Say goodbye to boring stationery with ColourHide
SAY GOODBYE TO BORING STATIONERY!
We might be a little biased but we think stationery is extraordinary.
Whether you’re writing, organising or escaping, it all comes back to one thing – creation. So no matter what you’re creating, we’re ready to help with an exciting and colourful range of notebooks, writing instruments, filing and organisation products.
We come in a variety of shapes and sizes plus we've got vibrant (and protective) covers plus nice, thick, easy to rip out pages. Just don’t get too organised. Notebooks are for scribbling, sketching, experimenting and exploring. So go on. Be spontaneous.
It’s bold, it’s vibrant. It’s ColourHide.
Visionchart Huddles Up for Growth
Leading VisCom wholesaler Visionchart has moved to new premises at Huntingwood following an extensive search for suitable premises.
The 4500 square metre site almost doubles previous capacity for stock products, significantly expands the made-to-order capabilities and allows for future capacity in the rapidly-growing acoustic solutions market.
Visionchart managing director Mark Bowdern is update about the move: “As we see some return by OP dealers to supporting the true wholesalers, now is the time to increase our capacity for future growth and ensure we can maintain the service levels expected by our customers.”
He added: Visionchart’s extensive range of whiteboards, pinboards, glassboards, communications and acoustic products are market leaders for innovation and design and we look forward to more dealers in our industry realising the upsell potential from even the simplest of leads.
Visionchart OP dealer manager Robin Scott adds: “Being able to add a full-service model to supply, deliver and install direct to our dealers’ customers is a pretty unique proposition. I see more dealers realising the benefits of zero inventory and increased sales in a space normally reserved for the traditional furniture outlets.”

Re-open with confidence: DURUS health & safety signs from Hamelin
COVID-19 restrictions are being eased, lockdowns are ending and it feels like we are all back on the path to normal. ALL GREAT news.
Whilst it may not all look exactly like it used to, what hasn’t changed is our search for exciting new opportunities, brands and products that will help generate incremental business.
DURUS Health & Safety Signage is one of those opportunities.
We released the DURUS (COVID-19) range last year, and it was an immediate success with and for our customers, just when they needed it too.
DURUS signs are well-designed, durable and carry simple, clear messages about our new responsibilities for health and safety. They look professional and allow your customers to show their customers what is required when entering their business or institution. They are perfect replacement for those tired, homemade versions we see all too many of.
For Dealers
For the convenience of dealers, the DURUS Signage Brochure is a super simple package to send to business and school customer bases.
We have also made the range available at GNS Wholesale to purchase for your convenience in single units
Let your customers know you care about the on-going health of their business, staff and customers, as we slowly return to something akin to ‘business-as-usual’.
For Business
With the relaxing of regulations there will still be an on-going need for businesses to manage people on company premises with checking-in, wearing masks, hand-sanitising, social distancing and people traffic management.
To assist business-owners we have an extensive range of smart, durable, professional-looking signage, including wall and window signs and decals, table and counter signs and floor adhesive signs.
For Schools
At Hamelin Brands, we understand the challenges principals and school administrators have faced over recent times with lockdowns causing school closures and making it very difficult to carry out teaching in many instances.
In getting back to normality there will still be an on-going need to manage both students and visitors coming onto school grounds with checking-in, wearing masks, hand-sanitising, social distancing and student traffic management.
Hamelin Brands has an extensive range of school signage including wall and window signs and decals, table and counter signs and floor adhesive signs.
The smart and durable signs are designed to be placed around the school at reception, classrooms, canteen, bathrooms and playground. Also available is a teaching set of hygiene and safety cards.

LAST CHANCE TO ACCESS THE $5K VICTORIAN SMALL BUSINESS VENTILATION GRANT
There is an indoor air quality crisis around the world and pollutants are increasingly posing a risk to health, wellness and mental acuity.
An estimated 3.8 million premature deaths are caused each year by indoor air pollution, with an untold number of us suffering from harm to wellbeing every day — simply because of the air we breathe while indoors.
Recently commissioned research by Rentokil Initial has shown almost three quarters of Australians (74%) believe businesses with poorly ventilated spaces need to do more to protect the public from airborne transmission risks, such as COVID-19, the new super cold and Influenza.
To tackle these issues, and to help businesses create healthier environments for their employees and customers, the Victorian Government has introduced a $5,000 grant program for eligible small businesses to purchase equipment to improve ventilation.
This grant can help small businesses in Victoria access the latest technology and innovation in air quality solutions to reduce risk and to minimise the spread of the airborne illnesses in the workplace.
Air purifiers play a critical role in high-risk environments in reducing the spread of COVID-19, reducing the sickness cycle and building customer and employee confidence.
For more information, visit Initial Hygiene, or call 1300 059 972 to learn about indoor air quality solutions for your business and how to utilise the government funding.
Click here to learn more about the $5K government grant available. Applications close this Friday, 24 June 2022.
