Save money by purchasing everyday office paper supplies in large quantities

Choose an office supply paper store that gives you the combination of price and service that you prefer; many online sites offer free shipping. You might be able to save money on everyday letterhead stationary by printing the letterhead from your computer along with the contents of the letter.

I recommend: Find discount prices on office paper at Rapid Supplies and OfficeSupplyGroup.

Buy from specialty paper distributors for high-quality documents

Specialty paper comes in a variety of sizes and colors as well as the weights listed above. The finish, or surface, of the paper can be anywhere from ultra smooth, to rough, to an embossed pattern such as linen, laid or cockle. Carbonless paper allows a form to be duplicated easily, and special security paper gives the extra security of a special design, making it hard to copy or counterfeit.

I recommend: Find the best variety of specialty paper at Paper Direct. Purchase fine office stationary and other fine paper at FineStationary. Find many types of paper at PaperWorks.

Earth friendly office supplies are becoming more popular and easier to find and buy. Besides recycled paper, you may also want to look for file folders, mailing envelopes, business envelopes, and post-it notes made from recycled post-consumer waste.

I recommend: Purchase recycled office supply paper at Quill and GreenLine Paper Company.
