need to be paid. It holds 12 x12 papers and they come in different colors and can be taken anywhere. A lot of office stores carry these and they can also be found at Target or Walmart. They range in price from anywhere between ten and fifteen dollars they are well worth the price because of all the space they will save you. Got papers laying on the floor, all across your desk, or stuck in drawers get one of these it will get you out of that mess.
~Stacking portable file crates are another thing that is a must in the home office. Whoever created these things in my opinion was a genius! They are just like a filing cabinet except a lot less heavy and can hold the same amount of files as a regular metal one. They are stackable and that will help if you have more then just a few things to file. They also come in different colors and are priced anywhere from 19.00 on up to 24.00 dollars. They work with any regular hanging file folder and can support up to 40 pounds. The only drawback to these is that you can not lock them in anyway so more private and personal papers would go better in a locking file cabinet. You can find these at mass merchants and online.
~ The Mobile office product that you can find online at www.containerstore.com is a very innovative must have for the home office. If you are going to need to transport things for your business from work to home this product will help you a lot. It holds up to three files, has a place for your PDA and a slot for a laptop computer with up to a 15inch screen. There is nothing better then this product it is one of my absolute favorites. The best part about it is that it fastens to the car seat. It will cost about 29.99 a very handy and inexpensive way to transport the things you need most.
~Rolling storage containers that usually come with three drawers are a must have. They can hold anything from paper work to office supplies like pens and all those sticky notes and tabs you need these days. They range in price and color and but start at 14.99 for a three drawer combo. They are on wheels so it will make it easy to move if you need to. You can find these at Office max or even Walmart now. They are a big help when you are having to stack things on top of each other just to keep it in one place. I have two of them one on each side of my desk and they are a very valuable component to my home office.
~ The last thing that I cant live without in my home office is a three tier desk organizer. This product will allow you to have a place for the things you need right now. There are three shelves to it and they come in different colors the one that I have I ordered from Walmart and it was about 20.00 this thing is something very important to my office needs. I actually can find the papers I need right now instead of having them all over the place this is a very good bargain also. You can put anything in them from papers, put your keys and cell phone on the first shelf so you don’t loose them along with a couple of pens and a notepad just keeps everything in one place.
I hope that some of things will help you with your needs they sure have helped me to organize my home office. You can find all kinds of these products in different colors and shapes at many office supply stores. They will help you a great deal. Enjoy your organization!
