Using a play-on-words of the ubiquitous paper cut (clip-cuts) these clips won't cut into the paper as an old fashion all-metal ribbed paper clip will often do. The vinyl coating gives a smooth surface against the paper preventing the abrasion common with ribbed metal clips. And because the vinyl is non-slip these clips hold the papers together without slippage. The clips come in many colors and one can choose colors to denote importance or separate papers into different categories.
I love Staples brand Jumbo paperclips. I’m happy to find a tub of 500 clips. The only thing that would make this tub of 500 Jumbo clips better is if Staples Jumbo clips in the Staples bright purple/pink color was included. I love the wonderful and cheerful bright purple/pink Jumbo paper clips but this color was only available for purchase in the store and not online. The tub of 500 clips includes the following colors: black red blue green yellow and silver. The silver color jumbo clips look like plain metal clips but they actually have a plastic coating on them and that is so cool! I highly recommend this product.
