Paper clips FAQs

What's the difference between a paper clip, a bulldog clip and a foldback clip?

A paper clip is bent wire that slides over a few sheets. A bulldog clip has a spring and a flat lever that clamps thicker bundles. A foldback clip has fold-down wire handles that can be removed or folded flat.

What size paper clip should I use?

25mm to 33mm paper clips suit a few sheets. For thicker sets, use a bulldog or foldback clip sized to the stack.
