My parents have been retired for almost 20 years and enjoy traveling together very much. They have 5 daughters, 19 grandkids and 4 great-grandchildren to visit in addition to taking trips to places they’ve always wanted to experience. American Stationery carries Gold Stamped Luggage Tags, Big ‘n’ Bright Luggage Tags and Engraved Luggage Tags. These personalized and durable markets are perfect for them! They don’t have to worry about someone else picking up their luggage by mistake. Like everything that American Stationery sells these luggage tags are quality products—they can stand up to any rough trearment they may encounter. I can’t always travel with my parents; but I can help make their adventures less stressful by helping them locate their luggage as soon as it slides onto the baggage carousel! —Mindy Mac

Everyone knows that teachers are constantly writing, whether it’s on the chalkboard, on homework or notes to parents. A main part of a teacher’s job is to stay connected to her students and their parents. It is time consuming and probably a little daunting but it must be done. There’s no reason why it can’t be done on nice stationery. If the stationery is already personalized with the teachers name and information it saves a lot of writing as well as time. Even the busiest on the go parent will take time to appreciate a nice-looking note with the teacher’s name and contact information clearly printed. Teachers can customize any of our Correspondence Cards with their name. The professional memo pads are also a good choice because of the amount of information you can have printed. The teacher can not only have their name, but the school’s name, their room number, phone number, and email address. You can even get creative and show your school spirit by getting the paper and ink color to match the school’s colors.

What you want your Business Stationery to say Of course, the message you want to send will vary depending on your company, but there are some constants that you want to convey. No matter what your business is, you want your business stationery to deliver the message that "we have really got it together and can get the job done." Coordinated business stationery delivers that message unequivocally. When everything from your business cards to your letter stationery to your invoices includes the same design elements, you subtly establish your company as truly professional. Branding is more than a logo There is more to a coordinated appearance than just putting your logo on everything. Every design element of every piece of stationery should coordinate to present a polished image that is unmistakably your own. Every time a customer or contact sees a piece of paper from your office, they should immediately recognize that it came from your office. That is what branding is all about — creating an impression and then making certain that every time your company is seen, it fits that image. That means that all of your stationery, from business cards to invoices to executive correspondence cards carries...Read More

When you are doing business, image is a vital part of your success. Whether you are a small, home-based business with just yourself as an employee or a huge multi-national company with thousands of workers, your business image is a key part of your ability to connect with clients and associates. These days, the popular term for it is ‘branding’. In the old days, business consultants called it what it is — building an image. Any business consultant will tell you that one of the vitally important tools in branding is your business stationery. Business stationery is more than just your letterhead, though your company’s official letterhead stationery is certainly important. The term stationery encompasses every bit of paper that your company uses in communicating with its customers and associates. That means letterhead, envelopes, invoices, shipping labels, calling cards, calendars and presentation folders — to name just a few. In order to make the best impression on prospective customers and business contacts, you need to first define your brand — and then make sure that every single piece of communication that leaves your office carries through on the theme. Coordinated office stationery and business stationery make it easy to keep...Read More
