The Cubicle Crucible

Perhaps there is some good

noreply@blogger.com (The Office Oracle) — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 02:06:00 +0000

If there is any good that might come form theses economic doldrums, it quite possible could be the notion that complacency is not good a business move. I've seen far too many companies do nothing rather than explore an opportunity that offers them a savings. Most businesses are looking to trim expenses...especially now. Most buyer claim to be looking for savings... especially now. And yet, I must sadly report that the majority do nothing. Why? That's the great mystery. Is it really better do nothing to sit on your hands and maintain business as usual? I can confidently say that given these pathetic economic times we're forced to endure, those companies that fail to adapt will ultimately fail or become a shell of their former self. Now is the time to look for cost effective expansion opportunities. That's right expansion. Given the available technologies it may not necessarily require additional hires but many justify maintaining existing personnel.

Operating from a position of fear is the exact opposite of what your business should be doing. It's counter productive and retards growth opportunities. Vendor relationships should be reevaluated as business as usual has certainly become unusual. In our industry we have seen many what was once iron clad "agreements" with Office Depot and Staples dissolve and come our way. Why? Price in part. But our flexibility and quick response has been a major factor as well.

The point of my ramble is to encourage the discouraged workers out there to avoid the complacency trap. make your self an asset to your company by offering new suggestion, new methods, and even new products. Sure I want one of your suggestions to be about office supplies and in particular OfficeBundle.com, but in light of that, find your own cause and increase your value. Sitting still is a death sentence for both you and your company.

The month and ongoing....

noreply@blogger.com (The Office Oracle) — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 21:24:00 +0000

Breast Cancer Awareness month is upon us. Buy all the special pink ribbon office supplies you can and help contribute to finding a cure to this damn disease once and for all. It's caused too much damage for far too long to allow this thing to continue. Clinical research is ongoing and better treatments have resulted with a cure on the horizon. Some of the top manufacturers in the office supply business have stepped up tot he plate by creating a healthy variety of pink office supplies. A portion of each sale goes to the City of Hope, a wonderful hospital in California that is doing some amazing things.

So help fund the cure and get some great office products a the same time. You know, it doesn't have to be just in October...these products are available year round.

This goes for the men too. Don't be afraid to be seen in pink, using pink, etc. If the NFL can do it, surely it's "cool" enough for you.

Smead folders are wonderful. No doubt you were just thinking the same thing. Seriously though, a filing product is not given much thought until it is needed and at that time you don't want some flimsy piece of junk that tears if it has to hold 5 pages.

Smead manufacturers many great products and is consequently one of the most respected makes of office products in what is a huge industry. Of all the products they make, I keep going back to the SuperTab as one of my favorites. I do so because it is of course practical but I also do so because it demonstrates a willingness for an older company to tweak or improve if you will on one of it's most basic items.

A "Super Tab" is just logical, those normal tabs are often to small and difficult to read offer not much space for the information is should convey. Also, a SuperTab can actually improve efficiency. How you say? By reducing the time it takes to retrieve a file. If you can see it easier, you can grab it easier. Simple enough? Add this idea to color coding your files and you're cooking with grease. The SuperTab come sin colors, manila, and legal...the sku number under the image above is put one product number.

Main Features

Manufacturer: Smead Manufacturing Company
Manufacturer Part Number: 11961
Brand Name: Smead
Product Line: SuperTab
Product Name: SuperTab Oversized Tab Folder
Packaged Quantity: 100 / Box
Product Type: Top Tab File Folder

Product Description

SuperTab folders are designed with 90 percent larger label area than standard folders for improved labeling. Labels are easier to see using larger text or more lines of text. Economical single-ply tab fit any vertical or lateral filing system. Folders feature 11 point stock, extra-wide 1/3-cut tabs and 7/8" high tabs. Scored for 3/4" expansion. SFI Certified.

These aren't even close to the erasable pens of the 80's and 90"s. Pilot has truly created a unique product that extends beyond the school market. Imagine being able to take notes on the side of page and then erase completely. The eraser never wears out, the page is not damaged, the ink is completely gone. How? Friction or FriXion. So, let's say you print on that address label everyone uses, the Avery 5160, need it later...erase like a mad fool. Just like new. Where can you find these and other wonderful office supplies?

