INVESTING IN QUALITY FOR LASTING WELL-BEING
Ergonomics: the key to optimal productivity at work

HANDWRITING: A PRODUCTIVITY ASSET IN THE WORKPLACE WITH HIGH-QUALITY PENS
Handwriting is a real tool for productivity and well-being. Manual note-taking has been proven to activate specific brain regions, enhancing memory, comprehension, and structured thinking. Writing by hand also encourages deeper, more creative thought processes.
Our pens, mechanical pencils, and fountain pens from the ECRIDOR™collection are designed to provide a unique writing experience. Their ergonomic design ensures a perfectly balanced grip and optimal comfort, reducing muscle strain.
For greater writing flexibility, our 849™ mechanical pencil, with an unbreakable lead and the ability to make precise corrections, is the ideal tool for meticulous note-taking.
Providing your partners and employees with such refined tools allows them to work in optimal conditions, strengthening their connection to your company through high-quality products.
Keyboard vs pen: which tool for which purpose?
While using a keyboard is ideal for rapid note-taking or writing long texts without interruption, it does not offer the same cognitive benefits as handwriting. Typing on a keyboard is an automatic process that can hinder reflection and memory.
Handwriting, on the other hand, requires a more thoughtful process, promoting better information assimilation, and structured and creative thinking.
Choosing the right writing tools for optimal comfort
The choice of quality tools affects your posture and workplace well-being. An ergonomic pen, such as the 849™ roller pen from Caran d’Ache, minimises hand and wrist fatigue thanks to its balance between weight and grip. Its smooth ink flow and precise tip glide effortlessly over the paper, reducing physical strain even during prolonged use.
IMPROVING WORKPLACE ERGONOMICS: 3 PRACTICAL TIPS
1. Adjust your workstation
Beyond choosing the right writing materials, ergonomics at work is essential for professional comfort. Here are some key recommendations:
• Adjust your desk height to prevent tension in your back and shoulders.
• Ensure your chair and armrests are adjustable to support your lower back and keep your thighs and forearms parallel to the floor.
• Position your monitor at eye level and 60 cm away from your face to prevent neck pain and reduce eye strain.
2. Use high-quality accessories
An ergonomic mouse and an adjustable keyboard tray can help relieve muscle strain. Particular attention should be paid to the angle of the wrists.
Writing by hand during the day also helps reduce tension caused by prolonged screen and mouse use, significantly improving comfort and concentration.
Sleek, modern, and high-quality, our Colormat-X notebooks are ideal writing tools for your teams.
Thanks to the superior quality of the paper, the tips of ballpoint and fountain pens easily glide over the pages of the notebook. Leave nothing to chance: match the colour of your notebook with our 849™ Colomart-X pens. Their metallic finish will add an elegant touch and make them the perfect gift for your partners and employees.
3. Take care of your environment
Soft, glare-free lighting improves concentration. Taking regular breaks to write or sketch by hand allows your eyes to rest, stimulates creativity, and reduces stress.
