Beautifully Simple Staple-less Paper Holding Solution
Once in a while I would come across a design idea that is just pure brilliance, I just have to share it here with you. The sheer simplicity of the solution is just mind boggling. So much so that it sends tingles down my spine. Furthermore, when you start to bring the potential environmental impact into the picture, you can really see that this is just “great design” in action.
Design Engineer Sherwood Forlee has come up with this very clever staple-less paper holding solution. Just cut the slot, fold back the edge and tuck it under the back of the paper. Check out step by step process below and the rest of her fantastic work here.

January 30, 2009 at 9:47 pmGreat idea would be interesting to see how many sheets of paper the solution will hold. very good idea for documents also as often when you send them off they need to be photocopied and hence the staple removed which sometimes damages the corner of the paper. Will be good to see if something like this comes on the market. P.s. She is a he (Sherwood Forlee).
