keeping inventory

[Former_Member]

I used to only make items to order due to lack of space but that's been solved and im now starting to build a good inventory which made me wonder how should it be stored? I make knit and crochet items and the small stuff fits in gallon zip locks but I'm not sure what to do with my bigger items. How do you all keep your inventory?

They make really big ziplock bags now that are great for storing yarn/knits.

Both yarn and ready made items go in plastic storage totes with lids. Works great.

Those are great ideas. Thanks. Where do you find the big ziplocks?

I buy large fancy boxes from Michael's and add label to identify the contents of each box. It sits neatly on my shelf. Also, I keep online photo albums corresponding to contents of each box. Once an item sells or I gift it, I add to my portfolio album.

Crystal, Target, Walmart, places like that have them.

Here's a large Ziploc bag: http://www.amazon.com/Ziploc-Double-Zipper-Large-5-Count/dp/B003U6A3C6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=139301...


And here are the storage totes I use for yarn (but not the 6 pack. lol): http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sterilite-Stacker-Box-7.5-gal-Gray/24488601


For ready made items I use a standard 18 gallon plastic tote like this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sterilite-18-Gallon-72-Quart-Storage-Box-Set-of-8/10401037

I keep all my items seperated in plastic storage tubs. Works great, stacks nice and neatly.
