As It just helps to have smaller items one end of list. 4 - we need pic or drawing of each Unique size item if possible so either draw them manually or take pic with digital camera. (The low tech manual method will be in brackets. ) 5 - Add item data to list. The list can be kept on paper or electronically as text file or word doc or excel file. Item # & Length & width & height & qty & name 1 - Glasses - 2 x6 x 1 - qty 2 2 - Pen - 1/2 x 1/2 x 4 - qty 5 For each item. A - add name and number to the list B - measure the size of item C - count qty and estimate future possible max quantity. D - (put the item on a piece of paper & draw around with pencil or pen. Write on the inside of the image the name and number on front. ) E - (Cut or tear picture out of paper. The cut size can be bigger than size of the drawing. ) F - (write dimensions and quantity of the item on the back. ) G - ADD dimensions and qty to the list. H - take picture of actual items and / or drawing of the item with phone or digital camera so they can be imported as pic or PDF to be used in word doc or graphic software.
