Office Equipment
Are all the supplies regularly used in offices by businesses and other
organizations? It includes small, expendable, daily use items such as paper
clips, post-it notes, and staples, small machines such as holepunches,
binders, staplers and laminators, writing utensils and paper, but also
encompasses higher-cost equipment like computers, printers, fax
machines, photocopiers and cash registers, as well as office furniture such
as chairs, cubicles, filing cabinet, and armoire desks. Two very common
medium-to-high-cost office equipment items before the advent of suitably
priced word processing machines and PCs in the 1970s and 1980s
were typewriters and adding machines.
