About Office Supplies

Office supplies — staplers, folders, notepads — are the everyday tools that keep paperwork and workflow organized.

• The modern stapler was patented in the late 19th century, though simpler fastening tools existed earlier.
• Sticky notes were invented somewhat by accident in the 1970s through an adhesive that wasn't strong enough for its original intended use.
• The paperclip's now-standard looped design was patented in 1899.
• Digital tools have reduced, but not eliminated, reliance on traditional paper office supplies.
