Full details

This guide is for anyone needing a reliable way to secure documents, whether in an office or at home. The Essentials Paper Fasteners offer a simple, effective solution for organizing papers with their durable brass-plated steel construction and 20mm size. A key benefit is their flat head design for easy insertion and removal. The main consideration is that they are designed for paper and may not be suitable for very thick stacks.

FAQs

What material are these paper fasteners made from?

They are made from brass-plated steel, which offers durability and resistance to rust.

How many paper fasteners are in a pack?

Each pack contains 200 paper fasteners.

What does the 20mm size refer to?

The 20mm size refers to the length of the pins, indicating the approximate thickness of paper documents they can effectively secure.

Can these fasteners be used on thick cardstock?

Yes, they can generally be used on standard cardstock, but performance may vary depending on the exact thickness and density of the cardstock.

Are these fasteners reusable?

While not designed for repeated use, they can often be unfolded and reused if they have not been significantly bent or damaged.

How should I store these fasteners?

Store them in a dry place away from moisture to maintain their condition and prevent corrosion of the brass plating.

Can I use these to bind more than just paper?

No, these fasteners are specifically designed for paper products and are not recommended for other materials.

Troubleshooting

Fastener does not hold papers securely.

Ensure the pins are fully folded back against the underside of the papers. For very thick stacks, the fastener may be insufficient; consider using multiple fasteners or a different binding method.

Pins are difficult to insert through paper.

Ensure the pins are sharp and not bent. If the paper is very thick or dense, try piercing a small starter hole first or using a firmer pushing motion.

Fastener bent during insertion.

Apply pressure evenly and directly when inserting the pins. If bent, the fastener may be salvageable by gently straightening the pins, but its effectiveness might be reduced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Gather the papers you wish to secure.
  2. Align the papers neatly.
  3. Locate the desired position for the fastener, typically near one corner.
  4. Gently push the two pointed pins of the fastener through the aligned papers until the flat head rests against the top sheet.
  5. Fold the two pins back flat against the underside of the papers to secure them firmly in place.

Compatibility:

  • These fasteners are designed for use with standard paper and cardstock.
  • They are not intended for use with thick materials like fabric, plastic, or metal.

Care:

  • Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the brass plating.
  • Keep away from moisture.
  • If fasteners become bent, they can sometimes be straightened for reuse, though this may affect their holding strength.
