What’s the difference between document corners, legal corners, solicitors corners, accountant corners, document triangles, and presentation corners? For some reason, these simple cardstock accessories are known by a whole lineup of names!
Let’s clear up the confusion and investigate the origins of each name…
‘Legal corners’
Not to be confused with the ‘four corners’ legal rule, which states that contracts, wills and other written agreements should be interpreted solely by the content of the document itself – in other words, everything within the ‘four corners’ of the paper.
With multi-page legal documents, it’s crucial to ensure that the document stays in one piece and no pages end up going missing. Legal corners can prevent this by protecting the stapled corner of the paper from tearing, so they’ve become a pretty popular accessory across the legal industry – hence the name!
‘Solicitors corners’
For the uninitiated, a solicitor is a type of lawyer who rarely represent their clients in court, but instead provide the necessary legal advice of bringing a case to court.
Since they deal with a lot of legal documents – and as mentioned above, protecting legal documents from damage is of key importance – it’s no surprise that solicitors have seen the humble solicitors corners named after them!
‘Accountant corners’
Just like solicitors, accountants deal with a lot of vitally important documents on a daily basis; notably invoices, orders and financial reporting. Keeping these documents together and preventing staple tearing is just as essential here as in the legal field.
‘Document triangles’
The triangle shape is certainly the most popular shape for document corners, but it’s certainly not the only one. At DocumentCorners.co.uk, you can select from a range of different shapes, including quarter-circle, square, rectangle or even your own bespoke shape!
‘Document corners’
This is the one we prefer, because document corners aren’t just for contracts and legal documents; they can enhance the presentation quality and durability of a whole range of paper files.
Many industries which don’t really fit into the legal or financial fields still use document corners; either to give customer-facing documents a more professional appearance, to aid with filing and document recall, or to keep employee contracts and client orders safely in one piece.
So, what’s the difference?
Confusing, right? We can’t tell you why they’ve become known by so many other names; but no matter what you call them, document corners are the same product across the board!
