Jumbo Vinyl Coated Paper Clips
on February 11, 2015
Posted by: Paula K.
I have been purchasing these Staples Jumbo paper clips for the past 15 years now. I use them not only to hold together papers but to mark important paragraphs both in books and on documents that my clients sign. The quality is superb since their vinyl coating prevents the black smudge marks left by their metal based counterparts. Since I color code everything I really like the the "pie-shaped" box design which keeps each color clip separate. The package contains green red yellow blue black and silver clips. The substantial size of the clips allow them to grip more pages and makes them easier to use.
The clips are fine (hard to mess them up). The round plastic holder contains 6 colors of clips...sort-of. That's where this loses one star as one of the compartments contains plain non-coated clips. So 1/6 of these Jumbo Vinyl Coated Paper Clips are not actually vinyl coated. The other star is lost because of the container itself. Of the two I ordered one had split open spilling out the paper clips. The design itself has you tearing off the top in a way that you can't re-close it. Not a problem...unless it gets jostled in a drawer. Bottom line: Perfectly functional but 1/6 are not vinyl coated and the packaging is not great.
These colored coated jumbo paper clips are an excellent way to help organize your office. Many times there are multiple documents on my desk that are all in process. Having coated paper clips helps keep them from getting marked up. And having the colored coated clips helps me keep more organized. I can use specific colors for specific parts of my job or color code them in a priority manner with red as the highest priority then blue green yellow and white as the lowest priority items to be handled. They arrived quickly and in good shape and being able to purchase them in a large quantity helps me ensure that I'll be organized throughout the year.
