What Is a Desktop Stapler?
A stationary stapler dispenses staples and is typically used in the top left-hand corner to staple two or more pieces of paper together. They are great for thicker documents but consider using paper clips and fasteners when staplers won’t cut it. Desktop staplers can be used in home, school or office settings. Office staplers come in mini sizes, and some even have flat bases to stand up for more space-saving options. After purchasing a stationary stapler, view Quill’s line of copy paper products for when you need to print out your documents.
