    • Choose a Bin Type (bin, box, drawer, cupboard, chest, or armoire).
    • Add a Bin Label (like Christmas Decor or Camping Gear).

💡 Tip: Label the bin first and take the photo after it's packed—this makes it easy to recognize later.

Tap "Done" when finished.

Step 4: Add Items to Your Bin

  1. Tap your Bin.
  2. Tap "Add Item".
  • Tap the camera icon to take a photo or choose one from your library.

To add more items, tap the plus (+) icon and repeat.

Step 5: View Your Bin List & Prepare to Print

  1. In the Bin List, swipe left on any bin.
  2. Tap the printer icon.
  3. Select bins to print by checking them off.
  4. Tap "Print" at the bottom.

Confirm your printer and hit Print!
