Overview
These Amazon Basics medium binder clips come as a 96-count bulk pack (8 packs of 12) in a 1.25-inch width, designed for everyday office, school, and home use. Each clip is made from tempered steel with a black coated body and chrome-plated wire handles, providing a firm, reusable grip without staples or tape. The medium size is a versatile middle ground — strong enough to hold roughly 60–75 sheets (depending on paper weight) yet compact enough for smaller stacks and projects. Buyers who need a reliable, low-cost supply for organizing reports, classroom handouts, craft projects, or mailroom bundling will appreciate the value and durability of this multipack.

Frequently Asked Questions
A medium 1.25-inch binder clip typically holds roughly 60–75 sheets of standard 20 lb (80 gsm) paper, though actual capacity depends on paper weight and how tightly they’re clamped. For very thick stacks, consider a larger (1.5–2 inch) clip.
