The Germs Stop Here: Top Antimicrobial Office Supplies

Stop Illness from Spreading in the Office with Benjamin’s Favorite Antimicrobial Office Supplies

Covid 19. The flu. Colds. Allergies…Ewww. No matter what time of year, it seems like there’s always something going around that brings germs into the office. In such a fishbowl environment, coworkers need to stay on their toes to prevent the spread of illness.

Okay, we know what you’re thinking:

• We spray everything down with disinfectants.
• Our janitorial team takes extra sanitation precautions.
• Everyone washes their hands and uses hand sanitizer.
• Your employees each have a “Covid-19” kit at their workstation 

What more can we possibly do to stop germs in the office?!

The answer: Use antimicrobial office supplies!

What’s the Difference Between Normal Office Supplies and Antimicrobial Office Supplies?

With normal office supplies, each time a person uses something, like a stapler or pen, germs are transferred from the hand to the piece. That stapler now becomes a breeding ground for those germs. The next person who touches it now has all those yucky microorganisms on their hand. If they then touch their face…it’s game over.

Antimicrobial office supplies are simply office supplies with germ-fighting coating. This coating prevents the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms, so you can use office supplies cleanly. Yup, it’s that simple: you can slow and inhibit the spread of germs just by switching up your office supplies.

Here are Benjamin Office Supply’s Top 10 Favorite Antimicrobial Office Supplies

• 1. Antimicrobial Stapler

  

  Keep it all together while you work with a heavy-duty stapler. Not only can it handle big tasks, but it protects the user as well!

• 2. Ergonomic Antimicrobial Keyboard

  

  Antimicrobial protection isn’t the only benefit of this keyboard. Its ergonomic design ensures that you work healthy for your musculoskeletal system as well. No more cramped wrists and fingers with this one!

• 3. Antimicrobial File Folders

  

  Files are constantly being rifled through and stored in dark cabinets, which means germs love them. Not so with filing folders that have antimicrobial protection. Germs from dirty hands don’t stand a chance.

• 4. Antimicrobial Desk Pad

  

  Let’s face it— you touch your desk more than anything else in the office, making it a breeding ground for microorganisms. By using an antimicrobial desk pad, you can protect your work surface and yourself from germs.

• 5. Antimicrobial Secure Reception Pen

  

  Visitors have to sign in at the reception desk and the administrative professional has to sign for package deliveries. Stop both germs & pen thieves with this antimicrobial pen that secures to the reception desk surface.

• 6. Gel Antimicrobial Wrist Rest

  

  What’s better than an ergonomic wrist rest that makes your hands feel better? One that’s designed to help keep you healthy!

• 7. Antimicrobial Scissors 8”

  

  Cut germs out of the picture with antimicrobial scissors. No matter how often you have them in your hand, these scissors won’t allow the bacteria on your hand to remain on their surface.

  Binders are excellent organizational tools. Unfortunately, every time they’re pulled off the shelf bacteria gets transferred to and from their surface. With antimicrobial protection, you can organize, pull, and store all day long with minimal risk of germ contamination.

• 10. Antimicrobial Adjustable Hole Puncher

  

  In order to put your documents into an antimicrobial binder, you’ll need a hole puncher. Hole punchers are one of the most commonly shared pieces of office supplies by coworkers. Protect each other by choosing one with antimicrobial coating.
