While rummaging through the clearance boxes at an
Office Depot store, I came across this
Rapesco Supaclip dispenser and pack of reusable stainless steel clips designed for holding 40 sheets of 80 lb paper. The main reason I picked them up was that I saw them featured in the supplies list of
Selena Lin's Manga School book, and I was a tad curious to see how well they work. Apparently they are commonly used in offices in the UK, yet they are harder to find in office supplies stores in the USA.
The
Supaclips can hold several pages of white card stock together. They can be removed by hand with minimum damage to the top sheets. A couple of the colored clips included with the dispenser rubbed off some color residue on the exterior sheets when sliding them off and left a small indentation on the paper surface. Since they lack the wire handles of common
binder clips, they take up less space while still binding the pages securely. The drawback is that the dispenser tool is required to apply the clips so better not misplace it. I liked them and plan to use them to temporarily bind draft sheets and lesson plans for different projects.

Uni-ball check out this

Just thought that you would like to know that these are now available again in the US at Amazon.com in case you are looking for refills or additional dispensers. They are cheaper than the Uniball ones too.
Thanks for the update. I was already getting low on refills.
