Blank Checks Are For Professionals

October 10th, 2012 | Posted by HeinreichS in Blank Checks | Forms - (0 Comments)

blank checksA new business that has just started out and establishing itself has employees that need to be paid either weekly or bi-weekly.  This means they need to be handed paychecks that they can cash.  While paying in cash might be simpler, yours might not be the kind of business that carries around that much hard cash in hand to pay your employees using that method.  And maybe the employees themselves are not comfortable with carrying around cash.  So, paychecks are your answer to the two problems posed.

With the right accounting department and software you can print out your own paychecks your employees can easily and safely deposit or cash at their own leisure.  Apple Forms offers a number of blank checks you can use as a template with which you can design and print out as you see fit.  Printing out your own paycheck means not having to go to the bank to provide you with checks; cutting out this middle man means saving time and money in the long run.  Remember, when designing your checks, be sure to put your company’s logo on it as a clever and effective way to advertise.

Promotional Pads Promote!

October 3rd, 2012 | Posted by HeinreichS in Forms | printing paper - (0 Comments)

printed formsWorking in an office means being a part of meetings and jotting down a few notes.  You use these notes to work on projects or you pass them on to your other coworkers.  Most people use promotional pads to write on since carrying around loose leaf paper is not a practical idea when going from meeting to meeting.  While sticky notes may serve the same purpose, their small size makes them impractical for writing down a slew of notes from a meeting that can last a hour or more; you would most likely run out of sticky notes before the meeting is done!

Promotional pads that have your company’s slogan and/or emblem on each page is also an excellent way to promote your business.  When in a meeting with a client or prospective client, you can exchange notes and give them a slip of paper with your company’s logo on it.  If you are an exhibitor of an expo or convention, you can lay out a bunch of notepads on your booth that people can take for free and they are free to use it as they will.  They might even disseminate sheets of paper with your company’s branding to other people.

If you are interested in purchasing promotional pads and/or printed forms, visit Apple Forms today.

Packages & Labels

September 27th, 2012 | Posted by HeinreichS in Packing Labels | shipping labels - (0 Comments)

integrated labelsWhen readying packages to be shipped, an important item that needs to be used are shipping labels.  A label clearly stating who the shipper is and who it is being shipped to means accountability and it allows the delivery person to deliver the package to the right place.  Besides the label alone, most packages are shipped with an invoice; this document tells the recipient how much the item was, what company sent it out, who may have packed the box, and delivery method and speed.  Most of the time, the person or company that shipped the package out in the first place has a copy of it for their own records – either kept on a computer or an actual paper copy.  Years ago, companies would make separate invoices and then create a label; now, companies can save time by using integrated labels.

It not only saves time but money as well.  Instead of using paper printing out a label AND an invoice and therefore using two sheets of paper and almost twice as much ink, an integrated label cuts paper usage and ink usage at the same time.  By cutting back on both of these things, you will save a lot of money in the long run.

Request Forms

September 17th, 2012 | Posted by HeinreichS in Forms - (0 Comments)

requisition formsOffice life is made up work, routine meetings, lunch and coffee breaks, clocking in and out, and lots of paperwork.  Having to deal with paperwork is a common sight amongst the desk jockeys in the workplace but it is made so much easier with printed forms.  Especially forms that have already been printed out and waiting for people to use.

Let us talk about a common form many offices, especially large ones, may use on a regular basis: the requisition form.  This piece of paper allows a person to request certain items or office equipment they need to perform whatever tasks they need to get done for the day.  Requisition forms are especially important for requesting higher priced office equipment like furniture and computers.  The company that owns and provides the requested items needs to keep track of their inventory; for one thing, they need to figure out how much of each item they have and if they need to purchase any more, and they also need to keep track of who is getting what.  A form for this purpose not only expedites the request process but creates a paper trail with which to ensure everything goes where it needs to be and accountability is created.

What You Should Use Packing Labels For

September 10th, 2012 | Posted by HeinreichS in Packing Labels | shipping labels - (0 Comments)

packing labelsPacking labels are very useful and convenient items to use for both companies and individual people themselves.  The question needs to be asked: where would one need to use shipping labels?  Here are a few:

  1. Shipments to customers.  Naturally, a company would want to send out their goods to their customers with as much haste as possible.  Labels help in this regard because each label has all the necessary information written on it: the addresses for both the shipper and receiver, as well as any pertinent information.  Labels allow for more accurate shipping and creates much less confusion that someone haphazardly writing on the box in the hopes that it does not rub off during the shipping process and/or it is legible.
  2. Mailing letters.  The reasons is pretty much the same as for companies shipping products to customers.  Handwritten addresses, while charming at times, can be detrimental to the delivery process.  This is especially true if the letter being sent is an official document of some sort or a bill that needs to be paid; you want to use a shipping label to remove the chance of any mistakes happening on where it is going.  This, combined with a word processor and printer will eliminate the problem completely.

