Choose From Different Types of TRU RED Pens and Highlighters
This brand’s pen collection includes ballpoint, dry gel, and marker pens, as well as highlighters. A ballpoint pen has a writing tip made of a small hard sphere that uses an oil-based ink. A gel pen uses a water-based ink that flows smoothly out of its tip and doesn’t clump. Choose this type if looking for a pen that’s suitable for writing and drawing. TRU RED uses quick-drying ink in its gel pens. This makes them less prone to smearing.
In addition to pens, the brand offers highlighters and markers. Highlighters are marker pens with wide chisel tips capable of writing thin and broad lines. These writing tools are ideal for highlighting and color-coding printed text. There are two varieties of TRU RED markers: dry erase units and permanent ones. Choose dry erase markers to write on a whiteboard. These pens also write on glass, and their marks are easy to wipe away. Permanent markers leave lasting marks that are resistant to water and fading. Use them to make signs, take notes, and label shipping packages.
Improve Productivity and Organization With TRU RED Office Supplies
TRU RED makes softcover and hardcover notebooks and journals for home and office users. The collection offers mini notebooks that can serve as pocket planners, and large units suitable for taking notes in classes and meetings. These note-taking books and pads are available with ruled, dotted, and graph pages. Consider a wire-bound notebook with perforated sheets if you plan on removing the pages. Those that use leather-like stitch binding are ideal for professional work settings and client meetings.
Office users can keep their desks tidy and organized by arranging stationery, documents, and small supplies in desktop organizers and sorters, as well as letter trays. Free up desk space by storing folders in wall-hanging files. Use TRU RED scissors to trim paper documents and craft supplies. These come in adult and kids’ sizes, and have high-strength, forged stainless steel and titanium blades and handles.
Is It Best to Use Retractable or Capped TRU RED Pens?
Both caps and retractable mechanisms protect pen tips from damage and keep inks from drying out. Caps prevent potential ink leakage, while retractable models eliminate lost caps. Consider how you use and keep pens when choosing between the two protective options.
Are TRU RED Highlighters and Markers Suitable for Classroom Use?
Yes. They write with nontoxic inks that are safe for kids to use. The brand’s permanent markers also use low-odor ink formulas. The squircle-shape barrels of these markers and highlighters improve grip and prevent the writing implements from rolling off users’ desks.
What Is the Difference Between TRU RED Crosscut and Micro-Cut Shredders?
A crosscut shredder cuts paper in a crosshatch pattern. This pattern makes it difficult to piece documents back together after shredding. A micro-cut shredder is also a crosscut unit, but it shreds paper into even smaller bits so they’re even harder to put back together. Consider a micro-cut model if security is a bigger concern, but opt for a crosscut unit if shredding speed is more important.
