The Rapid Eco Half Strip Stapler takes a half strip of staples allowing it to be more compact. Rapid's patented SuperFlatClinch system flattens the staple, reducing the height of a paper stack by up to 40%. The Rapid Eco Half Strip Stapler is made from 100% recycled plastic and is designed for easy disassembly at the end of its life. Designed to be friendlier to the environment, it also uses soy-based printing and has a recycled cardboard pack.
