These little fellas are perhaps the most important ingredients to Alcatraz.

Cable binders. You need them to tie some cables into a trunk, fasten them to racks, shelves, computers, other trunks, or whereever else it makes sense.

You certainly know this kind of fastening strip. Once tied, it's impossible to loosen it again. You have to cut them. We peruse a bushel a week.

The cardboard box in the background contains small plastic encasings for labels. These are first loaded with a label and then put on the fastening strips (before you tie them!). That way, the label cannot be lost.
