klemmemerker

Klemmemerker, often translated as "clamp markers" or "binder clips" in English, are common office supplies used for temporarily fastening sheets of paper together. They are characterized by their spring-loaded metal arms that grip the paper. The main body of the klemmemerke is typically a flat piece of metal, often black or silver, with two foldable wire arms. When these arms are opened and then released, they press down on the paper, holding it securely.

These markers come in various sizes, ranging from small clips suitable for a few pages to larger ones capable of holding thicker stacks of documents. Their primary advantage is the ease with which they can be attached and removed, leaving no permanent marks on the paper, unlike staples. This makes them ideal for organizing temporary documents, reports, or drafts.

Beyond their common use in offices and schools, klemmemerker have found their way into various DIY and crafting projects. Their clamping ability can be utilized for holding small items during gluing, organizing cables, or even as makeshift parts in repairs. The simple yet effective design of klemmemerker has ensured their enduring popularity as a practical tool for everyday organization and utility.
