“Without each one of the Staples / Marke team, our go live launch date would not have been possible. The team showed true dedication and determination. The time and effort put in was just amazing. The professionalism and the endless hours spent was impressive.
It feels good to operate with a team that is so self-reliant and motivated and who, despite having a busy schedule, made the project look easy. The amount of effort that the team put into the job to complete it was tremendous. The energy levels and the sincerity which was displayed were exemplary. You not only motivate others but also push them to give their all at work. I am so blessed to have been able to work with all of you.”
“We work closely with Marke Creative due to their expert local market knowledge and flexibility to react to local market conditions, giving us an advantage to offer a market-specific range while reacting to any potential issues effectively for our dealers and end-customers. The Marke Creative team represent many of our core values: by challenging the norm and continually offering a range that excites and ignites the brand passion. Having worked with Marke Creative for a number of years, the team’s passion for what they do shows through in everything they do.“
“My experience with Marke Creative representatives is that they always go above and beyond. Communication is great. If something is out of stock, or the lead time may take longer than average, they always source a great alternative for me. The team are very knowledgeable about their products. In light of this, I have found that the quality of the products has been superb.”
“We were particularly impressed by the level of commitment and professionalism that characterises the organisational culture at Marke Creative. We also recognise and admire Marke Creative’s passion for sustainability which was the theme of our event.”
“Your support, ideas, thinking and can-do attitude enabled us to develop a sustainable solution our exec team were happy to stand behind and also one we could use across our 3000 convenience store estate.”
The shapes of your letters and the tactile feel of the paper and pen
Where your words fall on your page
Details – folded corners, ink colour or page marks
Our brains absorb these physical cues which triggers our memory. Whilst digitally taking notes has its benefits, handwriting is more tactile and spatial.
There’s something therapeutic about the controlled and delicate movements of handwriting. See our ideas* below on how you can enhance learning with our unique, customisable writing equipment designed to help you bring your ideas to life.
Notebooks

Coffee notebook
This notebook is made from coffee waste! The cover itself contains about 13 grams of coffee waste which is combined with a biological starch from the potato processing industry. If on average 1 cup of coffee creates 7 grams of waste – this notebook is made two cups of coffee waste! The paper is also recycled, eliminating deforestation in the production process.
Notebook made from stone waste
Did you know that 4 billion trees are cut down each year to make paper? This tree-free notebook is made form 80% stone waste with some resin (HDPE) to bind the stone powder. The advantages of using stone paper is that it uses less energy and resources (e.g. no trees, no water, no bleach and no toxins). Not only can this be used over and over again, it can be recycled infinitely too.

This classic soft cover notebook is available in wide variety of bright colours. Complete with a flexible cover, rounded edges, elasticated closure and ribbon bookmark. The one featured above contains ivory-coloured dotted pages so it’s a perfect mindfulness aid for bullet journaling but is also available with ruled, squared and plain paper.
Antimicrobial notebook
This isn’t your ordinary notebook – it has antibacterial qualities. The coating contains an additive called nano silver which stops bacteria from spreading across the notebook’s surface. Contains 96 lined pages for all-those important ideas with an elastic band closure and ribbon.
Recycled notebook

Coffee pen
This pen smells like coffee. That’s because it’s made from 40% of coffee grounds combined with 60% ABS. The world produces approximately 50 billion kilograms of coffee grounds each year so imagine how much of what is left over is thrown away. With this pen, you can help reduce this waste.
Ocean pen
This pen is a sustainable and socially responsible giveaway as its made from recycled ocean plastic (RPP). When you purchase this pen, you’ll be supporting Plastic Bank: a social enterprise in Canada that cleans up plastic waste from ocean while creating valuable opportunities in impoverished communities. The residents in Haiti and the Philippines are provided with vouchers in exchange for the waste they collect – this waste is then recycled into products like the ocean pen!
Milk-carton pen
This pen is made from recycled Tetra Pak drinks cartons. The paper and cellulose from these cartons are reused. Once polyethylene and aluminium are left over, they are processed into fine granules that create the milk-carton pen. The pen features a recycling symbol on its clip to showcase your commitment to corporate social responsibility.
Savings: 75% on fossil fuels, 90% on water, 70% on CO2 emissions (compared to using new raw materials).
RPET pen
This pen is made from 1 recycled PET bottle. You’ll be saving 75% on fossil fuels, and saving 5% on incineration. Using recycled bottles in this way means they’re less likely to end up in the ocean, reducing pollution. Recycling also creates jobs and by choosing recycled plastic products, you’re contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions by 70%.
