5 Reasons Why You'll Love Office Supplies

Drag and drop textures are becoming more and more popular these days in both digital art and design. Being able to add that extra something to your work can make it shine among a sea of content creators.

If you haven't used textures like this before, however, you might not know how to use them or what makes them special. So we've put together of the top 5 reasons we think you'll love our newest collection of textures, Office Supplies.

What is office supplies?

Vintage stationery and promotional material can be hard to come by because by its very nature they are meant to be used or discarded. Unlike other types of vintage, there really isn't a market for old price tags or stained paper so finding them can be a long process.

The RetroSupply Co. team pulled together their years of collecting to create four themed packs of transparent PNG textures to add to your work. These are things that hardly anyone keeps around, but which can really take your work over the top.

1. Sourced from Real Vintage

When you find yourself needing some analog touches for your digital art, where do you turn? You'll be hard pressed to find listings for price tags, rusty staples, and all those other special ephemera that can bring retro art to life.

We scoured yard sales, antique malls, online auctions and more to find every piece. No stock images or repeats. Each asset is completely unique and one of a kind. Heck, we even dug through the trash at one point to save a special asset just for you!

2. Regular Updates

Getting a large collection of assets can feel overwhelming and that can be disasterous for your inspiration.

That's why we've developed a "slow drip" format for Office Supplies. Instead of getting everything all at once, get a new pack every week of 25 high-quality assets.

Take the time to get to know all your tools and get excited for the ones coming up. You'll be a texture master in no time!

3. Easy to Use
