iKandies Up Cycles Data Cartridge Storage Boxes

By day I am a network administrator for a small company. Up until a few months ago our critical computer systems were automatically backed up during the evening to an HP Ultrium data tape drive.  Recently, we replaced this system with a new process that no longer required data cartridges.  What to do with the cartridges and their plastic storage boxes?

While the tapes must be destroyed, I was hoping to find another use for the storage boxes. These boxes are approximately 4 1/4 inches square, made of a sturdy plastic and have a flip top.  While many jewelry packaging options are pretty, they are not always practical for shipping or transporting delicate jewelry items. So iKandies decided to put these boxes to use as packaging for our jewelry items.

We setup an account with Moo.com and created labels that featured pictures of many of our jewelry items.  These images, along with information about iKandies Unique Custom Jewelry, were combined to create a variety of labels that can be fixed to the top of the plastic storage boxes. Not only do we have something to decorate the boxes, but also another way to advertise our business.

To use the box we simply pop up the lid, place a tissue paper wrapped jewelry piece inside and click the lid closed.  Each jewelry piece is protected inside its cocoon, nestled in a cute, reusable plastic box!

Look for our new packaging the next time you order from iKandies Unique Custom Jewelry.
