Get ready to say goodbye to staples. Not the office supply chain, those little metal pins we’ve relied on for so long to fasten papers together. Japan is currently undergoing the no-staple revolution thanks to some innovative new products that have surprisingly been around for a long time – stapleless staplers!
The humble beginnings of stapleless staplers go back about 10 years. The concept behind them is actually quite simple.The “stapler” punches a wing-shaped slit on one side and then cuts out a kind of spade-shaped tab which inserts into the slit locking the sheets together.
A green, fun and easy-to-use desk accessory from "The Honor of Asia" -- Kokuyo. This innovative piece of stationery has a special blade system that makes two incisions in the paper, then folds them back and finally staples them together. Without the use of those pesky metal staples, of course.
The Kokuyo can fasten up to ten sheets of normal paper and is especially safe for children. Variety of colours available.
