Innocuous and Efficient: Stapleless Staplers

by Justin Thomas on August 1, 2004

Stapleless Staplers are a more efficient way to bind paper. The models available today are designed for small binding tasks (5-7 pages max).

The stapler seen above is available for about $21 from Amazon. Other models are be seen here.

I have a paper fastener very similar the bottom picture.
I bought it with other stuff at a rummage sale
The only mark is on one side says, Japan patented.
It works, I put a small piece of tape over the folded tabs
