How to Pick the Right Pen – Gel Pens, Roller Pens, Ball Point Pens

ConcordSupplies.com — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 05:13:20 +0000

Writing Pens – What to Choose?

Finding the right pen is always a challenge. Should you go with a ball point, felt tip pen, gel pen or one of those new varieties that cost a fortune? It all depends on your needs and budget.

Let’s start by discussing the various types of writing pens that are utilized the most in today’s business office environments.

Ball Point Pens – The Old Standby

The ball point pen is very popular. Ball point pens have a small ball at the end which delivers its ink to the paper surface. Ball point pens are easy-to-use, very reliable and extremely inexpensive.

Roller Ball Pens – A Good Choice

A newer version of pen is the roller ball pen. Roller ball pens have a similar design as the ball point pen, but they use a water based pen ink liquid or ink gel. This type of pen ink makes the writing instrument move more easily across the paper’s surface.

Gel Pens – New to the Game

The newest entrant into the writing pen space are gel pens. Gel pens were introduced in the mid-90’s and come in various colors and varieties. Gel pens have a wide selection of colors and typically roll smoother than ball point pens.

So how do you decide? The first step is to figure out how you plan on utilizing the pen. If it’s for everyday use, a ball point pen is your best choice. If you’re a student, a roller ball pen would be a better choice. It delivers a better writing experience and will stand up to excessive use. If you’re seeking a pen for drawing and coloring purposes, you should choose one of many gel pens that are on the market.

Regardless of what writing pen you end up selecting, with the new pen technology in the marketplace today, odds are you’ll end up with a great choice.

ConcordSupplies.com — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:24:50 +0000

Breakfast, The Most Important Meal

We’ve all heard it: “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!” It’s also the meal that most people forgo, if they skip one. Whether it’s to lose weight or because you’re too tired to get up, more people find reasons to skip breakfast daily. A few well-chosen supplies in the break room can make breakfast a n0-brainer.

Don’t Skip Breakfast

If you regularly skip breakfast to save time, remember that eating a wholesome, nutritious morning meal will most likely save you time in the long run. By refueling your brain and your body, you’ll be more efficient. Likewise, according to research, skipping meals, especially breakfast, can actually make weight control more difficult. Those who skip breakfast tend to eat more than usual at the next meal or indulge in high-calorie snacks.

Cereal is Easy Preparation

Preparing a good breakfast can be as quick and easy as splashing some milk over cereal. Single serving cereal cups are available in many varieties. Hot cereals, such

as oatmeal, are also available. If refrigeration isn’t readily available, try shelf-stable milk, which has long been an available staple in Europe. If even a bowl of cereal with milk sounds like too much, try a healthy breakfast bar, or bring a piece of fruit from home.

Any way you slice it, breakfast will help you perform better throughout your day.
