It is important to know

When deciding on Apli No. 2 (32 mm) paper clips, it is crucial to know the practical needs of your office and typical stapling tasks. It is important to consider the volume of documents, the frequency of use, and whether the clips are also intended for archiving or just temporary organization. Before purchasing, pay attention to the following factors:

• The size of the staple determines how many sheets of paper you can safely staple; choose the appropriate size based on the typical amounts of paper you use in everyday tasks.
• The metal design is suitable for everyday use and allows for neat visual separation of documents, but is not specifically designed for highly sensitive or valuable archival documents.
• The unobtrusive classic color makes it easy to use in formal business documentation where no color accents are desired.
• The average stapling capacity of these staples may be limiting for very thick bound documents; for larger bindings, check the dimensions and find a more suitable solution.
• Letter packs are suitable for general office use, but if you have larger needs on a regular basis, consider larger packs for greater cost-effectiveness.

🟢 Visual separation of documents in project teams

Very suitable – The classic format is useful for clearly separating groups of documents in office processes where there is no need for color coding.

🟡 Use in formal business documentation

Suitable with limitations – The metal clip does not leave noticeable marks, but it is not coated, so it may leave a mark on delicate paper with prolonged use.

Answers to frequently asked questions

How many pages can I bind with one staple?

The exact number depends on the thickness of the paper, but staples of this size are typically optimal for stapling small to medium-thick bundles of documents.

Are metal clips suitable for long-term archiving?

Metal clips are resistant to normal office use, but for long-term storage of more sensitive documents, it is recommended to use specially protected or coated versions.

Are they suitable for sensitive or important official documents?

The staples are not coated, so with particularly sensitive paper, there is a possibility of marks on the paper after prolonged use.

How to practically store large quantities of staples in the office?

If you regularly use a large number of staples, consider purchasing larger packs or organizing your storage in specially labeled boxes for easier access within a group or department.
