How to Test Storex
When you run a business, it's important to have your office furnished to maximize your efficiency and that of your co-workers. Storex manufactures and sells a wide range of office supplies, from filing cabinets to pencil holders. Like many big companies, Storex tests its products before it sends them into the consumer market. But it's never a bad idea to test your office supplies yourself. With such a wide range of products, you can perform a variety of tests in the comfort of your own office space.

Do this with papers that you aren't trying to keep in order. You might find the product's breaking point and then you'll have a mess on your hands.

Drop one of Storex's pencil and card holders. These holders can be tested by putting objects in them to see the maximum number they can hold. Another way to test them is simply to drop them to the floor to see what kind of impact they can take.
