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:;

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.

This notebook portfolio, the sort usually labeled “Executive” by copywriters, measures 13-1/2" x 10" x approx 1-3/4” thick. In black pleather and nylonish canvaslike accents, it's zippered on three sides with a front zippered compartment and pocket, interior card slots and a pencil holder. Comes with a letter-size pad of paper inside, but if you only take notes on those new-fangled electronic tablets, you could keep one of those inside here, too.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

In heavy black plastic with a spiffy black/blue/tan/maroon-striped flap, this portfolio has an elastic closure, interior accordion file, (2) disc pockets, (2) card holders and a letter-sized lined notepad with a pen holder. Measures approx 10-1/2” x 13”.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You get (3) packs of (5) white, 8-1/2" x 11" index dividers with clear offset tabs and reinforced binder holes, plus a place for title, date, #, and detail fields, which you're free to ignore.
