Paper fasteners Staples cross clips 41 mm, pack of 50 — Staples OB1690

Staples cross clips 41 mm are metal paper fasteners designed to hold multiple sheets together without stapling or punching. Supplied in a pack of 50, these clips have a cross-style design with two flexible legs that secure documents while allowing pages to be added or removed. The 41 mm leg length provides sufficient reach for thicker sets of paper, making these fasteners suitable for temporary binding, reports, filing and craft projects.

Advantages

The cross clips provide a secure hold that keeps documents aligned and prevents pages from slipping. Their reusable metal construction offers better longevity than single-use adhesives and allows quick adjustments to document order. The 41 mm legs accommodate moderate stacks, and the open design means no special tools are required for insertion or removal. Packed in a quantity of 50, the set is convenient for routine office tasks and small-scale project use.

Suitable for

• Temporary binding of reports and manuscripts
• Office filing and document organization
• School assignments and educational projects
• Crafts and DIY paper projects
• Situations requiring frequent rearrangement of pages

Key specifications

• Fastener type: cross-style paper clip with two legs
• Leg length: 41 mm
• Material: metal
• Quantity in pack: 50 pieces
• Finish: metallic (uncoated)

How to use

To attach the cross clip, align the holes or fold the corner of the document stack as required and insert the legs through the sheets, then bend the legs to secure the stack. To add or remove pages, unfold the legs and reposition them; the metal construction allows multiple reuse cycles. Use the full leg length to pass through thicker stacks and ensure both legs are bent evenly to maintain document alignment.

Usage recommendations

For best results, pre-fold or pre-punch a small opening where the legs will pass through, especially on thicker paper stacks. Avoid overloading the clip beyond its 41 mm reach to prevent deformation. Store the pack in a dry place to reduce surface oxidation and keep spare clips available for ongoing filing tasks.
