Custom office supplies can live on your teams' desks, and in your clients hand; they provide long-term visibility for your brand that a one-time advertisement cannot. Purchasing items provides longevity for your business; they create an impression of professionalism & consistency, for a low cost. We've been matching these items to the job for upwards of 30 years, so we know what fits.
Start with awards and recognition items for client and recognition pieces. We also recommend that you see desk accessories, and branded pens for the everyday impact. Reach out, to tell us what it's for and we'll guide the pick for you; or simply browse the range below.
Staff kit or client gift, the job decides what you order
The first thing to decide is whether the ordered products are going to be in a kit for your own team, or if they are appreciative gifts for clients and recognition. This choice narrows down the whole list. Name your goal and recipient, and it will clearly highlight your best options.
Custom office supplies are used for employee onboarding, client gifts, trade show giveaways, company events, and milestone recognition. Our items are practical and cost-effective to produce, and they provide customers/employees repeated exposure to your company logo.
Staff kit is the durable everyday stuff, scaled to a budget and built for daily use. This could be branded pens, notebooks and desk accessories; they display your logo, and maintain their quality long term, even with daily use. A new-hire onboarding kit is the everyday case here, and this is where personalized office supplies for the team belong.
Client and recognition pieces fall on the kept-and-displayed end, they're built to last. These include leather padfolios, engraved metals, and crystal awards pieces. This is where you find closing gifts for clients, or milestone awards for your loyal employees. The quality steps up, because this one's going on a shelf to stay.
Custom office supplies for daily use need a finish that lasts
Once you've named the job, you determine the quality and finish, based on how much use the item gets. Everyday items require a finish that won't wear. For metal pieces that are used daily, we recommend laser engraving. This is where a permanent etch of your logo is burnt into the metal, keeping your logo visible long-term. This is why a metal, engraved pen is a useful all-rounder, it comes in at a sensible price, and works as an everyday staff pen, or a presentable client gift. However, when purchasing staff pens in bulk, a plastic pen printed with a pad, is a more affordable and better choice. For flat paper goods, such as notebooks and journals, colour print will sit perfectly and work practically. Transparency is important to us, we will always provide you an honest recommendation based on your companies needs. If the cheaper option suits you best, we will say so.
The table below compares the two jobs side by side across custom office products.
| What you're deciding | Equip your own team (staff kit) | Give it to a client or recipient (recognition) |
|---|---|---|
| Typical items | Branded pens, notebooks and journals, desk accessories | Leather padfolios, engraved drinkware, metal and crystal awards |
| Quality | Durable, built for a budget and daily use | Kept and displayed, made to last |
| Decoration that fits | Pad or color print on paper goods | Laser engraving or deboss, a permanent finish |
| When it's the right call | High volume, tight budget per piece, everyday handling | A client gift or an internal milestone you want to last |
Nothing is made until you've approved the proof
The occasion determines the item; a tenure milestone calls for something engraved and presented, not handed out in a swag bag. That means looking through our Awards, built specifically as awards for businesses that want recognition to hold its register.
A crew heading to site needs a tool that they will actually use out in the field: Measuring Devices, carry your brand into working environments where a plaque would land wrong.
A product that earns desk space all year; a clock face checked every morning, a holder reached for without thinking, belongs in Clocks and Watch Accessories or Desk Accessories. Three moments, three different calls.
Proof approved before anything ships, minimums as low as one unit on select items, one account manager from first message to delivery, customer satisfaction guaranteed.
