What Are Shaped Paper Clips?

Shaped paper clips go beyond traditional designs — they are bent wire or sheet-metal clips formed into animals, holidays, cartoons, plants, vehicles, logos and any custom outline. Unlike standard clips (simple loops), these add fun, creativity and branding value while still holding papers securely (5–20 sheets depending on thickness).

• Creative Stationery & Organization — For offices, schools, hotels; label files with shapes (e.g. animals for kids' books).
• Decorative & Gifts — Bookmarks, scrapbooks, invitations, party favors, gift toppers.
• Promotional & Business Gifts — Custom logo clips for events, conferences, branding (more memorable than flyers).
