What kind of paperclips do you use? Coated or Uncoated? Colored or just the old timey silver ones? I like the colored coated ones and I like to use only certain colors. Pink is my favorite. I have a co-worker who HATES the white ones says she can't see them on the white paper. Which ones do you prefer and which color is your favorite?

Well i guess i will have to go with uncoated paperclips because thats what i have to use here at my work, they buy them so i can't complain. It really doesn't matter to me.

I always used the uncoated too because my last employer would only buy that kind, but this job they let us pick out what we want to purchase and this is where I first started using the coated ones. I have decided I like the coated best!

I like the coated one because of their color its too attractive and it won't develop a rust.

WOW striped? I have never seen them but I am going to request them the next time I need some. Now gold would be very unique. Must make the co-worker feel rich!

I use the color coated ones. I do not have a preference of what kind I use. Red will be my favorite since it is my favorite color. I can use the regular ones too if I need to.

I have both but prefer the coated ones the best. I always envision a big rusty paperclip left on my paperwork when I use a silver one. hahaha!

I like the coated ones too much more prettier. I also prefer the pink ones. I guess were pinky kind of girls.

I like to use the old-fashined paperclips because mainly they are cheaper than the coloured ones... lol... but maybe after this I might go to a bookstore and buy coloured ones if I want to use paperclips... actually this thought never occurred to me before but thanks about bringing this subject up. It had brightened my spirit a little today. I don't know maybe because your discussion is light hearted but with information. thanks again.

I like the coated ones. But right now I'm using the plain silver ones because I found them in the computer drawer when I cleaned it out today. But when I use the coated ones I don't really care what color it is, I just use whatever I've got.

What a fun topic, like you I prefer the color coated ones, I prefer the pastels for personal stuff and the bold reds, greens and blues for the bills and stuff. My husband however, likes the extra large Gold paper clip (think its a guy thing? I do :) ) -- What irks me though is he will put a nice fat clip on the banking information he wants to do and then put in the drive up banking drawer and without fail every month, those bank tellers keep our paper clip. Why, I'm sure the bank has their own. Your co-worker has a good point about the white ones, their only useful for colored paper and files. :)

Hi, wmg2006. I like to use the paperclips. I like the ones that have colors on them. I am bored with the silver paper clips. I like colors on mines. I like purple, pink and yellow paperclip colors.
