Emily, our Print & Promo Project Coordinator, reminds us that rebranding is more than just updating a logo; it’s about aligning your visual identity with your company’s evolving vision, audience, and goals. Through thoughtful print materials like business cards, brochures, and signage, your brand can create meaningful connections and leave a lasting impression. At OEX, we help you bring that vision to life with personalized support, expert design guidance, and seamless execution across every touchpoint.

Many people wonder why they can’t just buy an office chair from Amazon, but the truth is that most of those options are residential-grade and not built for the daily demands of a workplace. Commercial-grade furniture, while initially more expensive, is built to last, offers better warranties, and is tailored to support long-term use and comfort. Choosing the right furniture means investing in quality, accountability, and a better experience for both you and your team. Contact OEX to learn more today!

Over 70% of images on social media are now AI-generated, making it harder to know what's real. As content becomes more polished and less authentic, it's important to verify that companies can deliver what they advertise. Look for brands that back up their visuals with real-life examples, customer reviews, and proven results. At OEX, we combine transparency with technology to ensure what you see is what you get.

Attracting and retaining young professionals isn’t about flashy perks. It’s about flexibility that truly supports different work styles.

By showing you're willing to listen and evolve, you build trust and long-term commitment. At Office Express, we help create workspaces that respond to your team’s needs and your company’s goals. Let’s talk about how to support your next generation of talent.

When your workspace authentically represents your brand, it fosters a sense of pride and connection among your team. Your goal should be to communicate your identity to everyone who walks through the door instantly.

The design of your office or workspace plays a crucial role in shaping both client perceptions and the daily experience of you and your team.

Hi, I’m Micah, an interior designer at Office Express in Troy, MI. I’m excited to share my perspective on the latest color trends in commercial interior design, particularly how these trends impact mood and happiness in workspaces.

So, what’s trending right now? I see a noticeable shift toward vibrant, bold colors, moving away from the traditional reliance on grayscale and neutrals. From what I’ve observed, these bright color palettes boost productivity, energize employees, and foster a more positive work environment.

Hi there! I’m Kim, an interior designer at OEX, and I just returned from the Healthcare Design (HCD) Conference and Expo in Indianapolis. My mind is freshly buzzing with inspiration and ideas for my upcoming design projects thanks to the Expo. There is something truly invaluable about experiencing different types of furniture up close—seeing, touching, and feeling it in person rather than just scrolling through a catalog… a game changer in my line of work.

I want to update you on the current paper cost situation in the United States and what to expect for the rest of the year. This blog is based on my own experiences with manufacturers over the past few years as well as articles like this one on the topic.

In a nutshell, paper and related products in the custom printing world (everything from business cards to envelopes to booklets and more) continue to rise in price, but not nearly at the rate they did during 2020-2022.

If you run a business, you know the importance of keeping expenses down.  When it comes to your internal printing costs, standard operating procedure is to print internal documents in black or grayscale and save the pretty color prints for customer-facing documents or presentations.  Other ways to save money include using compatible or remanufactured cartridges instead of OEM cartridges, printing in draft mode instead of normal or high-quality modes and having one or two central printers that everyone shares instead of having individual printers on employees’ desks.

So now that I’ve told you what you already know, I’d like to share something with you that you may not know – the font you choose for your documents can save you – or cost you – money.

Yes, really!
