Stationery wholesale for Austria
Stationery wholesale for Austrian stationery shops, bookshops, office supply dealers, online sellers and school suppliers. We deliver from Poland, typically within 3–4 working days by road.
Labels can be the same German labels as for Germany, but packaging rules are not: Austria works with licensed collection systems such as ARA and has its own rules for foreign sellers. School start varies by region, so back-to-school stock is planned from the earliest date.
What we offer Austrian buyers
Stationery shops and bookshops
Pens, notebooks, colouring sets and pencil cases in clear price tiers.
Back-to-school ranges
School supplies, school backpacks and stationery sets planned for an early summer delivery.
One label for German-speaking markets
German labels that work for Germany and Austria, with French and Italian added for Switzerland.
Packaging data for licensing
Weights by material and by household or commercial use, for your collection-system contract.

A summary for planning, not legal advice. The treatment of commercial packaging is less clear-cut; we check what applies per order.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the same labels as for Germany?
Usually yes: German instructions and warnings work in both countries. The packaging symbols and registrations differ, so the packaging artwork may need small changes.
Do I need a licence with ARA?
Household packaging placed on the Austrian market has to be licensed with an approved collection system, and ARA is one of them. When you buy from us and sell in Austria, check your obligations; we provide weights by material for blister cards, boxes and cartons.
Do you need an authorised representative in Austria to supply me?
No. The mandatory representative applies to foreign distance sellers shipping to consumers. We supply Austrian businesses.
When should Austrian shops order for back-to-school?
Catalogue goods ordered between January and April typically arrive in June–July. Own-brand notebooks, pens or pencil cases should be confirmed by about March, because factory holidays in late January–February stop production for several weeks.
Do you sell to Austrian consumers?
No. We supply businesses only.
