How to Care for Your Premium Stationery

Preserve the Beauty and Quality of Your Kawaii Collection

Premium stationery is an investment in beauty and functionality. With proper care, your favorite kawaii items can stay pristine and bring you joy for years to come. Here's everything you need to know about caring for and preserving your stationery collection.

General Storage Guidelines

Keep Away from Direct Sunlight
UV rays can fade pastel colors and damage delicate materials. Store your stationery in drawers, boxes, or away from windows to maintain their vibrant appearance.

Control Temperature and Humidity
Extreme temperatures and moisture can warp paper, affect adhesives, and damage enamel finishes. Store items in a cool, dry place with consistent conditions.

Use Protective Storage
Keep items in their original packaging when possible, or use protective sleeves, boxes, and organizers. Our utility pouches are perfect for organizing and protecting smaller items.

Caring for Notepads and Paper Products

Proper Handling:
Always handle your notepads with clean, dry hands to prevent oils and moisture from transferring to the paper.

Storage Tips:

• Store flat or upright to prevent bending and creasing
• Keep in a dry environment to prevent moisture damage
• Use bookends or dividers to keep them organized
• Avoid stacking heavy items on top

Preventing Damage:
Don't write on pages underneath your current page—use a backing sheet to prevent impressions. Keep away from liquids and food to avoid stains.

Washi Tape Care

Storage Best Practices:
Store your washi tape upright or in dedicated organizers to prevent the adhesive from degrading. Keep rolls sealed when not in use.

Maintaining Adhesive Quality:

• Avoid exposing to extreme temperatures
• Don't leave partially unrolled for extended periods
• Keep away from dust and debris
• Use within 2-3 years for best adhesive performance

Application Tips:
Apply to clean, dry surfaces for best adhesion. Smooth out air bubbles gently with your finger or a soft tool.

Caring for Charms and Metal Accessories

Preventing Tarnish:
Store your gold charms and metal bookmarks in anti-tarnish pouches or with anti-tarnish strips.

Cleaning Guidelines:

• Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after each use
• For enamel pieces, avoid harsh chemicals and abrasives
• Use a jewelry polishing cloth for metal components
• Never submerge enamel charms in water

Storage Solutions:
Keep charms separated to prevent scratching. Use small compartmented boxes or individual pouches for delicate pieces.

Hair Accessories Maintenance

Cleaning Your Accessories:
Gently wipe your pearl hair pins and hair claws with a damp cloth to remove hair products and oils.

Storage Tips:

• Store in a clean, dry place away from cosmetics
• Keep separated to prevent tangling and scratching
• Avoid storing in humid bathrooms
• Use dividers or small containers for organization

Sticker Care and Preservation

Keeping Stickers Fresh:
Store your sticker sheets flat in a cool, dry place. Keep them in their original packaging or protective sleeves.

Preventing Adhesive Issues:

• Don't expose to heat or direct sunlight
• Keep backing paper intact until ready to use
• Store away from moisture
• Use within 1-2 years for best adhesive quality

Organization Systems

Create Dedicated Storage:
Designate specific areas for different types of stationery. Use labeled containers, drawer dividers, or display cases.

Regular Maintenance:
Periodically review your collection, clean items as needed, and reorganize to keep everything accessible and in good condition.

Inventory Management:
Keep track of what you have to avoid overbuying and ensure you're using items before they degrade.

When to Replace Items

Even with proper care, some items have a lifespan:

• Washi tape: Replace when adhesive weakens (typically 2-3 years)
• Stickers: Use within 1-2 years for best results
• Paper products: Can last indefinitely with proper storage
• Metal accessories: Can last for years with proper care and cleaning

Travel Tips

When taking your stationery on the go:

• Use protective cases or pouches
• Keep items separated to prevent damage
• Avoid overpacking to prevent crushing
• Bring only what you'll actually use
