It's not just in the office landscapes of the 80s and 90s that cutting machines and hoola machines are in widespread use, it's also true for those of us who enjoy creative hobbies with fabric or paper. There are many other ways to use a stapler than keeping track of your important papers.
In our range, you'll find a huge selection of different staplers, folders and clips, so you can easily find exactly what you need in your creative toolbox when you shop with us.
Stapler for paper
A staple gun makes it quick and easy to assemble and keep things organized. Instead of having to sit with a glue stick or tape roller, it can be both easier and time-saving to opt for a stapler instead.
Depending on what - and how strong - materials you need to staple together, you can choose from machines that can use different sizes of clips. A small machine can easily join a few pages, while larger ones can shoot clips that can join far more layers with a single clip.
Fabric stapler
As well as paper, fabric is one of the things that a lot of people use a stapler to assemble. The difference between the kind of staplers used for paper and those used for assembly or upholstery, for example, is:
Stapler for paper
The stapler (for paper) clips by pressing the top 'jaw' against the bottom, which fires the clip and simultaneously folds the ends down to lock the materials together. It's the one most people know from the office or school.
It's a great and handy way to keep track of your papers, but also a great tool if you're making decorated carnival rice or other small projects with the kids, because there's no need to wait for the glue to dry or to search for the end of the tape with one hand.
Glue guns for assembly
If you want to tackle bigger projects like upholstering or reupholstering, a staple gun is pretty much indispensable. This type of stapler works by pressing against the surface of what needs to be stapled, and the two handles are pressed together like scissors to fire the clip.
With this type of stapler, the clip is pushed into either wood or similar, so the ends do not have to be pressed in. They sit in the wood like nails and hold, for example, the new upholstery to the furniture frame. This type of staple gun is often more powerful and fires larger clips than paper models.
Staplers
Just like the staplers, you'll also find a variety of hole punches in our range. There are both the classic models that make two holes, but also the more advanced ones that make 4 holes at once.
The hole punches are used to make holes in paper to be put in a folder, but are also a great tool to have in your toolbox when you have small children in the house, because not only is it fun for the little ones to make the holes in different types of paper, there are also lots of opportunities to make fun things with the little circles that are left in the holders on the underside.
Accessories for creative paper hobbies
With us you will always find a huge selection of materials and accessories for everything that falls under hobbies and creativity. It's not just tools like hole punches, scissors and staple guns that you'll find here, but also different kinds of paper that can make exploring the machines' functions even more fun.
Some of the forms of paper that are really popular to work with these days are:
Leather paper
A mix of leather, fabric and cardboard that opens up a whole new world of possibilities for making fun and exciting projects. With a staple gun and a piece of leather paper you can make beautiful bags for storage, key rings or small purses for keys or earphones.
Metallic paper
The shiny surface and bright colours make for hours of fun for children and adults alike. Make beautiful Christmas decorations that even the little ones can enjoy. Crepe houses are easy with scissors and a staple gun, as are little Easter chicks with feathers on their tails.
Cardboard boxes
We've created some lovely cardboard packs that contain a whole rainbow of different colours and sizes to let your imagination run wild. Make seasonal decorations as well as more creative cardboard creations in different colours. With a stapler, it's easy to assemble the different pieces into a large work ready to hang on the wall.
Creative accessories for fabric hobbies
Staplers are also a highly effective tool when working with fabric. Of course, making a cushion with clips is not an obvious task, but larger projects like reupholstering a chair or upholstering an older armchair are almost impossible to do without them.
The powerful clips ensure that the fabric is securely fastened to the wooden frame, and because they are pressed down so hard, they also help to prevent the fabric from pulling or coming loose. This makes your work both easier and quicker to do, and the result much more durable.
