A paper clip is a simple, reusable device made of bent wire or plastic used to hold sheets of paper together without a staple. Typically, it’s a flat, looped wire that uses tension and friction to grip papers, with the most common design being the “gem” style, characterized by two and a half loops. Paper clips are used in offices, schools, and for various other purposes, like pushing small electronic buttons.
