OFFICE

Pocket protectors are for nerds (like us) but sheet protectors are for smart and sensible people (like you). Not bed sheet protectors! The (100) sheet protectors in this package are for your important documents. At 11" x 9-1/4" with reinforced edges and (11) holes punched in them (so they’ll fit any binder), these things are priceless at less than five bucks for the lot. Acid-free and archival-safe, too. javascript:;

You'll be fooled, too, by this supple presentation binder that looks and feels like black leather. Inside are (24) non-glare plastic pages with black inserts to hold (48) sheets back-to-back. Sheets are archival, heat-resistant, transfer-free and safe for all art photos, graphics or print. You pick the 12" x 18" for 11" x 17" sheets, or the 10" x 12" for 8-1/2" x 11" sheets.

PLEASE NOTE: The portfolios are physically 12" x 18" and 10" x 12". The maximum size sheet they can hold are standard 11" x 17" and 8-1/2" x 11" pages respectively. 

These easy-to-locate fridge or filing cabinet clips, 3-1/2” long x 1-1/4” wide, have big serrated jaws, and a disc magnet on the back. In white plastic with rubber grips in red, but possibly other colors, that we'll pick because who cares what colors your shipping lists hang from and that's the way surplus works. These things never go out of style. Stock up.

The low-profile, approx. 5" wide steel clip stands just 5/16" above the 1/8" thick natural-tan pressboard of this trim clipboard. Measures approx. 12" x 9". Made to slip conveniently into a briefcase, but also has a hole on the backside of the clip for easy hanging.

The cutest spring clips we’ve ever seen--and some of the strongest. These plated steel beauties look like little Keith Haring-esque strongman figures ready to press your notes over their heads so people will see them. Appropriately, their spring action is super-strong, too. Measure 1-1/8" tall and open to a max 3/4”. Our each is a pack of (6) little people-like clips. They stand on their own so they’re perfect for holding place cards, too.

You could use this jumbo clip to close your bag of chips, and you could write your name on it, or slip your business card into the slot on the front, so your family and co-workers will know to keep their grubby little fingers off your snacks. It's a giant 6" wide x 5" plastic clip with a large magnet on the back and it'll clamp down and hold on your fridge as many as (25) sheets of paper all at once, if you're not into salty snacks. Stick it to the fridge or file cabinet and use it to hold shopping lists, overdue expense receipts, love notes or gentle threats to family, co-workers or both. We'll pick one in red or blue, neither of which will match your fridge or file cabinet, probably.

Get this pack of (15) 8-1/2” x 5-1/2” sheet protectors for half-size daily planners. They’re seven-hole-punched for Wilson Jones® calendars, but will also fit most binders, including three-ring versions if you throw caution to the wind and skip some holes.

These professional executive portfolio covers for presentations will hold up to (50) sheets each. In black vinyl with a silver-gray binding, they have (2) interior pockets plus a transparent business-card slot. No amateur executives need apply.

Sorry, like lunches, there are no free paper clips, but these 1-1/2” x 1-1/4” steel butterfly clips are dirt cheap at under four cents each, and you can’t hardly get anything for that. You’ll get (50) clips per package, and we’ll send you (2) packages.

It doesn’t stain when you spill your latte on it. You pick from our selection of plastic (polypropylene) three-ring binders with 1-1/2” rings, measuring 11-3/4” x 10-1/4”. You choose berry, lime-ish green, or Wedgwoody blue (Teal to those without an art degree.) with 1/16” thick covers, or the thinner, 1/32” cover, in blue only.

Somewhere there are a bunch of three-ring binders that have lost their rings. Our each is (10) of these steel rings, 3” dia x 3/16”. Their standard binder-style snap locking mechanisms are opposite the hinges. Could go on big wooden curtain rods or shower curtains, or you could buy a bunch and go into the binder business. Also: bracelets or really insecure handcuffs.

Remember your uncle who played the accordion? Well, this has nothing to do with him except that we have a bunch of great, plastic 13-pocket accordion folders at 10-3/8" wide x 5-3/4" x 1", each with an elastic band closure and alphabetized tabs. In translucent white with red, blue, purple or gray covers and bands. They’re about the size of a clutch, so you ironic hipsters could start a trend by using them as purses when you step out on the town.

Lesser file folders for smaller projects. In recycled plastic, they measure 8" x 9" with (5) tabbed 8-3/4" x 6" sleeves with stickers to mark them, a business card sleeve, pen slot, ruled 30-page 6-3/4" x 5" notepad and an elastic loop closure on the front. You pick green, tan or translucent white.

Let it all show with this transparent white plastic attache case/portfolio. Measures 12” x 8-1/2” x 3” with a black plastic catch and carrying handle. Comes folded flat, but locks open via (4) tabs. We like it for travelling when you briefly need a briefcase but don’t want to carry one around for the rest of the trip. Add a scarf liner and it converts it to an attractive purse, and a couple pieces of paper and scotch tape convert it to non-transparent.

No, really, these X-shaped thingies (Butterfly Clips) are actually called Ideal clips, although frankly we think they look more like houseflies. Whatever. You get (2) boxes of (50) plated steel clips, 2" long x 1-1/4" wide. Think of them like heavy duty paper clips--great for keeping stacks of paper together, or for sliding onto the folded-over openings of chip and cereal bags.

Think: holders for handouts, or for table-top displays that will hold 8.5” x 11” sheets for students or employees to take. In heavy plastic from Mead®, they unfold into an easel with a pocket to hold sheets horizontally in front, and a clear plastic window below, to identify the contents. When not in use, they fold up, and have an elastic cord to hold them closed. We’ll pick a pair in blue, aqua or lime green.

The smart money is on plastic folders. They last forever and they come in translucent colors. You pick green or burgundy, measuring a standard 9-1/4” x 11-1/2" with 5" deep internal pockets on both sides.

Yes indeedy, these are gem clips, the ubiquitous standard basic quotidian paper clips you’ve been using since the 1890s, which means it’s probably time to retire. You typical 1-1/4” steel clips in boxes of (100).
