Stationery wholesale for European markets
We ship stationery, school and office supplies from Poland to shops, chains, office supply dealers and online sellers across the EU, and to the UK, Switzerland and Norway. Each country has its own label language, packaging registration and school calendar.
The pages below give the practical facts for stationery wholesale in each European market: typical road delivery times from eastern Poland, what goes on the label, how VAT works on a B2B invoice and which packaging system applies. The rules change, so we confirm them on every order.

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge VAT to businesses outside Poland?
For EU businesses with a valid VAT number confirmed in VIES, we invoice without Polish VAT under the reverse charge, and you account for VAT in your country. Polish customers receive an invoice with Polish VAT.
Who registers the packaging in my country?
EPR duties usually fall on the business that first places the packaged goods on the market in that country. When we deliver to your business, that is often you. We give you packaging weights by material, including blister cards, display boxes and outer cartons, for your registration and reports.
Can you put my country’s language on the label?
Yes. Warnings, instructions and GPSR details are printed in the languages you sell in, and we can put several languages on one label or blister card for multi-country ranges.
Do school start dates differ by country?
Yes. Most of Europe starts in September, while in Germany and Austria the start varies by region, from late July to mid-September. We work back from your earliest region when we plan back-to-school deliveries.
Do you ship to the UK and Norway?
Yes, with export documents from the EU. They have their own product and packaging rules, which we check per order.
How accurate are the delivery times?
They are typical road transit times after the goods are in Poland. Production and freight from the factory come before that, typically 8–12 weeks in total for a new order.
