Organizing Expo Finds, Part 3

In our continuing series about cool stuff we saw at the NAPO conference, I wanted to talk this time about Unikeep binders. I love these! I saw them again at the expo, but have been a fan of theirs for a long time. (photo here from Unikeep's website)

The binders close up and snap shut to make a case, so that things cannot fall out of them when you carry them, and that also makes them STACKABLE! Regular 3-ring binders are very lopsided both trying to stack them and putting them on a shelf, so it's a real pleasure to see a bunch of these very neatly sitting in a row together without a problem. I like using these to hold computer disks and documentation, like when you buy a new computer. You can fit a lot of stuff into these and just not worry about it (even if you cheat and don't punch holes in the papers!).

I also have been meaning to write about the Vital Records PortaVault since I saw them February in Los Angeles at the 2008 NAPO LA Organizing Awards (click here for great YouTube video coverage of our red carpet event! I am in there around 4:50). The creator of the product, Sherie Dodsworth, made it because she saw a big need during Katrina-- people were seen standing on their roofs with their most important possessions. She thought it would be great to have one easily-carried bag with all of your important documents in it, ready to grab and go. It even has a shoulder strap!

I hope you've enjoyed our conference round-up!

I love these two... I use them in the car for the kids. Each one holds two coloring books and a handful of crayons!
