"Don’t underestimate good pens and stationery – they keep your team organised and your brand looking sharp, whether it’s a school desk or a busy office. I always say, if your pen skips, so will your productivity – go for quality like Papermate every time."
How Papermate Pens & Stationery Work
The magic of Papermate ballpoint pens lies in their precision-engineered tips and specially formulated ink that flows consistently without skipping. Gel pens like the popular InkJoy range use water-based gel ink that dries incredibly quickly—perfect for left-handers tired of smudges! The Flair felt tips feature porous points that allow ink to flow evenly for crisp lines and vibrant color. Most Papermate pens use quick-drying ink technology that prevents smudging, while their ergonomic designs reduce writing fatigue during long sessions. The result? Writing instruments that perform brilliantly from the first word to the last!

Top Tips for Using Papermate Pens & Stationery
To get the most from your Papermate pens, store them horizontally rather than tip-down to prevent ink pooling and ensure consistent flow. For gel pens, keep the caps securely fastened when not in use to prevent drying out. Pair your Papermate pens with quality paper or notebooks for the smoothest writing experience—cheap paper can cause skipping with some pen types. And if you're using Flair felt tips for planning or journaling, let ink dry for a few seconds before highlighting to avoid smudging.
