Stapler or Paper clips

For me, i will use the stapler when i don't want to separate the papers, but if i want to use some paper of the all papers, i will use the paper clips.It depends on the situations.

Hi cwong77, I love to use both of its. It is depend on what kind of job that I want it to be done to determine the way I pull this paper together. I used paper clips if I need to pull or separate this papers in future. Or if I just want to make my table tidy. But sometimes paper clips is not very reliable to hold this papers together. I used stapler if I have a papers that made from I topic or have a same/related topics. It is easier for me to read it that way. If you read something that attached by paper clips, it is easily separated. Staplered papers also easy to carried or distributed. Happy mylotting and have a nice day.

there are a lot of different kinds of paper clips and a lot of design. then i find that there are different colors of staples now on stores. but just like you said i dont like my papers ending up with a lot of holes for it looks dirty. i used paper clips for temporary then when it is all okay i put staples on it. i sometimes dont use anything anymore just put it inside an envelope of the papers needs to be in an envelope.

Hey cwong77! Good question. hmmmm..As for me, I would go to paper clips. First, it comes with different colors, recyclable, classy, it doesn't hurt your hand (sometimes accidents happen), and it won't ruin your paper. Stapler is out because it's the total opposite of paper clips.:)

Dear cwong77, Hi, out of curiosity, does the idea of this topic came while you are at your seat in the office looking at your stapler and paper clips...? lol Stapler and paper clips are unigue in itself, they serve different funtions although from the outlook, they are to gather loose papers intact... same function but there are a big DIFFERENT too! STAPLER Convenient...hold paper securely in place, if you turn the pages, the papers are still intact. It is convenient for certain thickness of papers...compared to wired, spiral or plastic comb binding! Binding cost more and takes time...but more presentable! Stapler came in many sizes, some are the mini ones, good for school children to put inside ther pencil case...but BEWARE..it is dangerous if not handle with care. Actually staples can be removed easily using a special gadget called staples remover, safer and neat. PAPER CLIPS I carry along with me in my hadbag in case I need to clip cheque or receipts together. It is purely for 'temporary' measure. It is advisable one you are finalised with the paperworks, removed the clips and staples it together before file it in into respective folder or files. Paper clips are not suitable for reading as you turn the pages it tends to get loose.. As submerryn said, we ..those who loves art & craft, paper clips is 'More than Meets the Eyes" there is thousand and one things that we can use for paper clips...stapler too! Therefore , my conclusion is not between Stapler & Paper Clips, BUT what you need to do with the papers, permanent attached together or just for temporary reference while waiting to be finalise! All the best and do keep in touch!

I usually use a stapler because that way i know that i will not lose any of the papers. if i take the staples out and want to restaple it i will try to staple as close to the whole from the last staple as possible.

Hi, cwong77! I prefer to use a stapler over paper clips instead. It holds so much better. I like to use paper clips when I have a smaller paper.

I use both. if the paper still needs to be open-open again I use peper clip. but if it is not opened again I use staplers.

I prefer stapler since it will give a better hold on papers especially if they were really important ones. Paper clips have the tendency to get loose and they might get lost.
