How to Create a Temporary Staple
Create a Temporary Staple
Most people consider a staple a semi-permanent
way of fastening and look to tools such as paper clips for temporary
fastening. But did you know that with many staplers you can
create a temporary staple? It's easy and very useful.
What is a temporary staple? It's a staple that
connects the sheets together but can be removed without using
a remover or breaking a nail! You simply pull on one end of
the staple leg and the staple easily slides out of its holes...no
mess, no fuss.
Most staplers generally form a staple into a
c-clinch...a straight line across the top sheet of paper and
the legs pointing in towards each other under the bottom sheet.
But if your stapler has a rotating anvil (that's the metal plate
on the base of your stapler that folds the staple legs), just
turn the anvil 180 degrees and the next time you staple, the
legs will point away from each other, forming a straight line.
Your staple will look as though you have pinned the pages together
and, like a pin, the staple will be easy to remove from the
sheets.
