A paperclip is a paperclip and there's not too much to say about them but ... 1. I like paperclips with a non-skid finish. They grab on to the pages better. Staples' website makes them very hard to find. Even if I search for "non-skid " smooth finished paperclips keep coming up. And Jumbo paperclips too. I didn't ask for them. 2. This is a small home office. I use about one box of paperclips a year. Staples sells a box of 100 paperclips for about $2.99. I don't mind paying a little more and getting a lower unit price. Last time (admittedly a few years ago) it was about $6 for a package of 5 boxes (500 clips). Today the smallest package is 10 boxes (1 000 clips!) for $11.99. That's what I had to buy so I guess you won't hear me complaining about paperclip packaging for another 10 years or so.
