One of the most important office supplies around
is a high-quality stapler. Even in this electronic age with e-mail
being really common, you still need a good stapler for those times when
you are working with paper documents. There are a lot of document
fasteners out there, but they're of varying quality and you owe it to
yourself to get one that's ideal for professional use.
One of the most important office supplies

times when you're working with paper documents. There are a lot of
document fasteners out there, but they're of varying quality and you owe
it to yourself to get one that's ideal for professional use. Here are
three that we think are perfect for professional use based on their
stapling capacities, construction, and so forth....
The Novus B4FC.
The Novus B4FC is manufactured by Dahle, a German company that's
primarily known for producing high-quality paper shredders. They also
make great staplers such as the B4FC, a professional device that can
fasten up to 50 pages. This is a flat clinch device that ensures the
staple's legs will be pressed flat so your document will take up less
room when stored in a folder or three-ring binder. (You can also do
pinning and tacking with the B4FC.) This stapler is available in three
different colors (blue, black, gray) and it's backed by an excellent
10-year warranty.
The Novus B54.
This is another great product from Dahle. It's a heavy-duty long-arm
stapler that can handle documents containing up to 170 pages. The throat
depth is just under 10" so you'll be able to use this device for
stapling booklets, etc. There's even a rotating anvil so you'll be able
to do parallel stapling if the need arises. The B54 does require larger
staples so it can handle thicker documents but its bypass system will
enable you to use the same fasteners with thinner materials. And you
don't need to worry too much about jams because the B54 is equipped with
an anti-blocking feature. The B54 comes with a 5-year warranty.
The Swingline Optima 87800.
No article about staplers would be complete without mentioning
Swingline. It's definitely the go-to brand name for high-quality
staplers and on their best if the Optima 87800. This device offers
jam-free fastening even when you're working with a 25-page document.
(Note: you should use Optima or S.F. 4 staples to ensure this happens.)
The Optima 87800 has rubber pads on it so it's comfortable to use even
when you're working with a lot of documents. Swingline designed this
device to be very durable and indeed it is, thanks to all-metal
construction. The Optima 87800 comes with a 100% performance guarantee
and a limited lifetime warranty.
We
found all three of these staplers to be impressive and think that would
be great additions to any professional environment. They have excellent
stapling capacities (especially the Novus B54), are made to last, and
have special features to make them stand out where it's a flat clinching
ability (the Novus B4FC) or jam-free operation (the Swingline Optima
87800). Best all of, they'll give you great results every time you use
them, whether your document is short or long. Consider getting one of
these staplers for your office today so you can securely fasten your
documents.
