History
Stradmore operates under S Point Products, Inc., which describes itself as a Philippine manufacturer of quality and innovative office and school supplies with over 25 years of manufacturing experience. The company maintains in-house capabilities for designing, printing, binding, and case-making, enabling the production of a broad range of stationery items.[1]
The brand has been present in the local stationery market for many years. Retail coverage from the late 2000s featured Stradmore notebooks among school-supply offerings, including designs incorporating humorous expressions and Filipino themes.
Trademark records published by the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHIL) list STRADMORE under S Point Products, Inc., providing documentary evidence of the brand’s registration in the country.[1]
Products
Stradmore’s core category is paper stationery. According to S Point Products, the portfolio includes:
- Notebooks
- Spiral notebooks
- Planners
- Folders
- Binders
- Notepads
- Address books
- Organizers
- File dividers
- Photo albums
These products are manufactured in various sizes and formats to accommodate different market requirements.[1] Contemporary marketplace listings indicate that Stradmore continues to offer planners and notebooks, including medium executive planners, weekly planners, and themed spiral notebooks.
Stradmore Notes
The brand is also referred to as Stradmore Notes, particularly regarding its notebook and planner lines. A printing-industry profile identifies Sprintec Printing Press as a partner printer of Stradmore Notes and describes Stradmore as a locally manufactured stationery brand.[2]
This relationship highlights the vertical integration of the brand’s production. S Point Products possesses its own designing, printing, binding, and case-making facilities, while Sprintec performs prepress, printing, and post-press operations in-house.[1][2]
Brand positioning
Stradmore distinguishes itself by treating stationery as more than purely functional equipment. Products frequently incorporate youth-oriented, colorful, Filipino, motivational, and lifestyle themes. Historical notebook designs have included covers featuring contemporary expressions popular among younger consumers.
Blogberry University Lifestyle Planner
A notable project was the Blogberry University Lifestyle Planner, a student-focused planner following the Philippine academic year from June through May. Originating in 2008, it became an anticipated annual release with themes covering positivity, nationalism, and environmental awareness.[3]
Unlike conventional calendars, the Blogberry planner was designed around student life. Features included planning pages, motivational content, goal-setting sections, doodle areas, quotations, and practical reference information.
Collaboration with Laureen Uy
In 2015, Stradmore collaborated with Filipino fashion and lifestyle blogger Laureen Uy on the 2015–2016 Blogberry University Lifestyle Planner. This partnership produced the #BeTheBestYou edition.[3]
Uy contributed to the creative development, providing designs, quotations, personal anecdotes, and activities. The project focused on self-empowerment and encouraging youth development alongside academic responsibilities.[3] This collaboration illustrates Stradmore’s strategy of connecting traditional stationery with popular culture, personal identity, fashion, and youth lifestyle.
Filipino identity
Recurring aspects of Stradmore’s design include Filipino cultural themes. A 2013 design project titled “Proudly Filipino By Stradmore Notes” featured notebook covers with localized designs available through National Book Store, Expressions, and SM outlets.[4]
This use of localized design serves as a differentiation strategy against generic international stationery brands.
Manufacturing and corporate relationship
Stradmore is distinct from similarly named entities; it is associated solely with S Point Products, Inc. and is not connected to Stradmore Pipe Manufacturing Corporation, a separate Philippine company appearing in government records.[1]
S Point Products acts as both manufacturer and brand owner. In addition to Stradmore, the company is licensed to manufacture stationery for brands such as Maui and Sons and Hanadeka, and produces customized OEM stationery for clients.[1]
Retail presence
Stradmore products have historically been distributed through Philippine stationery and department-store channels, including National Book Store, Expressions, and SM outlets. Current marketplace listings indicate that Stradmore stationery continues to be sold online in the Philippines.
Online product listings feature both traditional stationery and dated planners, suggesting continued targeting of the school, personal-organization, and office-supplies markets.
Brand significance
Stradmore is characterized as a homegrown Philippine stationery brand combining conventional paper products with locally relevant design and youth-oriented branding. Its significance lies in its long-standing presence in the local school and stationery market rather than global scale. Three characteristics define the brand’s public identity:
- Local manufacturing — Stradmore is presented as a Philippine-made stationery brand under S Point Products.[1]
- Student-oriented products — Notebooks, planners, organizers, and other supplies form the core of its portfolio.[1]
- Creative and localized branding — Selected products incorporate Filipino themes, youth culture, motivational messaging, and collaborations.
