A good organisation is key in an office. Staying organised is one of the easiest ways to have all the job done in the needed time, while keeping track of everything in the office. And while boxes, drawers and the numerous desk organisers will help you have your things neatly organised, people often forget about one important thing – the pencil case. This is maybe one of the most overlooked accessories, and the truth is that it’s a crucial one as it will help you have your pen and stationery things safe and well organised.
And while some of you may think of them as a school item, the truth is that these office essentials have come a long way since school. The cases designed for office use are sleeker, more stylish and functional, and they are certainly nothing like the ones designed for school use.
The choice of professional pencil cases is huge, and they are the perfect choice for working professionals, artists and anyone who wants a modern and more elegant approach to cases for pencils. One thing is certain, regardless of the type you decide to choose, all of them will help you keep your things more organised.
A roll-up or also known as a wrap case, is usually made from a soft fabric to be easily wrapped. Once you unroll it, all of your items will be available and ready to use, which is quite convenient. Plus, these cases are compact, versatile and easy to use.
As the name suggests, these cases are like sleeves and can come with or without a closure. An important thing to keep in mind is that these cases are designed to use one to several pencils and no more, making them ideal for keeping only the most essential or favourite ones in your hand.
The most interesting thing about this case is that it opens like a tray, and you can easily see and have access to everything inside it. This one is amongst the most favoured types of cases because it’s easy to store, versatile, and it doesn’t take up that much of desk/drawer space.
The choice of materials comes down to two different things: hard and soft materials.
As the name suggests, these cases are hard and mainly made from plastic. Given the fact that the outer material of these cases is hard, this explains the fact that they also offer increased protection to pens from any damage and external force.
The only downside of these cases isn’t their weight (because plastic is light), but the lack of padding on the inside, which will mainly cause the pens to rattle around when moving the box. However, if the case is designed to sit on your desk, there really isn’t anything about which you should worry.
Soft cases are usually made from soft material. The choice of materials is huge, so the one you choose should mainly depend on your needs, budget and preferences. For instance, you can choose ones made from nylon, polyester, faux leather, genuine leather, silicone and even vinyl. Just like any other type of case, these ones also range in shape, structure, colour, pattern and size.
Unlike the hard ones, these cases are soft on the inside as well, so you won’t have to worry about your pens getting scratched or damaged on the inside. These bags are flexible and easy to clean, because most of them allow for being washed, however, when it comes to protection from external forces, expect no protection at all.
When in the search for the right case, make sure to take into account some of the most important features so that you can make the right choice.
In case you have some luxury, stylish and expensive pens to keep, make sure to invest in a case that will protect and keep them safe. Ideally, you should choose ones with an excellent outer protective shell, like that of hard cases.
The size of this case should mainly depend on the type and amount of pens and pencils you plan to keep there. For instance, if you are one of those people who want to have pencils in different colours while carrying some extra things with you, like markers in different colours, for instance, then you should certainly invest in a larger case. Otherwise, you need a medium or smaller-sized case.
If planning to carry several different pencils with you, choosing a case with compartments is a good idea. This will help you stay more will help you keep them all organised.
This feature is something that not all people want, but if you love the idea of having a clear view of everything you carry in your bag, then you should certainly choose a case with a clear view.
These are some of the most important features you should look for in a case. Once you have all of this into account, what’s left is to choose the right colour and design.
