Introduction
The office is no longer a place. It’s wherever work happens: kitchen counters, corner desks, or co-working spaces. And that shift is rewriting the rules for how Americans shop for office supplies.
Valued at $17.92 billion in 2024 and expected to cross $20 billion by 2033, the US office supplies market is quietly thriving.
As hybrid and remote work continue to reshape workspaces, consumers are investing in everything from sticky notes to high-yield ink cartridges to build their functional home setups. Over 60% of stationery purchases now happen online, with Amazon leading the way.
With nearly 40% of the US e-commerce market, Amazon processes $1.6 billion in daily sales, and office products are a key part of that flow. In June 2025, the bestselling office products on Amazon included 161 top-ranked SKUs across 71 brands, with an average price of $16.71.
From high-volume packing tape to subscription-ready ink, the assortment reveals what today’s customers value most: reliability, convenience, and trusted names.

Inkjet Ink Cartridges and Permanent Markers are the Best-Selling Office Products Sub-Categories on Amazon
Inkjet Ink Cartridges dominate Amazon’s office products best seller list, with 13 products. This is nearly double the count of the next most common category, Permanent Markers (7), and far ahead of other staples, such as Dry/Wet Erase Markers and Gel Ink Rollerball Pens (6 each).
Print-related products continue to dominate the list of best-selling office products on Amazon. Ink cartridges, printer paper, and laminating supplies comprise a significant portion of top-selling SKUs, indicating continued demand for physical documentation, especially in home offices and hybrid workplaces.
While markers and pens (including gel, ballpoint, and permanent types) collectively hold strong positions, no single type dominates across all formats, indicating a diverse need for different writing tools in various work settings.
Amazon Basics and HP are the Best-Selling Office Products Brands on Amazon
Amazon Basics and HP are tied with 14 products each in the office products bestseller list. However, their pricing strategies differ sharply: Amazon Basics has an average price of $12, targeting value-conscious shoppers. HP’s average price is a steep $51, driven by high-ticket items like ink and toner cartridges.
With eight bestselling office products and an average price of $17, Scotch stands out as a mid-range player, focusing on utility items such as tape and packaging. Writing brands like SHARPIE, BIC, and EXPO are strong in volume but low in price. These brands have 5–10 products each, but maintain low price points (mostly under $10).
Amazon Leads as the #1 Seller in Office Products Bestsellers
Amazon.com is the seller behind ~75% of best-selling office products. With 67 products, Amazon itself is the top seller by a massive margin. The next highest, MyOfficeInnovations (Staples), has only four products, followed by HiTouch Business Services & BJI of Staples, each with two.
If third-party resellers, rather than Amazon Retail, are selling your office products, your visibility may be significantly limited. For emerging brands, selling directly through Amazon or being selected by Amazon Retail is crucial for entering the bestseller list in the office product category.
HP’s 910 Cyan Ink and 206A Toner Are the Most Expensive Best-Selling Office Products on Amazon.
According to MetricsCart Amazon office product analysis, HP completely dominates the high-price segment of the bestsellers category. Out of the top 10 most expensive products, 7 are HP products, mostly ink and toner cartridges, with prices ranging from $48 to $97.
Topping the list is the HP Original 910 Ink, priced at $97, followed closely by the HP 206A Black Toner Cartridge ($81) and HP 962 Ink ($80). These products reflect how consumables for printers, not the printers themselves, drive the highest spend in this category.
HP’s ink and toner cartridges are not only high-priced, but they’re also consistently among the bestselling office products on Amazon, indicating strong brand loyalty and repeat purchasing.
The HP DeskJet 2855e Printer ranks at $75, making it the most expensive hardware in the top list. The Hammermill 20lb copy paper (8-ream) appears at $54, showing that bulk office supplies can cross premium pricing thresholds.
Printer accessories are a high-value niche in the office product category, with strong repeat potential. Brands outside this niche looking to compete on price might focus on volume or multi-pack bundles to gain visibility in the premium bracket.
Comfort-focused and ergonomic office products, such as seat cushions, also show potential to break into the high-end market, indicating emerging demand for home-office upgrades.
Charles Leonard Rubber Bands and BIC Brite Liner Highlighters are the Most Affordable Best-Selling Office Products on Amazon
The most affordable office bestsellers on Amazon are priced under $5, with several items available for as low as $1.80, proving that low-cost essentials continue to dominate demand in this category.
The Charles Leonard Rubber Bands (3/8 oz. bag) top the affordability chart at just $1.80. This reflects the continued relevance of basic, functional items in Amazon’s bestseller mix even with ultra-low price points.
Products like BIC Highlighters ($2.20), Swingline Staples ($2.25), BIC Mechanical Pencils ($2.70), Sharpie Pens ($3.50) are all priced under $4, reinforcing that writing tools and daily-use desk supplies maintain strong turnover at low price points.
Items like correction tape, spray cleaners, and privacy envelopes also make the cut—showing that affordable office solutions span across writing, organization, and maintenance needs.
Even Amazon Basics Push Pins ($4.20) make the list, demonstrating that low-priced Amazon private label products compete vigorously across categories.
Price and Rating Trends in Bestselling Office Products on Amazon
Across Amazon’s top 10 bestselling office products, average customer ratings remain strong (mostly above 4.5), even as price points range from $6.70 to $54.0. This indicates that price isn’t a deterrent for positive reviews if the product delivers on performance and reliability.
Hammermill Printer Paper (8.5 x 11) is the most expensive item on this chart, at $54, yet it maintains a stellar 4.7 rating. The HP 63XL Black Ink Cartridge ($39.89) also maintains a strong 4.6 rating, reinforcing HP’s brand trust in the printer supply space.
Amazon Basics Wide-Ruled Writing Pads ($13.90), Sticky Notes ($11.49), and Dry Erase Markers ($10.20) all have ratings of 4.6 or higher. These are everyday-use products, so positive feedback reflects consistent performance in day-to-day use.
Amazon Basics Multipurpose Copy Printer Paper is the Most Reviewed Best-Selling Office Product on Amazon
Metricscart’s Amazon office category analysis proves that the most-reviewed products aren’t flashy gadgets; they’re the everyday staples that keep work running smoothly. Amazon Basics is dominating the Office Products category, with 3 of its items appearing in the top 5 most-reviewed products.
The Amazon Basics Multipurpose Copy Paper leads by a massive margin with 191K reviews, far ahead of the second-placed Double-Sided Heavy-Duty Tape (119K) and Amazon Basics Writing Pads (112K).
This trend suggests that house-brand products offering good value and everyday utility are seeing higher customer feedback volumes, likely due to high order frequency and automatic reordering behavior.
Scotch Heavy Duty Packing Tape has garnered 102K reviews, underscoring its widespread adoption across both office and non-office settings. As a trusted name in adhesives, Scotch capitalizes on substantial brand equity and product reliability.
The high volume of feedback suggests frequent usage among small businesses, movers, and online sellers, reinforcing its value in shipping and logistics far beyond standard desk work.
Conclusion
Office products on Amazon reflect more than just what’s selling; they reveal how work gets done today. From printer paper and ink to markers and packing tape, the bestseller list is driven by functionality, repeat purchase behavior, and brand reliability.
Whether it’s Amazon Basics leading on value or HP and Scotch owning trust in their respective categories, the digital shelf clearly favors products that deliver consistency.
