There is a difference between these two products and let’s be honest about the merits of both.
 
Scotch Tape by 3M is far easier to apply. It makes no noise when separating from the reel (we think that’s a positive) and it is very clear on paper. It also has the ability for the user to [...]

 
 
What amazes me is that there are so many storage boxes on offer. The whole point of a storage box is to put something in it and kinda forget it! What difference does it make if it is branded or unbranded?
 
It doesn’t need to do much. You want something that is going to be rigid [...]

 
 
Nobo Adhesive Gridding Tape (055034)
 
This useful little product works in conjunction with a whiteboard. Basically, it is a thin role of sticky black or red tape that can be used to produce grids on a whiteboard. This can be really helpful if you want to use a whiteboard to display statistics, such as laying out [...]

 
For the price difference between these different products it is most definitely worthwhile paying the extra and getting the magnetic board. For a start it allows you to use those great big colourful magnets, which can be placed around the board to mark things you want to draw attention to and help you express your [...]

 
There are so many different types of plastic pockets on the market, that they really need explaining.
 
Firstly you need to know which type of opening you want. Do you want to slip them in from the top (short edge) or do you want to slip them in from the side (the long edge)? The advantage [...]

 
 
We are impressed with the new Frixion Pens, we think they’re clever, really clever! We congratulate our friends at Pilot, someone there is pretty clever!!
 
The highlighter is especially clever. Anyone that can invent a highlighter that emits a bright glow that can be removed by a rubber is really clever. Especially when that rubber is [...]

 
Back in the early noughties, 3M had the idea to investigate how people used sticky tape. They concluded that the average length that a person would cut a piece of tape was 5cm. (How they found this out is a subject for another blog – stay awake at the back!)
 
They came up with the very [...]

 
 
As far as I can tell, the only difference between these two types of pens is that, when used on a Drywipe board, the permanent markers are a pain in the neck and can cause a problematic stain. Fortunately we are full of helpful stationery hints and you can see just how to remove these [...]

 
Well if sales are anything to go by the answer would have to be a resounding ....”yes”. Remember the old bottle and brush? As ever, the demise of one thing spawns the birth of another, in this case the correction mouse!
 
Ultimately certain office products tend to die away to become relics of history, residing only [...]

 
 
This is a problem that can be easily solved (preferably when no one is looking so you can milk your efforts to the full extreme by pretending it took ages!!)
Simply write over the marks with a normal Drywipe marker pen! Then rub the two messes out together. There must be some special chemical within the [...]
