How to choose office & stationery
Choose supplies and desk equipment for the work you do every day. Refill compatibility, ergonomics and paper requirements can make a modest purchase more useful than a premium-looking set.
| Check before buying | Why it matters | Trade-off or limit |
|---|---|---|
| Format and compatibility | Check paper size, printer requirements, refill codes and desk dimensions. | A reusable or refillable item may use proprietary consumables. |
| Comfort and adjustment | Check grip, writing feel, seating adjustment or screen position as relevant. | One ergonomic shape will not suit every user. |
| Replacement and unit cost | Compare usable sheets, refill capacity and replacement part availability. | A large pack is only good value if it will be used and stored well. |
Common mistake: Recycled paper content and forestry certification are different claims; check the exact percentage and label scope.
