imhim Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I need a couple of these, bought the $2 at Walmart, and did not findmuchbetter at Office Max. Which ones do you use, and can you buy them online? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrightmom Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I love Really Useful Boxes sold by Office Depot. They come in a gazillion sizes and a few different colors. They are WONDERFUL. I haven't looked at 3x5 card size specifically and I don't know if they have that. Here's one size that is close and may work just fine . . . [email=http://www.officedepot.com/catalog/search.do?Ntt=really+useful+boxes&No=24&N=5&recordsPerPageNumber=12&Ntk=all&Ntx=mode+matchpartialmax&Nty=1]http://www.officedepot.com/catalog/search.do?Ntt=really+useful+boxes&No=24&N=5&recordsPerPageNumber=12&Ntk=all&Ntx=mode+matchpartialmax&Nty=1[/email] That is a ridiculous link -- sorry it is so long! Anyway, on that page there is a box that is 3x4x6. I'm addicted to RUBs :D. I could not find decent index card boxes when I looked for them for All About Spelling cards. Like you, I found some at Target or Office Max (not Depot) and they were flimsy. I returned them! I am using some RUB's for All About Spelling cards and the boxes work GREAT.

Aoife Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I found awesome ones at walmart marked down a bunch that I can fit two AAS levels inside. They have three removable dividers inside and a spot to put a label into on the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imhim Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 So which ones of those boxes are Index Card boxes - 3 by 5? I need them for AAS and memory work. I just need the link - I have looked at things before and was not able to find a right thing. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find it on their online store, but I found a great index card box in the store. It's sort of shaped like a shoe box, but 3x5 cards fit perfectly, and it has an adjustable insert inside so your cards don't flop around. We also purchased dividers separately to keep our Latin cards separate from the biology cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the sterilite flip-top boxes from Walmart that only cost $1, and can fit 2 levels of cards. The problem with some of the smaller 3X5 card-holder boxes is that they aren't high enough--the tab dividers get bent over. Plus you can barely get the cards in and out. Here's my blog with pictures of what we're using. HTH! Merry :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Researcher Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 We use this Oxford Card File Box and it also has an adjustable follower block. I've been very happy with this one and especially like the adjustable follower block to keep the cards upright. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
