Hi! I’d like to get some standard supplies in bulk which we seem to go through quite a lot.
It should save money over time, and I’d be happy to put some of my own towards these items.
Here is what I have thought up so far. Feel free to add to the list.
Green masking tape,
Blue Masking tape,
Smaller and larger clear containers for more space-optimized storage of items on the shelves,
Sharpies,
Gaffer tape (in many colours) for colour-coding items and their intended storage place.
As a comment to the Gaffer tape - during our cleanup leading to the culture crawl, I colour-coded the two shelves with screwdrivers, and I am happy to report things are still in perfect order. I believe colour coding is super effective, and we can help keep things in their intended spots with more colours and clear symbols. Worst case, resorting and restoring will be a breeze compared to now, where it’s a mystery where things came from.
I actually was just at Allword packing supplies just around the corner from the hackspace and they also have bulk green painters tape in multiple sizes!
I ended up purchasing some green tape (it was on sale on amazon). I’ll be donating three roles for the space. I’m still researching the verried sized s/m/l containers.
So I found a selection of Gaffer tape on aliexpress ,in all sorts of colours and its a dollar a role 0.6" by 16.5 ft
I grabbed 21 roles in 7 colours for 25$ should be enough length to wrap approx 1000 tools
I’m oddly excited and looking forward to this wrapping event.
