Interesting Ways to Use a Foldback clip

Foldback clips can be used in many interesting ways both at home and in the office: 

Close Up Toothpaste or even those unfinished bags of crisps

Obvious household uses for a binder clip: clipping things together. Keep your crisps closed with a binder clip. Toothpaste tube giving you trouble? Roll it up and stick the flat end in a binder clip. And when you run out of crisps and toothpaste, it can hold your shopping list on your cart, too, so you remember to buy more.

Neatly wrap or shorten cables

Fighting tangled cables can seem like a losing battle, but a few well-placed binder clips can do wonders for keeping everything neat and organized. Clip your cables together for storage, hang them on your desk, or even use them as a cable shortener for your headphones. If done right, you can avoid a lot of the tangles and knots that always seem to plague your cable collection.

Stack Beer/Bottles in your Fridge 

If you have limited space in your fridge, you can usually use your vertical space to fit more things in at once. One of the best ways to do that? Stick a foldback clip on the shelf. You'll be able to stack bottles and cans sideways without them sliding around, meaning you can fit more beverages into one corner of your fridge.

Famous Women Inventors: Bette Nesmith Graham #InternationlWomensDay2015

Liquid Paper / Correction Fluid 

Bette Nesmith Graham was not a very good typist. Still, the high school dropout worked her way through the secretarial pool to become the executive secretary for the chairman of the board of the Texas Bank and Trust. It was the 1950s, and the electric typewriter had just been introduced. Secretaries often found themselves retyping entire pages because of one tiny mistake, as the new model's carbon ribbon made it difficult to correct errors.

One day, Graham watched workers painting a holiday display on a bank window. She noticed that when they made mistakes, they simply added another layer of paint to cover them up, and she thought she could apply that idea to her typing blunders. Using her blender, Graham mixed up a water-based tempera paint with dye that matched her company's stationary. She took it to work and, using a fine watercolor brush, she was able to quickly correct her errors. Soon, the other secretaries were clamoring for the product, which Graham continued to produce in her kitchen. Graham was fired from her job for spending so much time distributing what she called "Mistake Out," but in her unemployment she was able to tweak her mixture, rename the product Liquid Paper and receive a patent in 1958. Even though typewriters have been replaced by computers in many offices, many people still have a bottle or two of that white correction fluid on hand.

 Lever Arch Files

Lever Arch Files are a great way of organising and filing away paperwork such as invoices, worksheets, receipts, reports and statements.

They are available in a variety of colours, so you can have a colour coded system in your office.

When choosing the right Lever Arch File, there are a few options and features to consider like:

1. §        What material? Polypropylene, Paper on board or laminated Board finish. 
2. §        Extra features? Metal shoes, this means the bottom of the files have a metal edge. This helps reinforce the file and protect from wear & tear, front cover locking device to hold file shut and also helps give it extra stability and stay upright even when the file is full.
3. §         Size & Capacity? A4 is the most popular size, Foolscap is slightly larger so it ensures the A4 paper is more protected (you need to make sure that foolscap will fit your shelving unit) Spine sizes and capacity? Standard - 75-80mm Mini - 50-52mm Jumbo - 85mm
