Medical Filing Systems Now Available in First-of-Its-Kind Program Through Boise Office Solutions

 Hospitals and Clinics Will Be Able to Receive Systems Through Office Supply
                  Channel and Receive Many Products Next-Day

    ITASCA, Ill., April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Office products supplier BOISE(R)
Office Solutions announced today a new arrangement with Esselte Corporation to
offer medical filing systems through its regular office supply channels. Boise
Office Solutions is the first office products supplier to offer these
supplies.
    Previously, hospitals and clinics had to go through a separate specialty
supplier and wait seven to ten days to receive filing system supplies such as
radiology and X-ray file jackets and color-coded folder labels. The filing
systems can account for as much as 15 percent of an organization's office
products expenditure. With the new arrangement, Boise Office Solutions will be
stocking more than 50 of the most popular items and customers will receive
them the next day allowing customers to save time and money by reducing wait
times and extra ordering costs. In addition, custom printing is available on
many of the products to enable customers to enhance their corporate image.
    "This arrangement is a good example of Boise Office Solutions'
responsiveness to its customers' needs," said Kevin France, national account
manager - healthcare for Boise Office Solutions. "We are constantly working
with our partners in the healthcare industry to discover ways to provide
solutions for the future."
