Office Depot® (NYSE: ODP), a leading global provider of office products
and services, today announced the availability of PaperPro® staplers at
more than 1,100 retail store locations throughout the country. PaperPro
first burst onto the scene 5 years ago with their wildly popular
staplers that drive staples through stacks of paper with the pressure of
just a single finger.
The new stapler lineup at Office Depot features approximately 15
different models of PaperPro staplers, including miniature Nano® staplers,
desktop staplers, high capacity and heavy duty staplers – each with
patented spring powered stapling technology.
To showcase this new lineup of innovative stapling products, the
in-store set at Office Depot features clear, simple to read signage and
a “try and buy” station for customers to experience the benefits of a
PaperPro stapler first hand.
“I never really thought that there could be true innovation in such a
classic office product until I saw the PaperPro stapler in action,” said
Steve Mahurin, Executive Vice President of Merchandising for Office
Depot. “We are extremely excited to be providing our customers with the
largest retail assortment of PaperPro staplers in the country.”
“We have always believed that our technology is the future of stapling,”
said Todd Moses, CEO of PaperPro. “To have Office Depot express such
support and such confidence in our products is extremely gratifying.”
PaperPro staplers range in price from $4.99 for a PaperPro miniature
Nano stapler to $59.99 for a high-capacity 100 sheet stapler.
