Binder Clips

Binder Clips

Binder clips are a type of office supply used to hold together sheets of paper or other materials. They consist of two metal or plastic arms, connected by a spring, that can be opened and closed to secure items in between them. The arms of the clip typically have ridges or teeth that help grip the materials being held, preventing them from slipping out of place. Binder clips are a popular alternative to staples or paper clips because they can hold a larger number of pages together without damaging them. They are also reusable and can be easily removed and repositioned as needed. In addition to holding paper, binder clips can be used to organize cords and cables, clip bags closed, or even serve as a makeshift stand for a phone or tablet. The history of the binder clip dates back to the early 20th century, when it was invented by a Norwegian named Johan Vaaler. However, it wasn't until the 1980s that the binder clip became widely used in offices around the world.
