Much safer than basic paperclips - the package assembled does not fail and does not pick up additional papers accidentally (as traditional paperclips can)
We use the Staples binder clips with almost every file we have they work great in keeping things clipped together until we have had a chance to fasten them down where they need to be. Everyone in our office has a box of them in their desk for quick access. Great product very strong and holds more than one would think.
