Stapler or Paper clips  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 100/100. cwong77 (1252) 3 years ago

When I used to work in an office, or maybe even now I work from home, I have these 2 items on my desk. I will use lots of paper clips for those stuff that I am compiling, and a stapler once it's confirm. I hate having the used staples (bullets) on my table. I have a colleague who only uses staplers as she finds that having paper clips is not good as the paper will still have the tendency to move around, and she ended up having lots of hole on her paper, since she keep removing the staples. What about you? Do you use just one of these or both?
Happy Sharing, Thanks for responding.. and Happy MyLotting.. happy

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.


myLot reputation of 100/100. cwong77 (1252)  3 years ago

Yes, paper that are stapler together is easier to manage.. If I know I got to carry the papers around, I would use a folder, and having it stapled too.. happy

Thanks for responding


myLot reputation of 85/100. glesil_00 (941)  3 years ago

Yes, true that stapler is much better for papers to carried or distribute. I am not working in an office, but i am in the office, i have my own stapler, but i don't have paper clips. It is more convenient to hold papers by staples than clips. I have that black stapler and because i love to write something that is nonsense and with sense randomly, i used old notebook pages and staple it together. Anything i have printed out staple it before putting in plastic envelop, and not using fastener. Though it can not hold thick papers i still love to used it. I used 35mm.

glesil_00, thanks for responding.. you are good in environment ya.. at least you recycle those paper that you have scribble on, and staple them together.. thumbup

I used both. They are both effective to manage papers and files. Big staplers are important as well to clipped together documents and medium sized clampy clips are also important to put thicker documents together. We have paper clips of varying sizes and colours. Expensive though.Yes, I also use a punch if staplers and big clips do not appeal when used on certain documents. These documents are summarily put into a ring-file for keeps.


myLot reputation of 100/100. cwong77 (1252)  3 years ago

jonjee0203, you sounded like a office organiser.. I agree with you, I must have those paper I want, stapler and file accordingly.. I will get very frustrated if I get my papers all lying around!


myLot reputation of 97/100. jonjee0203 (4680)  3 years ago

I was in the government sector. It's my job to deal with documents. There are many levels of classified documents ranging from open files to top secret ones. Some we can see, others we can't. So my staff would not be seeing some of the documents and I would have to do the physical filing and entry myself.


myLot reputation of 100/100. cwong77 (1252)  3 years ago

Oh.. yes yes.. and we hide those top secret files in our "self" own cabinets, with keys to lock... I used to carry my office safe keys around, just because I am one of the top exec.. happy Hate those chuck of keys, as we can't leave it in the office due to security..


myLot reputation of 97/100. jonjee0203 (4680)  3 years ago

These little office tools continue to be useful even though we have laptops and all kinds of computerisation done in the office. Yes, there is email as well. We clamoured for paperless transactions and yet we have papers to handle. So the pins,staples and clips continue to be useful up to this day!

I prefer stapler too as they are more sturdy and the paper will be 'dead' there and not moving. Paper clips will slip away. But hey you know what? When I switched job from secretarial to teaching in kindie, I tend to use more of paper clips. Not so much for clipping papers, but for art work! Paper clips makes lots of wonders in art!lol


myLot reputation of 100/100. cwong77 (1252)  3 years ago

submerryn.. thanks for responding.. "killing" the paper with stapler.. happy

I am not a art person, so paper clips to me is a stationary.. if you ask me anything about craft.. I am sure dead! w00t

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.


myLot reputation of 100/100. cwong77 (1252)  3 years ago

jules67, thanks for responding.. yes, the paper clips will somehow not fasten for secure..

I personally prefer Paper clips because in our office, we tend to change papers and things quickly as lot of modifications happen. Pinning it up with Staples means that bunch of papers will not be changed at any cost.


myLot reputation of 100/100. cwong77 (1252)  3 years ago

tskmjk55, thanks for responding.. and yes, if you change paper alot, it will be very troublesome to remove the staples... good to have paper clips.. thumbup

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.


myLot reputation of 100/100. cwong77 (1252)  3 years ago

kennishababy, you are good to avoid making too many holes with your paper.. thumbup

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.:)


myLot reputation of 100/100. cwong77 (1252)  3 years ago

katheen.. you must have numerous time being hurt by staples ya.. yes, sometimes if we are being not careful it is very painful for that... and thanks for responding..

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.


myLot reputation of 100/100. cwong77 (1252)  3 years ago

cream97, thanks fore responding.. I think most people now prefer the staple over paper clips as it hold things better... happy Happy MyLotting

I work in an office also and use both stapler and paper clips. I personally like to use a stapler. Just because to me it seems to be much faster and I dont have to worry about pulling it aprt or papers coming loose which has happened to me before. I like your idea of paper clips until everything is completed. Id stick with my stapler if I had to choose though!


myLot reputation of 100/100. cwong77 (1252)  3 years ago

erikmama.. thanks for responding.. and I think most people prefer the stapler as it's really a "killer" to the paper.. lol
