Organize Your Home

How much time do you spend every time you need to locate a spare battery or last year's office Christmas party decorations? Well if you are like most people, too much! SKS Bottle & Packaging, Inc.'s wide variety of containers that cater to your home organization needs can make organization a breeze. Whether it's your garage, kitchen, craft area or home office that needs organizing, SKS has the products to handle the job!

Wherever your organizing needs are focused,SKS Bottle & Packaging, Inc.has the products to get you organized.SKS carries numerous products to organize your garage and/or workshop. Metal pails and tins could be a stylish addition to any garage. These products come in all sizes to match any handyman's organizing needs from as little as a ¼ pint for the tins and up to as much as a gallon for the pails, advantageous for easy organizing. These metal containers could store loose items like nails or screws and paintbrushes or a set of wrenches. The round metal pails are equipped with a wide mouth and come with multi-friction lids to help keep out the elements. Some of the metal pails can be purchased in small quantities or can be bought in bulk to cover a large home project.

Plastic containers can also work well to organize the garage. Our jars and pails are typically made from PET or HDPE plastic and have slightly different appearances. PET is a clear, semi-flexible plastic that has a good moisture and sunlight barrier and remarkable resistance to impact. PET is similar to glass, but without the trouble of breakage. HDPE is another semi-flexible, translucent plastic that can tolerate a range of temperatures with an equally excellent resistance to impact moisture. Plastic jars typically run from 1/8 oz. up to 16 oz., which could be great for loose items such as drill bits, screws, nails, washers, and more.

The pails range in sizes from 4 oz. up to 5 gallon depending on the product line. You could possibly stack these pails on top of or under a workbench with ease. The larger pails could work for organizing the gardening tools, keeping the car wash essentials together or even bird food. The pails come with either solid lids or are also available with a Rieke spout that makes for easy dispensing. Also, the smooth sides make the containers an easy target for labels, to further help with your organizing.

Is preparing dinner becoming a hassle? Organizing your kitchen can help to bring some fun and convenience back to cooking at home. SKS has containers that can help to relieve some of your kitchen clutter and transform it into an organized environment for any level of chef to flourish, whether you are a minute-meal-mom or a five-star-father!

Our range of plastic containers can make countertops, cabinets and pantries seem like a filing cabinet with everything in order. These containers could be great for storing snacks like cookies or other items such as cereal or flour. Most of the plastic product lines come with a choice for caps or dispensers. There are grinders that could work well with peppercorns or maybe sea salts and PE sifter caps that could work well with spices from rosemary to tarragon.

Glass jars also have the benefit of providing an aesthetic appeal to any countertop or island. The jars could be filled with: hard candy, oils, noodles, beans… etc. The possibilities are endless. They range in sizes from 1 oz. up to 32 oz. With glass jars there are numerous choices for colored caps that make coordinating items simple.

Similar to glass jars, our metal tins can be used to organize your tea bags, dog bones, cough drops…etc. or to keep them looking classy in the matte metallic tins. With these tins there is the option to purchase lids that have a polystyrene clear top to allow for easy product viewing or a screw top lid if keeping the contents more secure is a concern. These tins range from as small as ½ oz. up to 16 oz., which allows for easy organizing by stacking on the counter or in the cupboard.

Whether your hobby is sewing, beading or knitting SKS's organizational containers can help to make any craft area seem like it has won a makeover. Glass and plastic jars can offer the benefit of visibility to the contained items, allowing for easy locating and access. These containers come in many sizes to help keep track of those hard to locate buttons or to keep all of your knitting needles in one place. There is also an assortment of dispensers, like the polypro sifter jars that could work well with glitter. Use these plastic jars with snap on sifters and screw caps to dispense your glitter without a big mess.

Our metal hinge top tins and slide top tins come in a convenient carrying size that can make great travel sewing kits or can meet your organizational needs right at home. These are only two of the multiple tin varieties that SKS offers with sizes ranging from ¼ oz. to 16 oz. With a smooth finish these tins are also easy to label. The deep-dish tins are available in silver or gold finish to go with any area ensemble.

Another area of your home that may need some organizing with containers is the office. Leaving the containers to tackle the small office supplies: tacks, rubber bands, staples... etc. should give you more time to do the taxes!

SKS's wide range of sizes for plastic and glass jars, from 1 oz. to 32 oz., makes for easy desktop access or could fit in most desk drawers or shelves. The natural properties of glass and plastic and its smooth sides allow for easy labeling and locating.

Our metal tins can organize your supplies and also decorate with little to no effort. The classic sleek look of these tins allows for your home office to be organized in style and can help to give your desk a professional look without the professional prices!

SKS's vinyl bags come complete with thickset stitching and a zippered closure that could help to keep products contained. The vinyl bag could allow for storage of pens, pencils, markers, post-its and more to help eliminate drawer, briefcase and desktop clutter. These could also be great to get the kids organizing their crayons and watercolors or could be a special addition for their book bags. These bags are available in a couple of sizes, with white or black trim and are offered in small or large quantities.

You may be surprised to discover that a little organization goes a long way. Whether it is the garage, kitchen, craft supplies or home office that needs some organization, we have the organizational containers to help. Let SKS's organizational containers be the solution to the clutter and chaos that is taking up so much of your space.

Packaging Tip

Choosing the Right
Container for You!

When choosing a container, the selection should fit the need. If you need a jar that should not break if dropped on the workbench your best bet is our plastic jars that are offered in a number of materials that have an excellent resistance to impact. If you need to store a large quantity of an item you may want to choose a product that can fulfill your needs, such as a plastic pail, which is available up to 5 gallons. This product line can be purchased anywhere from 15 – 24 per case depending on the exact product and span of your home project. If space is a factor, you may want to choose a product line that has variable sizes that can tolerate stacking atop one another for easy organizing. Another element to use as criteria when choosing a product is the material clarity. If it is essential to be able to view the product without removing the cap, you can choose from a glass or PET product for best results. As always SKS Bottle & Packaging, Inc. recommends that you test your product for compatibility with any of our products. We do not do any product testing and do not guarantee that any specific product can be used with any one of our products.
