Introduction

Our free Office Supplies Checklist helps you organize every essential item for a productive workspace. From furniture and tech to desk and kitchen supplies, this complete office essentials list makes setup and restocking easy. You can customize, share, and print it in PDF, Excel, or Word, or manage it directly in the free Checklist App to reuse it whenever you reorder supplies. Track inventory, sync across devices, and keep your team aligned with the latest updates—all in one place.

Details

Keeping track of office supplies is easier said than done—especially when multiple people are ordering, restocking, or managing shared spaces. This Office Supplies Checklist helps you stay organized by giving you a clear overview of everything your team needs to keep the workspace running smoothly.

Whether you’re setting up a new office, managing inventory, or reordering essential supplies, you can use this checklist to save time and avoid missing important items. It works great for monthly restocking, budget planning, or onboarding new team members who handle purchasing.

Because it’s built in the free Checklist App, you can reuse the same checklist every time you order. Simply tick off items as you go, share updates with colleagues, and track what’s running low. For printable records, export your checklist anytime as PDF, Excel, or Word.

Stay on top of your supplies and keep your workspace efficient, stocked, and ready for business.

Tips

  • Keep a small surplus of high-use items (like pens, paper, or printer ink) in an easily accessible storage area to avoid last-minute shortages.
  • Use whiteboards or digital calendars instead of paper for scheduling. You'll save paper, space, and time.
  • Review your checklist monthly to see which supplies run out fastest—this helps plan bulk orders and prevent waste.
  • Label storage shelves and drawers by category (e.g., tech, kitchen, desk supplies) to make restocking faster.
  • Reuse your checklist in the Checklist App whenever you place new orders. Track quantities, assign tasks, and update your inventory instantly.
  • Standardize your ordering process so everyone in the office knows what to check before buying new items.
  • Encourage team feedback on supply usage—sometimes small changes (like switching brands or buying in bulk) save both money and space.
  • Digitize receipts and invoices by attaching them to your checklist in the app to track budgets and spending over time.

Who it's for

This Office Supplies Checklist is for teams that want consistent execution, less rework, and clear ownership.

  • Standardize quality - run the same Office Supplies steps every time, regardless of who executes
  • Save time - reuse a proven Office Supplies workflow instead of rebuilding processes from scratch
  • Improve accountability - assign owners and see what's done vs. what's pending
  • Onboard faster - use the Office Supplies checklist as the SOP and training guide
  • Coordinate across roles - handoffs are clear and everyone works from the same source of truth

How to use it

How to use this Office Supplies Checklist:

  1. Start by saving it - save as a Template if you'll reuse it, or as a Checklist if it's a one-off project.
  2. Customize it once for your workflow - remove what doesn't apply and add your team-specific steps.
  3. Assign ownership and execute - set owners/due dates where needed and track completion as work happens.
  4. Reuse without rebuilding - when Office Supplies comes up again, start from your saved version and run it with clear ownership.
