Simple Tips to Become the Ultimate Garage Hero
So what if your neighbors are known for their award-winning rosebushes, or that awe-inspiring display of shiny cars in the driveway? You’ll be turning more heads than a heavy-duty power screwdriver once they take a peek inside your garage.

That’s right—you can convert that cluttered man cave into the pride and joy of the neighborhood. With just a few organization supplies, you’ll be able to spruce up this space even in a single afternoon. Get ready to throw down the gauntlet and get your garage looking gorgeous in no time with these simple tips.

Find a home for everything from bolts to nuts

Where are those six-inch coarse steel hex-head wood screws when you need ‘em? Right where they belong, in your hardware organizer with labeled drawers. Identify everything from bits and bolts to nails and nuts at a glance. Just customize these templates and print on Avery Permanent I.D. Labels. These sturdy labels are designed with stick-and-stay, acid-free construction that’s built to last.

Create a window into your storage box’s soul

When your garage does double-duty as a storage center, clearly labeled boxes make it easy to identify their contents without rummaging through them. But when the contents of your boxes change, is there a simple way to reuse boxes and update the information on the outside?

The simple solution can be found with Avery Adhesive Pockets with Printable Card Inserts. These clear, durable pockets attach to a variety of surfaces and come with a supply of customizable card inserts. When the contents of your boxes change—like when you switch from storing winter clothing to summer clothing—just replace the card inserts to quickly update your boxes.

Tag your tools for instant identification

Objects can’t speak for themselves. But when you attach a tag, they’ll be able to communicate important messages, such as to whom they belong, your contact information, warnings, and more. Avery Durable Printable Cord Tags can help you organize the tangle of cords plugged in a surge protector, but they do so much more. Use them to mark tools you loan out, such as screwdrivers and ratchets. Just customize and print the labels with your name using the free Avery Design & Print Online program, then wrap the labels around the neck of your tools. These labels are tough enough to label all your stuff with a temperature tolerance that ranges from -22°F to 221°F, and will strongly remind your tool borrowers to whom they need to be returned.


Start a garage organization revolution in your neighborhood, and lead the way to a clutter-free community. By sharing tips and helping each other get more organized, you and your neighbors will not only build a better bond, you’ll all have garages everyone can be proud of!
