Low on paper? Order from Dunder Mifflin!

A case of Dunder Mifflin paperNow the hardcore fans of The Office television sitcom can prove their dedication by ordering and using actual Dunder Mifflin paper products! It is the truth, I kid you not. The office supply web store Quill.com has garnered a licensing agreement with NBC Universal to sell cartons of Dunder Mifflin paper through their website for the affordable price of $34.99 for each case. The news was discovered via The Wrap news website and you can now order your own box of paper by visiting this link to the product page.

After seven years on television, which is a feat in itself these days with cancel happy TV executives, it surprising how it took this long for an office supply company to score a licensing agreement with NBC to connect fans of The Office with an actual product that is nothing more than a fictitious prop up to this point. It is the equivalent of the red stapler from Office Space or maybe the hatch from Lost. NBC Universal has agreed upon a contract with Quill Lincolnshire, Inc. to receive six percent of the profits earn from the sales of the product on Quill.com over the next two years. I would assume the contract could be renewed at the end of the two years if the product continues to sell in large quantities and if the television show continues to produce and broadcast new episodes for the next several years.
