Binder Clips are inexpensive, come in a variety of sizes and colors, and are extremely versatile. They can be labeled for stacks of paper (think “To Be Filed” in the office) and the boxes or bins they are clipped to (think “Hand Towels” in the linen closet). They are especially useful when paired with pegs on a pegboard or with command hooks on a wall or door.
