My director gave me a flipchart that she had at home. It's a little worn but it will work until I can do supply order and get a new one. My first show is tonight and I'd like to use it in my demo. I have the three sheet protectors that it comes with but does anyone know if you can buy more at any office supply store or if it's something we can only find at HO? I'd really like to get more but i don't want to spend my day running all over town. Thanks! Tina
 
I used to work at Staples and I don't recall any sheet protectors that would work with a flip chart like that... and while all the stores are different, if Staples didn't have it, probably the others won't either.
 
Tina~

I have never seen inserts at any office supply store like that...

They are on the supply order, I think 3 for 1.25 or something close to that!
 
I looked at several office stores and there isn't any that I have seen that are like ours. They are inexpensive on the supply order.
 
If you are not doing a supply order soon, just take regular sheet protectors and hole punch them in the right spot for the flip chart. I did that when I needed some extra sheets between orders. I did replace them with the flip chart ones when I could so things looked more consistent but it worked in a pinch!

Thanks for all the info. It wasn't so much that I was worried about the cost, I just wanted to wait until Oct. 1 to submit a supply order. I just wanted to find a way to use the flipchart in my shows before then. Thanks for the suggestion Beth, I'll try that! Tina
 
If you have things that you won't need to pull out of protectors, you can have them laminated, then punch holes on the top. That's what I do for monthly specials.

That is a good idea and usually it doesn't cost much to get things laminated at least it doesn't around here.
 
When laminated, they're also nice to pass around for the guests at shows to see.
