What Type of Metal Is a Paper Clip?

• Paperclips are all around us.

You see paperclips every day in the office and around the house. You're so accustomed to their presence that you may have never stopped to ask, "What metal are they made of?" The most common paperclips are usually made of one of three materials, and only two of those materials are metal: steel and metal alloys. Plastic is the other most common paperclip material.

Steel

• Galvanized steel wire is the most common paperclip material. This material doesn't rust, and the thickness of the wire promotes sturdy shapes. A paperclip machine forms the wire into the three-bend paperclip design known as the Gem shape. Some steel paperclips are coated in plastic for colorful design purposes.

Metal Alloys

• Metal alloys, such as copper, brass and bronze, are softer than steel but are still capable of being ideal paperclips. Most likely, a metal alloy paperclip will be coated in plastic.

Plastic

• Plastic is melted down and formed into the common oval-within-oval paperclip shape. Although colorful, plastic is not as sturdy as metal, and entirely plastic paperclips aren't as common in the workplace as metal paperclips. As noted, some metal paperclips are coated with plastic.

Fun Fact

• The world's largest paperclip is said to weigh about 4,000 lb. because it is made of solid steel.

History

• The three-bend paperclip design wasn't patented during its introduction into society in the 19th century. It took many years before it was patented along with the machine that creates the design.

Tip

• The galvanized steel used to make paperclips does not rust like other types of steel. Using galvanized steel paperclips keeps papers clear of rust.

How to Make Shaped Paper Clips

• Easily and quickly form paper clips into heart shapes.

You don't have to have special metal-bending equipment or extreme creativity to create a unique and cute shaped paper clip. Shape standard metal paper clips into hearts for Valentines Day or any day that you want to show a family member, partner or friend that you care for them. Or, use this technique just to brighten up your own day and to give yourself something to smile at.

Instructions

• Locate the mid-point of a paper clip where the inside loop touches the outside straight edge of the clip.
• Grasp the outside straight edge between your thumb and index finger and bend the right half of the paper clip up and to the left so that two looped ends now appear to form a backwards "L" shape with one loop still pointing straight out to the right.
• Slide the clip onto a packet of paper with the open, loose end and single loop facing down behind the paper and the "V" shape pointing down on the front of the page so that a heart shape appears to be holding your papers together.
