Ordering printed stationery and

office items

Branded stationery and oce items are available for

ordering through Kenyon’s stationery store, at

kenyon.go.customprintcenter.com. Users must be registered

with the store to order items; contact Adam Gilson at

gilsona@kenyon.edu to register for an account. Your Kenyon

network login will not work on the stationery store. The

stationery store accepts credit card for payment (including

the Kenyon purchasing card) and provides fast shipping and

low-quantity orders.

Oces at Kenyon often designate one or two users per oce

to order items rather than providing accounts for more

employees, but the choice is up to each oce.

Kenyon-branded, customizable employee name badges

are available through ELK Promotions, a Columbus-based

promotional products vendor. To browse the ELK Promotions

store visit www.elkpromotions.com/kenyon. An account is

not required.

HOW TO BROWSE THE STATIONERY STORE

Stationery and oce items are categorized by item type (e.g.,

#10 envelopes, letterhead, business cards, etc.). Because most

items are personalized for speciﬁc oces and departments,

it is easiest to enter the name of your oce, department, or

program in the search bar in order to display a list of available

products.

AVAILABLE ITEMS

The Kenyon stationery store contains a number of items,

both customized for individual oces and customizable for

individual employees:

• Business cards, customizable for individual employees

• A6 note cards, customizable for individual employees

• Name badges, customizable for individual employees

• Letterhead

• Envelopes (#10 and 9x12)

• Kenyon-branded notepads and sticy notes

NAME BADGES

In addition to the items listed above, Kenyon-branded

name badges, lanyards and pens are available from the ELK

Promotions store.

Tips for personalizing business

cards and name badges

The Kenyon stationery store allows you to make personalized

business cards and name badges for employees.

BUSINESS CARDS

The stationery store allows you to customize and order

your own business cards. Make sure to type and review your

information carefully; VistaPrint will print your card exactly

as you type it and will not provide refunds for errors entered

by users.

In the stationery store, each customizable piece of text is

contained within its own separate ﬁeld. The font and type

size for each ﬁeld is set and cannot be changed.

TITLE FIELDS

• Three ﬁelds are provided for titles. This accommodates

longer titles and also allows you to add other personal

information directly adjacent to your title — for

example, second title, oce name and pronouns.

• If your title takes up more than two lines, you will need

to add a line break manually. Add the line break in a way

that looks visually appropriate. Do not, for example,

add the break so that only one or two words ﬂows to the

second line. Try to balance line lengths.

• If you have a one-line title and want to add additional

information (e.g., pronouns), add this information to

the second title line, not the third. Do not separate ﬁelds

with blank lines of space.

CONTACT INFORMATION FIELDS

• At minimum, ﬁll the bottom three ﬁelds: Oce or cell

phone, Email address, and Building name or oce

number.

• Only ﬁll in the top ﬁeld (Oce or cell phone [optional])

if you are including two phone numbers on your card.

• If you are including two phone numbers on your card,

dierentiate between the two by adding “oce” or “cell”

in parentheses after the number:

» 740-427-9999 (oce)

» 740-427-9998 (cell)

• If you wish to add “home” or “mobile” instead of “cell,”

that’s ﬁne.

• For the bottom ﬁeld, use the formal name of the

building in which your oce is located. If you are adding

your oce number, use the style of “Building Name

###” (e.g., Sparrow 208).

• If for some reason you do not wish to include your

building name or oce number (for example, if it

should be kept conﬁdential, or you do not have a

permanent oce location), shift all ﬁelds down so that

the contact information in the bottom left corner is

aligned to the bottom. Although the template speciﬁes

which information should be included in each ﬁeld,

the ﬁelds are open text ﬁelds and can accommodate

any type of information. (However, for the sake of

consistency, please do follow the template as much as

possible.)

• Do not include blank lines between ﬁelds in the contact

information area.

NAME BADGES

• You can customize your own 3x2 inch magnetic name

badge. Make sure to type and review your information

carefully; VistaPrint will print your card exactly as you

type it. Similar to customizable business cards, these

name badges have multiple ﬁelds available for names,

titles and other information.

• Name badges look best if they have both an employee

name and title. Fill out at least one line of information

below the name.

• Name badges can accommodate longer titles. If you have

multiple titles, consider including just one so that the

name badge is more easily readable. Generally, including

less information will make name badges easier for

viewers to read.

• Do not separate ﬁelds with blank lines of space.
