I've bought Staples brand non-skid size #1 paperclips in the past that have worked wonderfully HOWEVER these clips they are selling now (item #472498) slip off as easily as ordinary smooth paper clips. The grooved surface treatment is basically only on the "edges" of the cliip not the "faces" that actually contact the paper surface. After seeing the nearly non-existent face grooves I compared these clips to the last remaining "old" clip I had left on a stack of a few sheets of paper and these new ones have no grip compared to the old ones. The other Staples brand "non-skid" clip being sold now has the same problem. These are both the #1 standard size clips.
I really like the Staples Paper Clips and use them often. I particularly like the non-skid paperclips as they stay more securely fixed in place. I have an accounting business and rely on paperclips quite a lot these work the best for my practice..
These are great paper clips and we use them in the office each and everyday. Would never purchase any other type of paper clip. We have boxes and boxes of paperclips everywhere in the office and this is the only type and brand that we supply. Would not change it for anything. No matter the cost we will always stick with these paperclips. We have 13 work stations and at least five boxes at each workstation. Maybe even more. We also have cabinets full of extra paperclips as backup for when we run out!!!
Over the years I have ordered many paper clips but Staples offers some of the best paper clips in the business and at a very affordable price. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to my friends and business associates.
