Standard binder clips are available in a range of widths, with the most common ones being 19mm, 25mm, 32mm, 41mm, and 51mm (or 0.75 in, 1 in, 1.25 in, 1.6 in, and 2 in).
Other, less common, sizes also exist, from as small as 5mm to around 61mm.
Common Standard Binder Clip Widths
The size refers to the width of the clip’s opening and determines the sheet capacity.
Mini (5mm or 0.2 in): These are the smallest available, suitable for very tiny notes or a few sheets.
Extra Small (15mm or 0.6 in): Ideal for single sheets, receipts, or index cards.
Small (19mm or 0.75 in): Commonly used for light-duty tasks, holding around 40-60 sheets of standard paper.
Medium (25mm or 1 in, and 32mm or 1.25 in): These are the most widely used in offices.
25mm: Best for standard 20-30 page reports.
32mm: Manages thicker stacks, such as project folders or legal documents, holding approximately 90-120 sheets
Large (41mm or 1.6 in, and 51mm or 2 in): Designed for heavy-duty use in print shops or archives.
41mm: Can hold 80-100 sheets, suitable for thick manuals.
51mm: For the largest stacks, holding over 120 sheets or up to 220 sheets, in applications like large binders or industrial use.
The exact holding capacity can vary slightly by manufacturer and paper weight, but these standard widths provide a reliable guide for typical use.
