Paperfix Stapleless Stapler

The Paperfix Stapleless Stapler is a great way to bind together small amounts of paperwork without the need for staples or paperclips. This helps to reduce the amount of metal being processed for use in staples and other such bindings.

The Paperfix Stapleless Stapler is able to safely fix around 4 sheets of paper together. It achieves this through a system of cutting and folding which causes the sheets of paper to interlock. By applying pressure to the device, just as you would a normal stapler or hole punch, the sheets of paper become interlocked. Though they can come apart more easily than if they were stapled, the pages will remain together well enough for general household or office use. Additionally you can make it more secure by using an additional punch to the side as well as in the corner of the paperwork without affecting the ability to read the pages.

The benefits of not using staples are many. Firstly you save on the amount of metal being processed for such office equipment, it has been estimated that around 200 tons of staples were used in the UK throughout a year. Secondly you will never find you have run out of staples, the stapler is ready for use at all times. Thirdly due to the lack of metal the pages can be easily put through a shredder without any hassle of removing staples. Fourthly there is no chance of your accidentally putting a staple into your hand or finger, anyone who has achieved this or has concerns due to small children will know that is a great advantage!

The negatives though are that only a limited amount of paper can be secured together, 6 pages would really be a maximum. Also as they can come apart more easily there will be times when the system simply is not secure enough. However, as these circumstances are usually in the minority it seems worthwhile having one of these alongside a regular stapler to help you cut down on your staple usage at the very least.

The Paperfix Stapleless Stapler is available for just £3.99.
