Stationery Appreciation
Not only do we run our website specialising in the best cheap stationery but we also love to talk about it also. Sound surprising? Well there are many people out there who love stationery just as much as we do and are happy to shout about it! When we share information about the products and industry news we are always getting comments and enquiries from people wanting to know more. There are many places to find information on stationery but the best part is finding many people who have formed appreciation groups!
Index Office has its own Facebook group that can be found here. We were really happy to find that other groups also exist for stationery there. In particular ‘The Stationery Appreciation Society’, a group dedicated to all things stationery, such as pens, paper and highlighters.
Doing a search on the web uncovers many sites dedicated to the same thing. Wordpress has a whole category dedicated to stationery, people have blogs dedicated to all things stationery and even a huge exhibition on stationer in New York.
So don’t just take our word for it when it comes to all things stationery, there are many places on the WWW that will feed your desire for stationers.

Greener office supplies
Its hard to ignore environmental issues these days – which is a very good thing. Everyone has a responsibility to do their part to make sure they are reducing their carbon footprint, from recycling plastic bottles to the all important cutting down on unnecessary travel.
Index Office take environmental responsibility seriously and that is why we are sourcing stationery and office equipment that make the most of recycling and using recycled materials. Many electrical and computer companies are doing their best to use non hazardous materials and components in their microchips and using more energy efficient power supplies. Most it equipment such from monitors to flash memory cards are now made from recycled parts and made to a high specification.
Being green in the office is also the responsibility of every employee in the office. Many government awareness campaigns have outlined the importance in recycling paper and turning off lights to save power. We all have a responsibility to make sure we can save energy and also cut down on our emissions.
One such way to make the most of being green is to order your stationery online from your stationers. Index Office make it easy for business's and home users to shop at their convenience and reduce the need to fill out paper orders or make the trip down to the local superstore. With all the stationery and office supplies you will need in one place, why not save yourself the time (and energy) and shop responsibly online at Index Office.

Are You Sitting Comfortably?
Humans were not built for sitting hunched in front of a computer screen for hours - and that’s something we are spending more and more time doing. According to the Guardian, back pain affects 60 per cent of adults and costs British industry an estimated £5 billion a year.
If you are self employed or spend all day sitting in front of a computer your posture can have a big impact on your productivity and well-being. Investing in a new chair for could be a wise move in 2008.
At Index Office we stock a wide range of office furniture. We have a selection of seating designed for office workers who spend all day sitting at a desk. On our site you will also find a range of much luxurious Management Seating for those who want to treat themselves for the new year!
There are lots of factors to bear in mind when choosing a new chair. One of the main things to think about is adjustability – the chair needs to fit your body shape. The Spine Health site have some very useful information:

1.Elbow measure - First, begin by sitting comfortably as close as possible to your desk so that your upper arms are parallel to your spine. Rest your hands on your work surface (e.g. desktop, computer keyboard). If your elbows are not at a 90-degree angle, adjust your office chair height either up or down.
2.Thigh measure - Check that you can easily slide your fingers under your thigh at the leading edge of the office chair. If it is too tight, you need to prop your feet up with an adjustable footrest. If you are unusually tall and there is more than a finger width between your thigh and the chair, you need to raise the desk/work surface so that you can raise the height of your office chair.
3.Calf measure - With your bottom against the chair back, try to pass your clenched fist between the back of your calf and the front of your office chair. If you can’t do that easily, then the office chair is too deep. You will need to adjust the backrest forward, insert a low back support (such as a lumbar support cushion, a pillow or rolled up towel), or get a new office chair.
4.Low back support - Your bottom should be pressed against the back of your chair, and there should be a cushion that causes your lower back to arch slightly so that you don’t slump forward or slouch down in the chair as you tire. This low back support in the office chair is essential to minimize the load (strain) on your back. Never slump or slouch in the office chair, as that places extra stress on the structures in the low back, and in particular on the lumbar discs.
5.Resting eye level - Close your eyes while sitting comfortably with your head facing forward. Slowly open your eyes. Your gaze should be aimed at the center of your computer screen. If your computer screen is higher or lower than your gaze, you need to either raise or lower it to reduce neck strain.
6.Armrest - Adjust the armrest of the office chair so that it just slightly lifts your arms at the shoulders. Use of an armrest on your office chair is important to take some of the strain off your neck and shoulders, and it should make you less likely to slouch forward in your chair.
