You may use them for presentations, large publications like annual reports, software programs or to back up data: CDs and DVDs are very important in your office. If you buy and use CDs in bulk, you’ve run into the problem of what to do with them once they’re burned with data. Those carousels with hundreds of CDs on them don’t even come with sleeves. In fact, some CD packages only protect the discs with a wrapper – if they don’t have an actual post in the middle, the discs can fall all over the place as soon as you open the package. Here’s your solution: when you order your next batch of discount office supplies, purchase a box of CD/DVD jewel cases. Jewel cases serve several functions: they keep your CDs and DVDs clean, prevent scratches and give you a convenient way to label and organize them. Discount jewel cases come 100 to a box, which saves you money – if you buy them in a store, you typically get 25 in a box.

When you use a CD, simply put it in a jewel case, label it and put it back in the box it came in. That will keep your used CDs orderly, let you know how many unused jewel cases or CD cases you have left so you know when to reorder, and give you a simple, neat way to stack boxes of complete CDs in a cabinet. Definitely buy jewel cases for your hundreds of CDs the next time you order discount office supplies.
