How do you organise your stock?

I do bags within bags with anti tarnish tabs.
Now I've got more stuff I store some things in their presentation box with tab.......inside a bag........inside a large Addis airtight box.

I've been using the P word tabs for the past few months and I'm not convinced. I also use larger strips which I cut up. Got those from www.thebeadshed.co.uk.

However, I do include one tab with every purchase...as well as a small square of polishing cloth...so people can make use of them with their other jewellery too...and people do like to get a 'freebie'!!

I can't find any on the Cooksons site.... Mine are made by 'intercept technology' and you can get info on them by googling 'anti tarnish strips' (or tabs). I have to admit to getting them from 'P..... M.....'

What a lovely idea, Bee, giving someone an antitarnish tab and piece of polishing cloth as a freebie! Now that's another good idea I shall use.

Thanks hun

Thanks for the ideas guys, it's got me thinking! Still not sure what I am quite going to do yet. Everything else I have is so meticulously organised, it drive me mad not being able to find a way I like for my stock, too.

Oh and re the anti tarnish tabs, I have been meaning to get some of those since forever, and I keep forgetting, so thanks for the reminder!

**kymbi** · 18-09-2009, 08:59 AM

oooh, thanks for reminding me that I bought some of these tabs ages ago from the supplier George recommended.....now stashed in that "safe place" but where the hell are they?????

I too give my customers an anti-tarnish tab from Emma with a ziploc bag and if they buy earrings, a selection of earnuts too. I put them in an envelope printed with 'complimentary accessory pack' - which is a bit grand really and must be a bit of a let down for them when they see what's in it. I want to find a cleaning cloth I can cut into small squares too as I've run out of those.

For my own storage I use the longer strips made by 3M - I got mine from Lakeland - can't find them on their site as their search is lousy. You can cut them up to use smaller tabs with individual pieces, but I use a full strip on a storage box. I'm assuming between the good seal on the box and the tabs something works, as I'm not experiencing a tarnish problem, which I did occasionally with bags.

I'll take some photos of my storage boxes later when I need to do some photos.
