Worth knowing

Office supplies is the generic term that refers to all supplies regu­larly used in offices by busi­nes­ses and other or­ganiza­tions, from private citi­zens to go­vernments, who work with the col­lection, refine­ment, and output of infor­ma­tion. The term inclu­des small, ex­pendab­le, daily use items such as paper clips, post-it notes, and staples, small machi­nes such as hole punches, binders, stap­lers and lamina­tors, writing u­ten­sils and paper, but also en­compas­ses higher-cost e­quip­ment like com­pu­ters, prin­ters, fax machi­nes, photoco­piers and cash re­gisters, as well as office fur­nitu­re such as chairs, cu­bicles, filing cabinet, and armoire desks. Two very common medium-to-high-cost office e­quip­ment items before the advent of suitably priced word pro­ces­sing machi­nes and PCs in the 1970s and 1980s were typew­riters and adding machi­nes. Many busi­nes­ses in the office supply in­dustry have re­cently ex­pan­ded into related markets for busi­nes­ses like copy centers, which facilita­te the crea­tion and prin­ting of busi­ness col­late­ral such as busi­ness cards and statio­nery, plus prin­ting and binding of high quality, high volume busi­ness and en­ginee­ring docu­ments.
