English term or phrase: stationery
I think there is an Indonesian term that describes writable surfaces, such as note pads and envelopes, but not writing instruments such as pens and pencils.

But it slips my mind, and the only translation I can find in the dictionary for 'stationery' is 'alat tulis menulis,' which is not quite what I have in mind.

Thanks for you time folks . . .

Thanks. The fact that it has a abreviation probably means that it has become a common usage.

perlengkapan tulis-menulis


Explanation:
Personally I like that one. There is no restriction on the tools used (such as in alat/peralatan tulis-menulis) or on the place (such as in peralatan/perlengkapan kantor). Tulis-menulis according to KBBI covers all aspects in writing activity. The choice is yours.

agree  Rayindra: This may be it, but personally I think it is not quite accurate; not all stationeries are for office use only!
