5 Back-to-School Items

Leaves are changing, and summer is starting to fizzle out, so you know what that means: it’s back-to-school time! If you’re heading to school this fall, here are five essential things you need to make this school year a good one.

1. Three-Ring Binders

These supplies are a school staple, and they’re essential to keeping assignments and papers organized. There are even antimicrobial ones so you and your fellow students can stay healthy. To customize each binder for its different subjects, ensure to get ones with a clear overlay cover.

2. Index Tabs 

For better binder organization, get yourself some index tabs. That way, you’ll be able to separate your work by subject and stay on top of your assignments.

3. A Stapler 

Teachers don't like receiving homework that isn't properly fastened. To stay in your teacher's good books, ensure you have a high-quality stapler available and a good supply of staples. We even have miniature ones that easily fit into overstuffed backpacks.

4. A Coil Binding Machine 

You can use a coil binding machine to put together your reports and term papers if you really want to please your teacher. The Akiles RubiCoil 4:1 Punch is a good option because it's small, inexpensive, comes with a crimper and makes it easy to produce professional-looking documents.

5. PPE Supplies

If you're going to be going into a school or classroom setting, you will need important PPE items like masks in order to comply with government guidelines. Not only that, but you will also want to keep wipes and sanitizer on you so you can wipe down surfaces and clean your hands when soap and water are not available.   This is just a small list of essentials you will need to stock up on this Fall.
