History of stationery
Initially the term stationery refers to all products sold by a stationary, whose names indicate that the book store is in a fixed place, usually near the university, and permanently, while medieval trade is mainly carried out by traveling salesmen (including chapmen, who sell books) and others (such as farmers and craftsmen) in markets and fairs. That is a special term used between the 13th and 15th centuries in the culture of the manuscript. The Stationers' company previously held a monopoly over the publishing industry in the UK and was responsible for copyright regulations.
In the modern sense including personal writing material, stationery has become an important part of good social ethics, especially since the Victorian era. Some use of stationery, such as sending artificial reply cards to wedding invitations, has been transformed from offensive to inappropriate.
The use and marketing of stationery is partially replaced by electronic media. The stationery is intrinsically linked to paper and written processes, personalized communication, and many stationery writing techniques that are used, with different wants and costs. The most familiar techniques are letterpress printing, embossing, engraving and thermographic printing (often confused with thermography). Flat printing and offset printing are regularly used, especially for low-cost or informal needs.

Use of stationery
Letterpress
Letterpress is a method of printing multiple identical copies that require impressive characters on a page. Prints may be ink or blind but are usually done in one color. Motifs or designs can be added as many letterpress machines use moving plates to hold hands.
Single document
When a document needs to be created, it can be handwritten or printed specifically by a computer printer. Multiple copies of the original one can be produced by multiple printers using multipurpose stationery. Typing with a typewriter is outdated, which has been replaced by preparing documents with word processing and printing.
Thermographic
Thermographic printing is a process that involves several stages but can be implemented in low cost manufacturing processes. This process involves printing the desired design or text with ink that remains wet, rather than drying contact with paper. The paper is then sprinkled with a powder polymer attached to the ink. Paper is emptied or shaken, mechanically or by hand, to remove excess powder, and then heated to near combustion. Wet inks and polymeric and dry bonds, resulting in an increased print surface similar to the results of the engraving process.
Embossing
Embossing is a printing technique used to create surfaces that appear in the stock of converted paper. This process depends on the dead die pressing the paper into a form that can be observed on the front and rear surface.
Carving
Engraving is a process that requires a design to be cut into plates made of a relatively hard material. It is a technology with a long history and requires significant skill and experience. Finished plates are usually coated ink, and then the ink is removed from all parts of the plate that are not scratched. The plate is then pressed into paper under great pressure. The result is a slightly raised design on the surface of the paper and covered in ink. Because of the cost of processes and expertise required, many consumers opt for thermographic printing, a process that produces the same print surface, but through different means at lower cost.

School supplies
Many stores selling stationery also sell other school supplies for students in primary and secondary education, including pocket calculators, display boards, compasses and prottors, lunch boxes, and the like.
Retail retail sales of back-to-school products from office super stores grew 2 percent in August 2010 compared with August 2009, after July 2010 showing flat performance. The return to school season for school supplies had the best performance in the second half of August, as many consumers waited until the last minute to buy their inventory.
