Abstract
An all-in-one stationery system that includes a first cover, a second cover, a calculator, and a sharpener. The first cover and the second cover are rotatably connected with each other and toggled between an open configuration and a closed configuration. While the stationery system is in an open configuration, the stationery system can be used as a long ruler. Alternatively, when the stationery system is in a closing configuration, the stationery system can be used as a container and/or a short ruler. The calculator of the stationery system is mounted on the first or second cover, and the sharpener is mounted on either the first or second cover opposite the calculator.
