Q2 is a fresh start — new quarter, new goals, and the perfect opportunity to audit and restock your office supplies before the pace picks up. Running out of basic supplies mid-quarter disrupts workflows and costs more in lost productivity than the supplies themselves. Here's your Q2 restock guide.
Document Organization Supplies
Filing systems degrade over time as folders fill up and labels fade. Q2 is the time to refresh. The 70-pack color-coded hanging file folders with 1/5-cut tabs gives you enough folders to reorganize every active category. For teams that have grown since Q1, the 60-pack hanging file folders adds capacity without over-buying.
Check your desk organizer situation. If paper is piling up on surfaces, add a 4-tier clear paper organizer or the 4-pack stackable paper tray organizer to create a proper active-document system at every workstation.
Fasteners and Clips
Binder clips and paper clips are the most frequently depleted office supply — and the most disruptive when they run out. Restock with the 320-piece assorted paper clips and binder clips set for a comprehensive all-sizes supply. For color-coded document systems, the 400-piece colored paper clips and binder clips set keeps your filing system visually organized through the quarter.
For heavy document bundles, keep the 24-pack extra-large 3-inch jumbo binder clips on hand — they handle thick contracts, project files, and quarterly reports without failing.
Shipping and Packaging Supplies
If your business ships products, Q2 is the time to build your buffer before summer volume increases. Restock assorted size shipping boxes and 24-roll premium packing tape. Check that every packing station has a working tape dispenser gun — replace any that are worn or stiff.
Archive Storage
Q1 documents that are complete but must be retained need to move out of active filing and into archive storage. The 12-pack Bankers Box file storage boxes are the standard for quarterly archiving — label each box with the quarter, year, and contents before stacking.
Power and Safety Supplies
Check every power strip and surge protector in your office. Replace any showing wear, discoloration, or tripped surge indicators. The 6-outlet metal power strip with individual switches and 1200J surge protection is a reliable replacement that adds per-device control to every workstation.
Build Your Q2 Restock List
Walk every workstation and storage area with a clipboard. Note what's low, what's missing, and what needs replacing. Order everything at once to consolidate shipping costs and ensure your team starts Q2 fully equipped. A well-stocked office is a productive office — and the investment is always worth it.
