Abstract
A system for organization, inventory control, and reordering of hardware items or the like. The system includes a rack to organize cartoned hardware items for easy access. End panels attached to each side of the rack displays the complete line of hardware available. Each carton includes a label attached to the carton's face. The label includes one portion that displays indica representing the particular item, e.g. a drawing of the hardware type, a description of the contents, and quantity. Each label also has a detachable perforated portion which may be peeled off from the carton and has a reusable pressure-sensitive backing. Order forms related to the labels of each hardware carton are also provided. Thus, when a carton is low, the user simply removes the perforated portion of the label from the face of the carton and affixes it to the order form to complete the order.
