Office equipment is a general term that will cover all the supplies and stationery that is used in an office or business that outputs information on paper or on another form. The concept of a “paperless office” was widely discussed in the 1950’s and 1960’s but it has been rejected in modern times due to the fact that the rise of the use of computers in offices has led to a rise in the output of paper.
Office stationery range from the everyday items such as paper, pens, paperclips, staples, staplers, hole punches, binders, folders and post it notes. Then office equipment includes the larger equipment such as pc’s, printers, photocopiers, faxes and also furniture such as desks, chairs and cabinets.
Many office equipment companies have expanded into related markets such as printing business stationery and business cards. They are also involved in personal stationery such as wedding stationery. Some have also developed and can also offer printing and storing documents electronically.
