Sizes and Finishes
Clips and pins are stocked across a size range so a station can match the fastener to the job: standard and jumbo paper clips, mini through extra-large binder clips, and short and long push pins. Nonskid and colored finishes support visual sorting - color-coding batches by unit, shift or priority - while plain finishes cover general clerical use. Rubber bands are stocked in assorted-size boxes and single-size bulk bags for high-volume bundling.
Clips, fasteners and pins are a low-cost, high-frequency reorder line that any paper-handling department consumes steadily, from admissions and records to unit clerical stations. Because the items are small and easily depleted, consolidating the full assortment under one wholesale account with standing orders keeps stations stocked and holds down per-box cost across departments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a paper clip and a binder clip?
A paper clip is a bent wire fastener that holds a light stack of pages by friction and is best for small batches. A binder clip is a spring-steel clip with folding handles that grips thick document sets with much stronger, adjustable pressure and does not slip off. Facilities stock paper clips for in-tray sorting and light batching, and binder clips in a range of jaw widths for routing folders and thick files.
What sizes of binder clips are stocked?
Binder clips are stocked across the standard size range - mini, small, medium, large and extra-large - defined by jaw width and capacity. Smaller clips hold a few sheets for note batches, while large and extra-large clips grip thick file sets and manuals. Assorted-size boxes and single-size bulk boxes are both stocked so a station can standardize on one size or keep a full assortment.
Are colored and nonskid clips available for visual sorting?
Yes. Paper clips and binder clips are stocked in colored and coated finishes in addition to plain steel, which supports color-coding document batches by unit, shift or priority. Nonskid coated paper clips resist sliding off thin stacks. Push pins and tacks are also stocked in assorted colors for coding notices and grids on unit boards.
Can facilities order clips, fasteners and pins in bulk?
Yes. Clips, fasteners, pins and rubber bands are stocked in box, tub and case quantities for hospitals, surgery centers, long-term care facilities, clinics and licensed distributors. Standing order programs cover the highest-turn items - standard paper clips, medium binder clips and assorted rubber bands. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What clips and fasteners should be in a facility office formulary?
A facility formulary for this line typically includes standard and jumbo paper clips, a range of binder clip sizes from small to large, two-prong and brass paper fasteners for chart assembly, push pins and tacks for unit boards, and assorted rubber bands. Records and admissions areas usually add extra-large binder clips and bulk rubber bands.
