Are you opening or thinking about opening your own business? Do you love stationery? Me too! So, I have compiled a list of our must-have business supplies that our business uses on the daily! After looking through countless reviews and personally using the products, our Top 10 list is below. We have also included some additional recommendations for related products.
#1: POLONO PL60 Thermal Label Printer
The POLONO thermal printer comes with 1 Thermal Printer, 1 Label Holder, 1 Power Cord, 1 USB Cable, 1 Quick Start Guide and a U Disk containing the printer driver, installation guide, setup guide, and user manual. It is not bluetooth compatible, but we have had no issues thus far and it prints perfectly. It is supported by 5.9 inches/s (150mm/s) high-speed printing which can print 72 labels per minute, reducing unnecessary time wastage. What's great about this printer is that it is a thermal label printer that requires NO ink, saving you money in the long run! It is definitely a must-have if you ship your own products and a way more affordable thermal label printer as compared to others available on the market.

It includes two heated rollers to produce a high-quality, professional, bubble and wrinkle-free results.

#3: Canon PIXMA TS3500 Wireless All-in-One Color Inkjet Printer
I personally love this versatile printer. Not only can it print documents up to sizes 8.5x14, but it is also a photo printer and scanner simultaneously! It is compatible with the included USB and Wi-Fi. It also connects to Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant! The printer also includes: 4" x 6" Photo Paper Sample Pack (3 Sheets PP-301); Manual, and Other Documentation; Set of Starter (PG-275/CL-276) Ink Cartridges; and the Power Cord.
Additionally, I also bought a printer stand that fits perfectly with the printer, features a drawer and bottom storage, and is on wheels! It has made moving the printer around my work area very convenient - and it can easily be stored anywhere, including under your desk for under $40!
