I think it\u2019s my curiosity, but I really look forward to seeing what products are being offered.\u00a0 The NAPO conference expo is a great place to discover new products.\u00a0 It\u2019s a convenient way to learn about the variations that can be hard to be aware of without doing research \u2013 like with my recent post about Hanging Folders<\/a>.\u00a0 And it\u2019s already been another year and last week was our 2013 NAPO conference.\u00a0 Here are 4 products that I found interesting \u2013 though stay tuned to see more details about their actual performance.<\/p>\n

1. Staples Better Binder with Removable FileRings <\/a><\/p>\n

These are reinforced 3 ring binders that have pull-tabs to remove it from the binder.\u00a0 Once it has been removed from the binder, you can hang the 3-ring part in a filing cabinet.\u00a0 It even comes with a label on the back of the 3-rings for labeling.\u00a0 Other interesting aspects are that with the binder itself there is a convenient way to label the spine and for a page to be inserted on the front of the binder without traditional challenges.\u00a0 Also, the pockets that are included in binders with this particular one appear to be much more user friendly.<\/p>\n

2. Ampad Versa Crossover Notebook<\/a> (from Pendaflex)<\/p>\n

This is quite similar to the Arc Notebook from Staples that I reviewed from last year\u2019s NAPO conference.\u00a0 I\u2019m intrigued with the smaller page dividers and looking into other features this specific notebook offers.<\/p>\n

3. Erasable Hanging Folder Tabs, Hanging Folders, and File Folders<\/a> (from Smead)<\/p>\n

These have a surface that allows you to use a white eraser to remove your prior label and then re-label them.\u00a0 The first thing I did when I saw these was to try to use my finger to smudge or erase the words \u2013 it had no impact.\u00a0 If you like to hand-write your labels, this could be a great way to keep your files and hanging folders useful for much longer.<\/p>\n

4. Ampad Shot Note<\/a><\/p>\n

This is something that received a fair amount of attention from all the organizer\u2019s attending the expo.\u00a0 It\u2019s a system for taking your notes and drawings from handwriting to handheld.\u00a0 There is special paper with four corners that connect with their app and converts it into digital files for you.\u00a0 I joked with the guy that you could avoid using their paper up by placing papers on top so that the 4 corners were still visible \u2013 as this is the most critical part for their system.<\/p>\n

There were other products that were introduced which I might briefly share later.\u00a0 These were the ones that I found to be the most different that could also offer more features for the users.\u00a0 I\u2019m intrigued with these and look forward to using them \u2013 seeing if I find more aspects to them as I implement using them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