The Convenient Nature of Labels & Forms

September 3rd, 2012 | Posted by HeinreichS in Forms | Packing Labels | shipping labels - (0 Comments)

integrated labelsBusinesses and individual people use labels and forms every day when they have to ship out items.  Even when receiving items, forms and labels are used to present information that can be seen and understood with a simple glance.

While many people are used to just handwriting two addresses on a package or letter, this method leaves much to be desired.  For one thing, the person who has to write the sender’s and receiver’s addresses may not have the best handwriting around.  If neither of the addresses are legible, the shipping company or post office might just toss the package or letter away or hold on to it until someone claims it.  Also, it wastes time to have to write out the addresses.  Integrated labels removes both of these problems.

These labels can be fed into a printer and have someone simply input all necessary information into a computer’s word processor and have that print out onto the sheet.  There is little to no room for mistakes so you can count on that package or document getting where it needs to go.

Things You Need Printed Forms For

August 27th, 2012 | Posted by HeinreichS in Forms - (0 Comments)

printed formsStarting up an office means not only having the right office furniture and equipment, it also means having the right printed forms to officiate things and keep record of important data concerning the company and its employees.  Need to know where to begin?  Here are two forms you should consider ordering custom made from Apple Forms:

  • Supply request forms.  Every office needs supplies for their employees to use.  From small things like pens and notepads and paperclips, to desktop PCs, laptops, and chairs.  These forms allows employees to make a formal request of supplies and allows the company to accurately keep track of who gets what; this will combat the waste of money that usually happens when someone simply takes what they “need” from the supply closet.
  • Vacation request forms.  These forms are most likely one of the most popularly requested forms because we all need to go on vacation every now and then.  Employees need a way to officially tell their managers and/or bosses that they plan to take a couple days off from work to relax.  This is particularly useful for the Human Resources department since they need to keep track of who is working on what days and who is not.  They can also keep track of how many vacation days a person has used.

Using Integrated Labels

August 20th, 2012 | Posted by HeinreichS in Packing Labels | shipping labels - (0 Comments)

integrated labelsWarehouses, online retailers, and shipping center need integrated labels to ship out their items efficiently and reliably.  Labels tell the shipper where the package comes from and to whom it needs to be delivered to.  By printing out labels you will eliminate shipping errors that can happen with illegible names and addresses that are written by hand.  These happen often enough to be a waste of time and money, and that is  something you want to avoid.  And quite frankly, it is easily avoided by simply printing out the labels.

Since integrated labels are part of the form, it is easy for shippers and warehouse workers to remove the label from the paper and stick it on the box, and then stick the rest of the form in the box and seal it up.  The rest of the form can have the invoice printed on it and the customer will be able to keep that for their own records.  Having both parts on the same sheet to be used in this manner definitely saves a lot of time and effort; think about how much of both, as well as money, you would need to waste to print out the forms separately from the labels.

Your Business is Going to Need These Forms

August 13th, 2012 | Posted by HeinreichS in Forms | shipping labels - (0 Comments)

printed formsWhen starting up your business you are going to need a lot of things to get the ball rolling.  Obviously you are going to need the working capital to fund your organization but you are also going to require personnel, computer equipment, and office supplies.  An important part of the office supplies you need are printed forms.  These forms will help expedite certain aspects of office life that are mostly mundane and time-consuming.

Employee application forms are easily one of the most used forms a business has.  You are going to need forms like this for anyone interested in applying for a position in your company.  It helps to have many of these forms if you run a small business like a coffee shop or retail store because it helps you keep track of who is interested and who has the most potential to be part of the team.

Another form that you should have is paid time off forms.  These forms are necessary for medium to large size businesses because it helps keep track of who has off on what days and how much the vacationer will be getting reimbursed for their time off.  This helps the HR department keep track of scheduling.

The Printed Forms Every Office Should Have

August 3rd, 2012 | Posted by HeinreichS in Forms - (0 Comments)

printed formsEvery office has an abundance of paper; from notepads and notebooks to loose leaf paper and printed forms, it is hard to imagine an office that does not use any number of these things at least once a day.  But when taking a closer look at pre-printed forms, which are the ones that tend to be used the most?  The list below should help answer that question:

  • Paid leave or absence forms.  These might be the most common forms used in any office and for obvious reasons.  Employees just cannot tell a colleague and/or a manager that they want to take a leave of absence and expect it to stick when the higher-ups ask; a form dedicated to this will help inform the right people and make it official.
  • Benefits forms.  These can be almost anything from dental and medical to store and gym benefits; people who want to take full advantage of their job and the perks should have a form they can fill out to say as much.
  • Office supply request forms.  You ran out of pens?  Paperclips?  Do you need a new desktop PC?  A request form allows the company to know who is getting what and allows them to take accurate inventory of their supplies.