Back from a mission

noreply@blogger.com (The Office Oracle) — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 03:16:00 +0000

With my mission successfully completed, I am back from the mountains of Pakistan in only two short years. The job called for an office supply guru armed with only a post it note and 3m scotch tape.. Here's my deadly weapon:

If I say anything more than that, you'll be under surveillance by the government. I can say there is a former tribal leader who won't be placing any Just know that I'm back and ready to post like there is no tomorrow. So that means, I can write on here until December 12, 2012 when there will in fact (according to some guy at the gas station, truly be no tomorrow). I therefore plan to suck the marrow out our remaining time by writing on this very blog. Much has changed in the office supply world since my mission began. New products have entered the market place making you the beneficiary. That is if you'r smart enough to use them rather than buying the same old cheap office supplies time and time again. I will show you some over the many days we have until the Myan calendarrings true.

From Star Wars to Paper Trimmers

noreply@blogger.com (The Office Oracle) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:59:00 +0000

Lasers are synonymous with technology. If a laser is involved you know it's gotta be cool. Used today in everything from eye surgery to children's toys, the laser has long ago ditched its science fiction image. We now see the mighty laser in a variety of office supplies as well. Your printers, pointers, paper shredders, and computer mouses (or is it computer mice?), all incorporate the laser as a major component of functionality. So, tired of lining up paper in a paper trimmer the "old" way? Get out of the 1970's with a laser guided paper trimmer. That's right, forget trying to use your own eye. What are you crazy? Use a laser! Come on, you know you want to. Oh, and if you don't think you need a paper trimmer in your office, you might want to reconsider. Besides the obvious value for in house marketing pieces, I've seen many a company receive printed materials (e.g. invitations) that were just a bit too large for the envelopes...the quick solution? A paper trimmer...an office supply classic.

The specifics on the product you see above: Item number EPI26234

· Get a precise cut every time -- laser shows exactly where to line up the paper.
· X-acto® hardened steel blade stays sharp with the X-acto® Perpetual Edge Self-Sharpening System.
· Cuts up to 12 sheets at a 12" cut length.
· Deluxe safety guard keeps fingers away from the blade.

Surprised to hear it

noreply@blogger.com (The Office Oracle) — Wed, 28 May 2008 22:37:00 +0000

I recently heard of a rather large company that still sends an employee out to the supply chain store to pick up needed office supplies. Here we are in 2008 and I had assumed that this archaic practice was all but extinct. Actually, I do believe that this particular company is truly the last of a dyeing breed. The chain office supply store may serve an individual, offer that much needed school supply, or even fill in as a stop gap for a minor office emergency. But for the primary source for the office's needs? That is foolish. Why? Well, for one, the cost of fuel isn't exactly going down. So are you willing to pay for both gas and the lost time strolling down the aisles looking at computer games and trying to decide what candy bar to buy? Secondly, an employee out of offical company business is technically still on the clock, as such should an accident occur, you (if you are the owner) or your company is liable. And for what? Where should you buy your office supplies? Right here of course. At OfficeBundle.com you have the best of both worlds, documented low prices and ease of use. Forget the store, the whoile store and more is right at your finger tips. Okay, what office product will I suggest today? How about something that addresses a very common office ailment...wrist pain. Ergonomics seems to have lost some of its appeal but the issues have not gone away. Wrist pain associated with repeated computer navigation can be improved with this innovative mouse from 3M:

You are looking at the MMMEM500GPS

Product specifications include:

This mouse's unique vertical grip keeps hand and arm in a neutral position, reducing pressure on wrist’s median nerve.
Clinically proven to reduce discomfort associated with carpal tunnel syndrome.

You may have to get use to a new way of maneuvering your cursor but the benefits are hard to ignore. This as well as so many other fantastic office supplies are mere seconds away, mere clicks on your mouse (regardles the style) ...right next door at OfficeBundle.com.

The practical application for this awesome office machine should be apparent. Unfortunately, an office manager may see this item ( IMN26331) and decide that the price tag along makes it unnecessary.

Do you really want to know? Okay. But you asked for it. What you are looking at are colonies of microscopic organisms. They may be small and fuzzy but make no mistake about it, they are not friendly. The scary part is that your office is probably loaded with them. You may even have some unexplained ailments that can be traced right back to these guys. New manufacturing technology brought to you by the top office product manufacturing companies are ready to rescue you. I know. Price is paramount... especially during these tenuous economic times. However, the health of the office or lack there of is much more expensive than the extra money it may cost to stock up valuable antimicrobial office supplies. So what exactly does antimicrobial mean? Basically, an antimicrobial is a substance that kills or inhibits the growth of microbes such as bacteria, fungi, or viruses. Antimicrobial drugs either kill microbes (microbicidal) or prevent the growth of microbes. armed with this knowledge, look for commonly handled items like folders, envelopes, pens, binders, etc. Below is a short list of some of these fantastic antimicrobial office supplies that should become essential to your office. All of these and many many other discount office supplies can be found at OfficeBundle.com.

