Pubs , clubs or organizations selling potato chips may have some issues exposing them on the shelf. The potato chips get lost in the back of the cardboard box. When the box is full there's almost no issue but when you're almost out of stock this instructable helps You out. The solution contains adding a stretcher system in the box that keeps on pushing the potato chips to the front. Practical issue solved and it's organized properly.


What do we need ?


  • Potato chips box
  • 20 chips sachets
  • old stretcher
  • Knife
  • superglue
  • Cardboard leftovers
  • a ruler
