An online card is no match for a real one. The joy of receiving a special card on a birthday or anniversary is unparalleled. Stationery reflects the sender’s taste and temperament. Letters and memos sent on good quality and well designed stationery gives a great impression and a well designed invite sets the tone for an event. Although the term encompasses a wide variety of items, it is generally used for paper and related material like letterheads, notebooks, memo pads, envelopes, cards, carbon and printer papers, markers, pens and pencils, as well as useful items like erasers, staplers and drawing pins. Stationery varies in design, colour and size.
Business stationery is generally formal. Business correspondence is often made on headed paper with envelopes bearing the company’s name, address and artwork or logo. Printing the company’s name and logo on regular office stationery such as pens, memo pads, notes, files and folders, diaries, planners and calendars, can create a good impression about how your business is run. Well designed business cards with the right amount of information are also necessary for many organisations.
Informal and personalised stationery is great for staying in touch with friends and family. You could use coloured, perfumed, handmade or a thick quality art paper to give that special touch. Factors like weight, colour, texture, and finish determine the quality and cost of the paper.
School children often require a set of stationery items such as pens, pencils, erasers, sharpeners, geometry and science sets as well as drawing and craft related stationery. There is also stationery available for children with pictures of their favourite cartoon characters, colourful designs and favourite themes. By making stationery appealing, children can be encouraged to use stationery for staying in touch with their friends and family as well as for studying and writing with their favourite pens.
Seasonal stationery such as invitations and greeting cards are available in different colours, designs and themes for special occasions like festivals, Christmas, Thanksgiving, birthdays, anniversaries and graduation. Cards can express gratitude or condolences.
You can design your own bills, invoices, cards and letterheads on the computer or take printouts from the hundreds of ready-to-use stationery designs that are available online.
