When it comes to storing data, high capacity USB memory sticks seem to be taking over from CDs and DVD. There are some instances where the latter are invaluable though (music and movies, backing up, and sending large or multiple files on to others). Often blank media comes supplied on a spindle of 10 or more discs, and jewel cases or sleeves need to be purchased separately. This is usually fine… until you realise you have run out of cases! Fear not though, as there is a handy solution… make your own from a sheet of paper!

Whilst this won’t be for everyone, we like it because it is a good temporary solution,  and is more environmentally friendly than plastic cases. It also means that discs will fit in to a slimmer envelope that can be posted as a ‘letter’ (rather than ‘large letter’) in the Royal Mail’s postage system … saving money on stamps too!
