NSS - National Stationery Show 2012

Now in its 66th year, the National Stationery Show is the world’s most comprehensive collection of stationery and related lifestyle products, and stands alone as the only business event and tradeshow in the United States that focuses specifically on these profitable, powerful product categories.

With over 900 exhibiting companies featuring more than 10,000 lines, the NSS brings all sides of the diverse business community together: manufacturers (the exhibitors), buyers, sales reps, designers, licensors, distributors, trade/consumer press and manufacturing suppliers (the exhibitors in The Supply Side division).


The National Stationery Show attracts a diverse global attendance of 11,000+ buyers from stationery, card and gift shops; bookstores; bridal shops; party stores; department, chain and specialty stores; large chains and "big box" mass retailers; online retailers and mail order catalogs, as well as distributors and importers worldwide.

The Supply Side attracts product development and creative professionals within the stationery, giftware and graphic arts industries. Exhibitors in the NSS are the "buyers" that shop The Supply Side.
