Fun with 3M

3M Post it Notes...you don't have to be a wall artist, but you do need to know the best place to find them. These little notes have been one of the staples office supplies for well over 30 years.

What mistake? I don't see a mistake.

These aren't even close to the erasable pens of the 80's and 90"s. Pilot has truly created a unique product that extends beyond the school market. Imagine being able to take notes on the side of page and then erase completely. The eraser never wears out, the page is not damaged, the ink is completely gone. How? Friction or FriXion. So, let's say you print on that address label everyone uses, the Avery 5160, need it later...erase like a mad fool. Just like new. Where can you find these and other wonderful office supplies? OfficeBundle.com.

Back from a mission

With my mission successfully completed, I am back from the mountains of Pakistan in only two short years.  The job called for an office supply guru armed with only a post it note and 3m scotch tape..  Here's my deadly weapon:

If I say anything more than that, you'll be under surveillance by the government.   I can say there is a former tribal leader who won't be placing any  Just know that I'm back and ready to post like there is no tomorrow.  So that means, I can write on here until December 12, 2012 when there will in fact (according to some guy at the gas station, truly be no tomorrow).   I therefore plan to suck the marrow out our remaining time by writing on this very blog.   Much has changed in the office supply world since my mission began.  New products have entered the market place making you the beneficiary.  That is if you'r smart enough to use them rather than buying the same old cheap office supplies time and time again.  I will show you some over the many days we have until the Myan calendarrings true.

From Star Wars to Paper Trimmers

Lasers are synonymous with technology. If a laser is involved you know it's gotta be cool. Used today in everything from eye surgery to children's toys, the laser has long ago ditched its science fiction image. We now see the mighty laser in a variety of office supplies as well. Your printers, pointers, paper shredders, and computer mouses (or is it computer mice?), all incorporate the laser as a major component of functionality. So, tired of lining up paper in a paper trimmer the "old" way? Get out of the 1970's with a laser guided paper trimmer. That's right, forget trying to use your own eye. What are you crazy? Use a laser! Come on, you know you want to. Oh, and if you don't think you need a paper trimmer in your office, you might want to reconsider. Besides the obvious value for in house marketing pieces, I've seen many a company receive printed materials (e.g. invitations) that were just a bit too large for the envelopes...the quick solution? A paper trimmer...an office supply classic.

The specifics on the product you see above: Item number EPI26234

• · Get a precise cut every time -- laser shows exactly where to line up the paper.
• · X-acto® hardened steel blade stays sharp with the X-acto® Perpetual Edge Self-Sharpening System.
• · Cuts up to 12 sheets at a 12" cut length.
• · Deluxe safety guard keeps fingers away from the blade.

Surprised to hear it

I recently heard of a rather large company that still sends an employee out to the supply chain store to pick up needed office supplies. Here we are in 2008 and I had assumed that this archaic practice was all but extinct. Actually, I do believe that this particular company is truly the last of a dyeing breed. The chain office supply store may serve an individual, offer that much needed school supply, or even fill in as a stop gap for a minor office emergency. But for the primary source for the office's needs? That is foolish. Why? Well, for one, the cost of fuel isn't exactly going down. So are you willing to pay for both gas and the lost time strolling down the aisles looking at computer games and trying to decide what candy bar to buy? Secondly, an employee out of offical company business is technically still on the clock, as such should an accident occur, you (if you are the owner) or your company is liable. And for what? Where should you buy your office supplies? Right here of course. At OfficeBundle.com you have the best of both worlds, documented low prices and ease of use. Forget the store, the whoile store and more is right at your finger tips. Okay, what office product will I suggest today? How about something that addresses a very common office ailment...wrist pain.

Instant Marketing...Lasting Impression

The practical application for this awesome office machine should be apparent. Unfortunately, an office manager may see this item ( IMN26331) and decide that the price tag along makes it unnecessary.

This machine by Imation is something that could have a dramatic improvement on office efficiency in the burning capacity alone. Next, factor in the professional look, ease, and lack of labeling supplies, and you've got a real winner here. Power point presentations, product and service demos, software, documents, and photographs...you get the picture, the uses are hugely important. This is an item that your marketers must be aware of. The smartest buyers are the ones that seek new innovations and introduce them to those who might benefit the most. Simply reordering products is not the only service our office supply buyers do.

So what is this anyway?

Do you really want to know? Okay. But you asked for it. What you are looking at are colonies of microscopic organisms. They may be small and fuzzy but make no mistake about it, they are not friendly. The scary part is that your office is probably loaded with them. You may even have some unexplained ailments that can be traced right back to these guys. New manufacturing technology brought to you by the top office product manufacturing companies are ready to rescue you. I know. Price is paramount... especially during these tenuous economic times. However, the health of the office or lack there of is much more expensive than the extra money it may cost to stock up valuable antimicrobial office supplies. So what exactly does antimicrobial mean? Basically, an antimicrobial is a substance that kills or inhibits the growth of microbes such as bacteria, fungi, or viruses. Antimicrobial drugs either kill microbes (microbicidal) or prevent the growth of microbes. armed with this knowledge, look for commonly handled items like folders, envelopes, pens, binders, etc. Below is a short list of some of these fantastic antimicrobial office supplies that should become essential to your office. All of these and many many other discount office supplies can be found at OfficeBundle.com.
