The five groups of stationery supply
Stationery is a broad word, so suppliers tend to organise it into groups. Our catalogue follows the same five:
- Paper and print: A4 paper, ink and toner cartridges, printing services, envelopes and labels
- Writing and filing: pens and markers, notebooks, lever arch files, staplers and whiteboards
- School and art: school stationery, exercise books, stationery packs and art supplies
- Office and business: office stationery, office supplies, furniture, packaging and printed business stationery
- Supply services: stationery suppliers, wholesale stationery, local shops and tenders
Stationery and supplies in one request
Most buyers need a mix of items rather than one product. A stationery and office supplies order for a small firm might include copy paper, toner, pens, files and kitchen consumables, while a school order is heavy on exercise books and packs. Put everything on one requisition. General stationers can quote the whole list, and specialists can price the lines they carry, such as cartridges or printing.
Give quantities in the units suppliers use: reams and boxes for paper, boxes of 50 for pens, each for files and staplers. If you have a preferred grade or size, such as 80 gsm paper or A4 versus foolscap files, say so.
Stationery supplies near me: delivery and minimums
Searching for stationery supplies near me is sensible, because delivery is part of the price. Many suppliers deliver free above a minimum order value within their area and charge a fee below it or further out. Bulky items such as paper by the box are heavy, so a local supplier often wins on total cost.
Lead times are usually a day or two for stock items, longer for printed or branded goods. The January back-to-school rush and the end of the financial year are the busiest periods, so order early then.
Comparing stationery quotes
When quotes arrive, compare them line by line rather than on the bottom total alone. Check:
- Whether prices include VAT at 15%, and whether delivery is extra
- Grade, size and pack quantity for each line, so you compare like with like
- Payment terms: COD or EFT for once-off orders, or a 30-day account for regular buyers
- Stock availability and what substitutes the supplier proposes
- B-BBEE level and CSD registration, if you buy for a public body
What to include in your request
- List every item with quantity and unit
- Give the size, grade or colour where it matters
- State the delivery address and date needed
- Say whether you want an account or COD/EFT
- Mention B-BBEE or CSD needs for public buyers
