Tip 2: Sealable pouches for puzzles

"Puzzle boxes are usually annoying and fall apart. Unless you’re using them as an art decoration in rainbow order, toss the box and put the pieces in a zippered pouch. Attach a photo of the puzzle to the front or you can cut the front of the box and include it in the bag instead."
