How to keep paper together without staples? It’s a common question. When you’re presenting an important client or potential customer with a document, it’s best to present it as nicely as possible. And staples can look clumsy, unprofessional and unsightly. So how do you keep paper together without staples? We have some suggestions…
Legal corners stationery
Perhaps you don’t want to damage your important documents by stapling through them? Or maybe you just don’t like the aesthetic created by staples? Either way, legal corners fast hold paper, keeping it in place, without the need for staples. A legal corner (sometimes called document corners or accountant’s corners) is a small shaped card holder, designed to fit around multiple sheets of paper. Choose from classic triangle, circle, rectangle, square, star, sharp triangle – or take advantage of our die cutters to create your own custom shape!
If you choose a custom shape, why not pick a legal corner in the shape of your company logo or most recognisable product? It’ll certainly stand out!
Legal corners will not only hold together your important documents without the need for staples, holes or other damage, they will also simultaneously promote your brand. We offer custom design printing – so include your logo, contact details and company message for some front-row promotion!

Other methods to keep paper together without staples
If you’re not keen on using a legal corner you can always try one of these methods:
- Create a brochure or booklet or pamphlet, whereby the pages are glued and bonded together.
- Pop your documents into a ring binder (although this will require hole-punching the papers)
- Invest in a large scale novelty paperclip or bulldog clip
- Put your papers into a file with plastic sleeves- eliminating the need to damage the paper with holes or staples
- Fold back the corners to form a loose bundle – warning! This looks unsightly and will permanently crease your papers.
