All manner of things need to be held together, and discount binder clips are the most versatile way to keep them neat and organized. They come in sizes just over half an inch wide, up to 2 inches wide, and the wider they are, the thicker the material they can handle. They’re easy to buy in quantities between a dozen and 100, when you order your regular discount office supplies.

You can use discount binder clips to hold your place in a thick planner or log book – or any book, for that matter. You can use binder clips to organize thick sheaves of paper – for example, a high school teacher with five classes’ worth of tests to grade can easily keep the classes separated using a binder clip for each one. An attorney with a file three inches thick can keep papers categorized chronologically or by subject using binder clips. And nothing works better than a discount binder clip for holding bags of snacks or coffee closed for freshness.

The simplicity and flexibility of discount binder clips makes them a wonderful thing to keep around, but because they’re so small and useful, they also have a tendency to be taken and not returned. Anticipate this by always stocking up on binder clips when you order discount office supplies.
