Style meets function in acrylic.

Our Take

A stapler that's both practical and refreshingly pretty.

Swingline's compact stapler trades bulk for brains—and a gold-and-clear design that doesn't scream office.

Desktop real estate is precious, and this stapler respects that while still delivering the grip you need.

On price

At $18.21, you're paying a modest premium for the acrylic design and Swingline's reliability—not a budget option, but thoughtfully priced for what you get.

The Criteria

What to weigh

Capacity & Performance

20 sheets, half strip (105 staples)

This is honest workhorse territory—nothing flashy, but it'll handle standard multi-page stacks. The half-strip load keeps refills manageable and the desk footprint minimal. Low-staple indicator means you won't get caught mid-stack.

Design & Build

Clear acrylic with gold accents, compact footprint

The transparent body lets you see your staple supply at a glance, and the gold-and-clear combo actually reads as intentional rather than plastic-y. Swingline backs it with a 1-year warranty, so durability isn't an afterthought here.

Practical Detail

Works with standard Swingline S.F. 3 Premium Staples (sold separately)

You'll need the right staple refills, but they're readily available and inexpensive. The specificity means compatibility isn't a guessing game.

Who it’s for

Ideal for small desks, shared workspaces, or anyone who'd rather have a stapler that looks intentional than one that apologizes for existing.
