Paper Clips & Clamps
How to choose paper clips & clamps
Use case
For office filing, pick metal or stainless steel within the Office Supplies sub-type for hold over looks.
Style
For planner charms, choose fabric, ribbon, or wool blend felt from the General Office Supplies range.
Material mix
Mixed paper/metal or gold/paper clips balance decoration and function for light use.
Colour
Use the colour axis (gold, black, silver, pink, white, red, blue, yellow, green, grey) to coordinate with your kit.
Tradeoff
Weigh durable all metal grip against the soft, pretty feel of felt or ribbon before you decide.
What's good
- Metal and stainless steel clips give a reliable grip on documents.
- Fabric, ribbon, or wool blend felt bow clips turn a plain planner into a personalised one.
- Mixed material clips such as paper/silver or gold/paper offer a splash of colour without fabric bulk.
- The broad colour choice, from gold to grey, helps match your existing stationery.
- Lightweight paper based clips slip easily into a notebook for on the go use.
Things to watch
- Fabric and ribbon clips are thicker, so they suit planners more than thick file stacks.
- Wool blend felt and fabric gather lint, needing occasional care.
- Clips with paper parts, like gold/paper or paper/silver, weaken if damp.
- Plain metal or stainless steel types lack the decorative feel creative users want.
- Bright shades such as pink or yellow may fade in strong light.
Care & maintenance
Storage
Keep metal and stainless steel clips in a dry place to avoid rust.
Protection
Store fabric or felt clips in a small closed pouch when not in use.
Care
Protect paper/metal or paper/silver clips from humidity.
Repair
Ease bent metal clips back into shape by hand, and bin any that crack.
