 3M just launched 2 lines of labels; Post-It Removable Labels and 3M Permanent Labels. And as usual, the folks at 3M have come up with some new ideas.
Post-It Labels will stick where you put them, but can be moved later; just like a Post-It note. One of these new product types are removable name badges. If you've ever used a paper adhesive name badge you know how they curl up, and don't stay on. I can attest that the Post-It folks have fixed this problem. I recently played in a golf tournament and was given a Post-It name badge to wear. The name badge stayed on all day and the corners didn't curl at all. Post-It also offers full sheet labels, color coding labels, ID labels, file folder labels and new label pads.  3M also has produced a line of permanant labels. 3M permanent labels are available for shipping, file folders, and mailing. These labels include 3M's new Quick Lift design for fast labeling and since they're made by 3M (the Scotch tape people) they really stay put!
You can find these great new products in the 3M store on the BuyOnlineNow.com web site. |

 3M Keyboard Trays
Easily adjust your keyboard and mouse to your correct ergonomic position and work in comfort with the help of a 3M™ keyboard tray. There are many Adjustable Keyboard Tray (AKT) options to choose from today, making it difficult to determine which is the best solution for your situation. This quick guide will help explain the features that end users and specialists in the field find most important. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- StabilityStability, or rather instability - the degree of "bounciness" or "slop" in an AKT - impacts typing and mousing comfort. Minimizing this instability is essential for workplace productivity and is driven by the quality of the keyboard tray's construction. All Adjustable Keyboard Trays from 3M™ meet the ANSI/BIFMA x 5.5 - 1998 standard for stability and safety. Ease of AdjustabilityAKT height and tilt adjustability is essential for workstation ergonomics. Generally it is more advantageous for the height and tilt control mechanisms to be independent of each other. This way, the height of the keyboard can be adjusted without losing the tilt angle, and vice versa. There are typically three types of height adjustment systems: - Lift and lock, the easiest of the three, works by simply tilting upward to unlock, then back down to lock in place.
- Lever arm mechanism works by engaging and disengaging a hand-held lever.
- Star-knob mechanism works by loosening and then tightening a knob on the side of the arm. Typically, star-knob systems do not have separate controls for tilt and height adjustment.
Mousepad AdjustabilityMousepads on AKTs are generally available in two forms: - Not adjustable - integrated as part of the keyboard platform
- Adjustable - mouse platform is separate from the keyboard platform and has varying degrees of adjustability
Range of AdjustabilityAdjustable Keyboard Trays feature many degrees of adjustability, including height, tilt, lateral sliding and swivel. - Height -
- While seated at a standard 29" high desktop, AKT height will rarely need to go above the desktop. Many ergonomists recommend sit/stand capable workstations in which the worker can alternate throughout the day between sitting and standing at the workstation. This is beneficial because it varies the muscle groups used, increases blood flow and reduces the risk of repetitive stress injuries. AKTs with sit/stand capability enable this behavior and will typically rise several inches above the desktop.
- Tilt -
- Keyboard platforms should offer tilt adjustment in order to keep one's wrists in a neutral position. The greater the degree of negative tilt, or forward tilt, the more ergonomic the AKT is.
- Lateral Sliding -
- This feature enables users to adjust the left/right position of the keyboard to fit exact workstation configurations. Swivel. A common feature that enables users to adjust the position of their keyboard relative to the workstation.
Track & Arm LengthAKTs generally feature either a short (less than 17") or long (more than 21") track and arm length, each with unique benefits. - Long tracks and arms are compatible with corner workstations where the keyboard must extend beyond the edges of the desk. They will also work on regular straight-on workstations providing there is ample depth underneath the work surface.
- Short tracks and arms are generally less expensive and perfect for regular straight-on and especially shallow workstations. They are not suitable, however, for corner workstations where a longer length is required.
Wrist Rest ConstructionWrist Rests for both keyboard and mouse are essential to encouraging a neutral, ergonomic wrist position. Wrist Rests are made out of many materials including gel, foam and hard plastic. Gel-filled wrist rests provide the maximum comfort level, and all 3M™ AKTs feature gel-filled wrist rests for both keyboard and mouse.

BuyOnlineNow hopes to impress office supply customers with a fresh look and easy to navigate form on their brand new website redesign.
Rochester, MN (PRWEB) June 1, 2009 -- BuyOnlineNow.com has a new, updated look, and has added many features designed to help provide the best office supply purchasing experience possible for their customers.
BuyOnlineNow - Office Supply Superstore
Those familiar with BuyOnlineNow will immediately notice a big difference, especially in the aesthetics of the site. The homepage uses a similar layout as before, keeping the main office product categories, clearly tabulated at the top of the page and using a straightforward vertical form, but softens the colors and utilizes more images while keeping and organized and easy to look at perspective.
Text is sufficiently sized so that it is clear and easy to read, without being harsh and blocky. Text links have also been changed to a lighter shade of blue which allow them to still be clear and stand out, but still blend in with the overall visage of the page. Manufacturer pages have also taken on a new look, following a fairly uniformed layout, which is meant to help customers easily choose office products from many different manufacturers such as Dymo, Kensington and 3M.
While the looks are the most noticeable difference with the redesigned BuyOnlineNow, they are certainly not the only change that has been made. A new customer center has been created that will help customers manage their order history, account information, shopping lists and more. Also, customers are now able to save their office supply searches, so that when they return to the site, they can easily find and compare the products they are looking for.
Another new feature is the ability to save and manage multiple shipping addresses. This makes it easier for customers who need to ship office supplies and office furniture to multiple destinations. BuyOnlineNow also developed a faster checkout process to further enhance their customer's experience.
The last time BuyOnlineNow conducted a redesign was in 2005 and with internet trends constantly changing and moving faster, it was determined that the time was right to make a change.
Nate Ende, Director of Development at BuyOnlineNow explained the process this way, "There were a lot of things we wanted to accomplish with this new site. Along with the obvious, enhancing the performance of the site, creating a platform that would support our growth, and making the layout more appealing to our users, we wanted to really focus on improving the usability and the overall shopping experience. We knew we had an amazing team of motivated and innovative people, so we leveraged that at every step along the process of creating the new site, from developing the platform all the way through testing and deployment. With most of us being avid online shoppers ourselves, we knew there were a lot of things we could do to enhance our customer's experience and make it a site that better reflected who we are and our commitment to our customers and our industry."
BuyOnlineNow has become as successful as they are by always striving to do better than everyone else, and a big part of this is giving their customer's a safe, comfortable and welcoming place to shop.
About BuyOnlineNow.com: Bob Herman started a small online office supply company in the basement of his home over ten years ago, and after growing at an incredible rate, BuyOnlineNow currently employs over 35 people, and stocks over 100,000 office products in multiple warehouses throughout the United States and Canada.
