Storing school calculators - choose the best method for you

Storing school calculators - choose the best method for you



I'm often asked if I have a product for storing calculators in the quantities schools have.  

  • Considerations are:

     - How many to store

  • - Divisibility - Can you split the total up and take a number to different rooms conveniently

     - Ease of use - students should be able to put them back neatly without thinking

     - Cost

     - Visibility - Do you want to be able to see how many are put back, when viewed from across the room?

     - Portability - Can the whole lot be picked up and moved at once?

     - Security -  Can the whole lot NOT be picked up and moved at once?

come-here.co.nz does not sell these, but you can save money by buying them directly from the supplier with the ordering information given below.
