How to use Stapleless Staplers

Because the Stapleless staplers does not have a wide jaw that can trap little fingers, and because it does not use sharp staples that can pierce the skin, the Stapleless staplers is safe for all ages. It is even safe for office klutzes that shouldn't be trusted around sharp pointy objects.

The Stapleless staplers is operated by the user inserting up to five sheets of paper in the front loader of the device, and then firmly pressing its wide top as it sits flat upon a tabletop.

The only important thing to remember is only to press down firmly:), which reveals a most clever occurrence...

...the paper has been perfectly punched, folded back and then tucked into itself, creating a staple-less bond between the pages. Of course, the number of pages that can be affixed together is going to depend on the thickness of the paper, but I had no trouble getting five pages of copy-paper to hold. Any more than that, and you'll still have to bust out the old Swingline.

Pages can be stapled in the traditional upper left hand corner, or if an even stronger connection is wanted, the Stapleless staplers can be used several times across the top of the pages or down the left side. Whichever way they are attached - including with only one perforation - I found that the pages kept together quite well when I held the paper stack by one sheet and shook.

Removing the pages from the Stapleless staplers's perforated bond is a matter of releasing the folded paper from the created tab. Depending on the person's skill, the pages can either be reattached with the original perforation, or a new one can be created with the Stapleless staplers.

Now before anyone says, "but removing the paper will leave a hole!" Might I point out that removing a staple also leaves several ugly holes. in this case, the paper that was folded back can simply be folded back as flat as possible.
