Staplers and Staple Removers

All offices need staplers, and when papers are accidentally stapled together and need to be undone, reach for a convenient staple remover.

Paper Clips

Paper clips are common office materials because they keep documents organized and together when stapling isn’t the appropriate option or you don’t want holes in your documents.

Hole Punch Machines

An important facet of business supplies are hole punch machines that allow papers to be hole-punched so they can fit into three-ring binders. This is essential for presenting important information in a professional manner within a compact binder.

Scissors

Scissors are office essentials any workspace needs to have around. Keep at least one pair handy for all kinds of office tasks.

Rubber Bands

Rubber bands are important desk supplies used for common office tasks such as securing sorted mail, small packages and containers.

Binder Clips

Basic office supplies include binder clips because they can secure a variety of office documents together with a strong grip. Binder clips minimize the risk of a group of papers falling apart and leading to a jumble of papers on the ground.

Paper Trimmer

Paper trimmers are essential office supply materials for the fact that they are great for trimming multiple photos, papers and card stock. Paper trimmers have high-performance, titanium-bonded blades that provide three times the strength of classic stainless-steel blades and stay sharp and effective even after long use.
