Sandwich Baggies

Problem

You need a cheap form of replacement packaging.

Context

If you're dealing with small objects like rubberbands, paperclips, or various medicine cabinet products, and you'd rather not keep them in the original branded packaging.

Forces

Sandwich baggies make good packaging, because they are transparent.  Letting the product speak for itself is always a step in the right direction.

You probably shouldn't store products that are sharp in sandwich baggies, since the bags are not that sturdy.

Solution

Remove the product from the original packaging, and place it in the sandwich baggies.  Use multiple baggies if neccessary.  Store the bags where you would expect to find the product.

This is one of those no-brainers that make the "pattern" approach rather suspect...

Methods Used

Sandwich baggies are used almost exclusively with repackaging products, but that's not to say someone else will not come up with more ideas...

Skills Needed

Enough common sense to keep the baggies away from unripe people who may not know better than to put plastic bags over their heads.

Acquisition

Any supermarket should carry sandwich baggies.  Eventually I will get around to also mentioning that you should be supporting your independent neighborhood markets, but I don't want to get ahead of myself.