Recession?

noreply@blogger.com (The Office Oracle) — Thu, 15 May 2008 15:53:00 +0000

If you listen to the economic experts, we're heading for a recession. With some more favorable than expected economic numbers recently being released, the chatter has died down a bit but the possibility still looms large.

I am but the messenger, but make no mistake about it, Office Depot is in trouble. State governments such as Georgia, California, Florida, and Nebraska (click the newspaper on the right), have conducted in depth contract investigations and have discovered millions of dollars worth of contract discrepancies. In Georgia, Office Depot has lost the sate contract as a result. This news is based on government overcharges as business can conduct their own internal investigations. Besides the overcharges, the scrutiny alone has been expensive. These over-charges are not miscalculations, but rather intentional price manipulation for the purpose of profit. We understand that profits are essential to the health of any business, but when they are acquired via dubious practices, we have a right to call foul. The marketing budget of Office Depot seems bottomless. They acquire many customers strictly on name recognition alone. We are not ashamed to share this news. OfficeBundle.com may not be as big as Office Depot but we serve as a viable alternative for verifiable discount office supplies.

What Should You Use?

noreply@blogger.com (The Office Oracle) — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 21:14:00 +0000

Of course this would never happen in your office, but let's just pretend that a co-worker aggravates you. Impossible you say? Let us just imagine that the unthinkable were to come true. Now let us pretend that the level of aggravation is as such that feel the need to hurl an object at the back of his/ her head. So the question is this...what office supply item should you use now that your target is clear. Some item are easier and more effective than others. Take a manila folder for example. At first glance it has similar properties as a Chinese throwing star or perhaps even a boomerang. Don't kid yourself, a manila folder is far too erratic and no sooner does it leave your hand than it is completely out of control. If you are a fan of the slicing saw blade type action then go with a 3X3 sticky note pad, it's heavy enough to fly in a more deliberate manner thereby increasing your chances of an effective hit. Shooting rubber bands is old school but as we all know sometimes there is clear wisdom in the ancients. Don't discount the effectiveness of a properly placed launched rubber band on the back of the head. A successful hit creates a certain undeniable sense of satisfaction.
Blowing black toner in the face of your annoying co=worker is stepping it up a notch and could earn you your walking papers so despite the temptation, this "attack" should be avoided. Ballpoint pens will give you that tomahawk rotation that will allow you to strike effectively from more than 3 cubicles away. Thankfully OfficeBundle.com offers you true discount office supplies to use as you see fit!

Smooth writing without the skips, scrapes and smears, that's what you want when you write with a pen. Sounds easy but it's actually pretty hard to pull off. Of all the office supplies, pens are the most personal. Most people have a favorite brand be it Pentel or Sanford. Although,today's office supply buyers are more likely to go with the generic cheaply made Chinese product than a higher quality pen. Basically, you can pick an old standby, the ballpoint pen or go with the gel ink as found in a rollerball pen. Here's what you can expect: gel ink does not dissolve as does the oil based paste ink of a ballpoint. Therefore for archival purposes, old school ink might not be your best choice. Gel ink is composed of a pigment suspended in water-based gel. Gel ink allows for more vibrant color choices and will produce the brightest write out on dark surfaces other than a paint pen. Rollerballs require less pressure to write, but the likely hood for smudging increases as does the possibility of a leak. Ballpoints are cheaper and will write longer. Gel inks create a shine that can make a document look more professional. So what's the your best option? Who knows? Why not go with a hybrid ink? It dries fast (great for left handers) and produces the smoothest write out. Here's a popular product SAN33922. A great source for discount office supplie s.

What's the formula?

noreply@blogger.com (The Office Oracle) — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 21:48:00 +0000

The office supply business is extremely competitive. There are literally thousands of would be sellers out there of various sizes. You'll find a wide variety from the antiquated suppliers that run their businesses like it was 1935 to the progressive supplies that rely on technology and everything in between. All of them have at least one customer that isn't a family member. So, given all the possibilities and all the noise what is that makes a buyer choose one office supplier over the next? Is it price?
