Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011

One sock here. A shoe there. Your child is yelling because they want to wear a certain sweater with a specific pair of jeans, but you can’t find it. The school bus will pull up in five minutes, and you’re still trying to find a notebook, pens, lunch and another shoe.

Sound familiar?

Open Top Bin Boxes are Perfect for Maximizing Shelf Space

In most cases, back to school time gets a little hectic. It also means the weather is changing. Fall and winter clothing needs to be pulled out and get ready to be worn.

Where do you store all the spring and summer clothes? How bout all those pairs of flip flops?

Corrugated bin boxes are a simple solution. Whether you choose open top, or stackable bin boxes in white corrugated cardboard, they’re easy to assemble. They’re ideal for maximizing shelf space while organizing all those spring and summer clothes.

Corrugated bin boxes are great for storing smaller objects like flip flops, pool toys, chalk, coloring books, crayons, jump rope, Barbie dolls, G.I. Joe figurines and so much more!

Stackable Corrugated Bin Boxes Make Storing Summer Clothes Easy

The write-on space on the front is perfect for labeling and identification. Mark what season the clothes are for, or which child the clothes belong to. Save time from searching through the box to find out what’s inside.

Back to school time can get super busy. Corrugated bin boxes help make the transition a little less chaotic and a lot more organized.

3 Great Post-Holiday Gift Wrap and Packaging Recycling Techniques

Monday, December 27th, 2010

Recycle your gift wrap, corrugated boxes and Christmas cards after the holiday season.

The holiday season isn’t usually an easy time to stay “green.” With all the gift wrap and corrugated boxes, bows, ribbons and tissue paper that go along with presents, after the holidays are over, you may feel a little wasteful. Luckily, there are ways to reuse gift wrap and corrugated boxes rather than just throwing them away with the rest of the garbage. Do your part to help the environment, follow these tips for recycling your holiday gift wrap and other items.

Gift Wrap: The easiest way to reduce waste when it comes to gift wrap is to reuse old wrapping paper. You can do this by shredding old gift wrap or tissue paper to create homemade packaging for gifts that are breakable and need to be shipped. You can also cut old gift wrap into smaller pieces to use as “To: and From:” tags for gifts next year.

Corrugated Boxes: There’s so much to do with leftover or used corrugated boxes, so it would be silly to put them in the trash with the other garbage after the holidays. Instead, store them away for next year, let your kids build a fort with them or use them to organize your hall closet. If you don’t have space to keep your boxes, drop them off at recycling bins around town or put them out on the curb with your recycling items for the city to pick up.

Christmas Cards: When Christmas is over and it’s time to take down the Christmas card display, don’t throw your cards away. Recycle your cards by putting them out with the recyclables or tear the cover art off old cards and send them out as postcards next year.

4 Ways to Organize Your Kids’ Belongings Using Bin Boxes

Monday, September 20th, 2010

Help your family stay organized with bin boxes.

When you have young kids it can be very difficult to keep your home clean and organized. Most kids tend to leave toys all over the living room, school papers and projects on the kitchen counter and clothes all over the floor of their room. However, there is a great way to organize the mess, with bin boxes. Here are 4 uses for bin boxes that busy moms will appreciate from pnj.com.

Keep the home clutter free. Assign a bin box to each family member and keep them on the main floor of your home. If you find small toys or other various items of clutter around the house, toss them into the assigned box. Assign a day of the week, like Sunday, when each family member must empty their bin and put the contents in their proper places.

Sort kids’ school papers and projects. We all love to keep our kids’ A+ papers and projects, but there just isn’t enough room to keep every single test your child has taken since age 5. If you find yourself buried in projects and papers, set up a bin box to serve as the middle man between the recycle bin and the keepsake box. After a period of time has passed and you’ve collected a stack of papers, take a few minutes to shuffle through them and since time has passed you’ll have an easier time deciding which papers to keep and which should be recycled.

Organize hand-me-downs. When you receive hand-me-downs from friends and family, sort them into bin boxes immediately. Only keep the pieces you know you child will wear and pass along the other items to someone else. If the items are for your child to grow into, sort them by size into bin boxes, label them and store them in your kid’s room.

Make a toy “jail.” Does you child have a problem remembering to pick up his/her toys? The toy jail is for you! Set up multiple bin boxes that will serve as the jail. When your child forgets to pick up his/her toys, they will go in the jail and stay for a week. Your child will quickly realize that he/she will be separated from their favorite toy if they don’t pick it up, and you’ll never see a toy laying around again.
