New Employee Stationery Kit: A UAE Buying Guide for HR

Set out one black pen and a notebook or writing pad per person before induction. Add sticky notes only if staff use visible reminders. Keep paper clips and filing supplies at a shared station so you can replenish them where people actually use them.

What to buy for each desk

The Deli Q9 black 0.7 mm ballpoint comes in a 10-pack (AED 5.99) or a 50-pen box (AED 19.99 when checked). For eight hires receiving one pen each, buy one 10-pack and keep two spares. The box works out cheaper per pen, but makes sense only if you will use the extras. Deli E33 sticky notes come in four 100-sheet pads, each 51 × 51 mm. Split one set across four desks or keep it by the shared printer.

What to keep shared

The Maxi MX-PC50 box contains 100 removable 50 mm paper clips. Use them for temporary invoice groups or training handouts. For recurring paper filing, the Alba Rado 86611 is an individually sold lever arch file with a 3-inch spine. Assign it to the team that owns the records, and use approved secure storage for confidential documents.

FAQ

Does every hire need the same kit?

Give everyone the writing basics. Add a file for finance or admin only if the role uses paper records; a shared box of clips is usually enough for occasional handouts.

Is this a ready-made bundle?

No. Order the items separately. Check pack sizes, current prices and quantities before approving the purchase.
