How we protect your data

From the box to your phone

Know what is in the box without opening it

  1. A green storage tote with an amber lid, a printed Shelfes label stuck to its side.

    Stick the label on

    Every box and bin gets its own label, printed from Shelfes.

  2. Point your phone at it

    Scan the code with your phone's camera, from the app or the camera you already use.

  3. The Shelfes app showing the Camping bin in Garage, Shelf A, with the same label code as the printed label.The Shelfes app showing the Camping bin in Garage, Shelf A, with the same label code as the printed label.

    See what is inside

    The box opens on your screen: where it sits and every item in it.

How it works

    Photograph what is inside

    A photo and a name are enough. Add a warranty date or a tag when it helps.

  3. A printed Shelfes label: a QR code, the name Camping bin, its place in the garage and a short code.

    Print and attach a label

    On Avery sheets or a label printer, as a PDF sized to fit.

  4. Search and find it

    Type a few letters and see the shelf and box it is in.
