It is important to know

Before choosing a brass paper clip, it is worth considering the scope and method of use in the office environment. The most important factors in choosing a suitable size for typical documents and the durability of the material during archiving are the practical limitations that are not always easy to see in the specifications.

• Brass is suitable for archiving, as it resists corrosion well, but in extremely demanding conditions of long-term storage it is not completely insensitive to the environment.
• The 16 mm length limits the stapler to stapling a smaller number of sheets; if you often bind larger documents, this size may not be enough.
• A pack of 100 is suitable for normal office use, but for larger companies it makes sense to consider larger packs for better stock.

In practice

🟢 General stapling of most business documents

Very suitable - the 16 mm split pin with brass material meets frequent office needs for preparing thin to medium-sized documents.

🟡 Stapling large quantities of sheets for reports or archiving

Suitable with limitations – Due to its limited length, the splitter is only useful for relatively thin bundles. For larger reports or archival files, we recommend larger dimensions.

🟢 Document organization without color coding

Very suitable – Since the split is a neutral-colored brass, it provides a uniform and professional look, meeting the requirements of formal business documentation.

🟡 Long-term archiving in more demanding conditions

Suitable with limitations – Brass tolerates normal archival conditions well, but in highly humid or aggressive environments there is a possibility of oxidation over time.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Can I staple thicker documents with 16 mm staples?

This size is intended primarily for thin to medium-thick documents. For very large files, we recommend longer splits.

Does brass paint leave marks on paper when used?

Brass does not usually leave stains or marks on paper under normal use.

Is the 100-piece package suitable for a larger office?

The pack will suffice for normal daily use, but larger offices may need more packs for a constant supply.
