For soft, gentle padding when using binder clips, the best materials are leather, felt, or rubber tubing.
These options protect delicate surfaces and distribute pressure more evenly than the bare metal of the clip.
Here is a comparison of common padding materials:
Material Pros Cons Best for…
Felt Inexpensive, widely available, and very soft. Thin and can still allow dents if the clip is very strong. Crafts, light mounting tasks, and temporary use.
Leather Durable, long-lasting, and can be wet-formed to precisely fit the clip. Creates a professional, non-marring pressure clamp. Requires more effort to prepare and can be a bit more expensive than felt. Permanent padded clips, leatherworking, and other serious crafts where a reliable, dent-free grip is needed.
Rubber tubing A simple DIY solution that effectively protects surfaces. Can be bulky and is not as elegant as felt or leather. Workshops or quick modifications where aesthetics are not a priority.
Thin plastic sheets Plastic-coated clips are also available and rust-resistant, making them suitable for archival storage. May not offer as much pressure distribution as softer materials. Archival projects where rust prevention is critical.
Tips for creating your own padded clips
For permanent pads: If you are a serious crafter or need a set of padded clips for repeated use, consider gluing leather pieces to your clips with contact cement
.
For quick, temporary padding:
For a faster solution, simply cut small pieces of felt or leather and place them over the material before applying the clip.
