Office & Awards
Office and award item FAQs
What’s the difference between portfolios & journals and note jotters & memos?
Portfolios & journals are meant for longer-term note taking and carrying documents, while note jotters & memos are better for quick reminders and short notes. Portfolios & journals fit meetings and travel, and note jotters & memos suit desks and check-in areas.
When should I choose plaques & paperweights instead of photo frames?
Plaques & paperweights fit formal recognition and desk display when you want a single, self-contained piece. Photo frames work better when the recipient will add a picture later, such as a team photo or event snapshot.
Are lapel pins or silicone bracelets & bands better for large event handouts?
Lapel pins feel more like a keepsake and work well for staff, speakers, or milestones. Silicone bracelets & bands are simpler to hand out in higher quantities and are commonly used for group participation or team identification.
What office items work well for onboarding kits at a new-hire desk?
Desk accessories, sticky note pads, and rulers work well for onboarding kits because they get used immediately at the workspace. Portfolios & journals also fit onboarding when new hires will attend meetings or trainings.
How do I choose between sticky note pads and cube pads?
Sticky note pads are better when notes need to attach to monitors, folders, or documents. Cube pads are better when the goal is a larger stack of loose notes that stays on the desk.
What should I put in an office & awards kit for a conference check-in table?
Office & awards kits for check-in tables typically focus on quick-use items like note jotters & memos and clipboards for forms. Recognition add-ons like lapel pins can also help distinguish staff or VIP attendees.
