Default storing transfers at a outdoor event

I go to events all of the time and I do heat pressing there so I do not miss a sale if they want it on the back. sizes, etc. I use four wire 2 x 8 grids to kind of fence me in so safety is not compromised. My problem is I dont know how to store the transfers in a convenient way. I have them in plastic file cartons and office folders, each labled in alphabetical order. the problem is I am constantly going under the heat press to find them . I would like to store them on the grids beside me so i dont have to dig thru them but I dont know how. I have mens and womens with a total of about 50 different styles. anyone know how to do it?

Default Re: storing transfers at a outdoor event

I have SIX plastic file containers for all our transfers (over 8,000) ~~ !! We stack them on a 4x2 adjustable table (which we rachet down) at the lowest setting so it becomes a 'counter' between us and our customers.

We do dog shows and each breed has a 3-hole wire folder with a sheet protector for each design. Since 98% of our sales are made 'on demand' ... we are in our files all the time. The file containers protect the transfers from being excessively exposed to the elements.

This has always been a problem for us and we usually only have around 1000 to deal with. When its rolling things are flying all around especially if its windy. Try getting a transfer to line up under windy conditions.
