Posted on by Frankye

Stationed overseas? On Time Supplies ships to you! On Time Supplies can now ship office supplies and furniture to APO addresses, so whether you’re stationed in Dubai or FT. Worth, your office supplies arrive when you need them.

On Time Supplies’ owner Miles Young says the company made the decision to ship to APO boxes as a direct result of customer demand. “We [On Time Supplies] would get calls asking if we shipped to say, Dubai, and we would have to say no.”

Now, On Time Supplies can say yes. Young says he’s proud that his company can serve American troops and diplomats stationed outside the United States.

Office Ink Review – Avery NoteTabs Put To The Test

Posted on by Frankye

I took another dip into my big box of Avery Box Tops goodies. Avery Box Tops office supplies come with coupons you can collect to raise money for your kids’ school. This weekend, I took Avery’s NoteTabs out for a spin to bring you this Office Ink Review.

Avery bills NoteTabs as “notes, tabs and flags in one” – as useful an innovation as I’ve every heard. I’m sure you guys will want to use Avery NoteTabs on lots of very important documents, text books and planners. I just tested mine out on magazines to highlight the fall looks that I’m going to look great in and cute haircuts. I usually have to rip out a magazine pages that have information or pictures I want to save. Thanks to Avery NoteTabs, my W magazines stay intact, just the way Conde Nast intended! That officially earns Avery NoteTabs a “thumbs up” from Office Ink.

Avery NoteTabs are a significant upgrade from you standard flimsy page flags. They’re pretty sturdy, so you can grab a tab and turn right to your indexed page. Plus, they provide a nicely sized, see-through writing surface, so you can highlight text on a page and jot yourself a note. Best of all, they are completely removable and repositional. You can use Avery NoteTabs over and over again. You don’t have to deface your reference books and important documents anymore with highlighters, hard to remove page flags, or by writing notes directly on the page.

Review: Avery Magnet Sheets Make Awesome Refrigerator & Locker Magnets!

Posted on by Frankye

I have to admit: when the folks at Avery shared a few of their Box Tops for America eligible office supplies, I was most excited about the Personal Creations Magnet Sheets. Yeah, the tab dividers, label pads and dry erase markers that came along with the magnetic sheets have more practical applications in my day to day work life, but dude! Magnetic paper! I didn’t even know such a thing existed! Continue reading →
