Have a look at our list of the 10 best stationery online shops to stock up your need for beautiful notebooks and office supplies.
Whether for personal or commercial design projects, the agony of choice can be overwhelming because of the large number of online shops out there. When buying stationery online there is a significant disadvantage compared to buying in local stores—you cannot feel the paper’s surface. Hence, when buying those supplies online, you want to be sure to get only high-quality materials and that’s why I want to introduce you to 10 of the best stationery online shops offering a wide range of high-quality papers along with a range of pens, pencils, notebooks, etc.
1: The Journal Shop
With free worldwide delivery and flat rate delivery options, the Journal Shop is internationally known for a high-quality selection of designer stationery products. Customers from around the globe love their stellar customer service. If you need anything, just call, email, tweet or shine a big Batman-style TJS in the sky, they say.
2: Papersmiths
Papersmiths is another stationery online shop based in the UK and another one that is quite popular among professional graphic designers.

With the launch of the new online shop, they have added a ‘Lifestyle’ section and more products such as stationery and homeware.
