The Enduring Popularity Of Swingline Staplers

Using a Swingline stapler has become one of the most popular ways of stapling one’s documents together. Indeed, the manufacturer has the stapler market more or less cornered for a few key reasons. Not only has the company been in business for a long time, but they consistently produce some of the best staplers available and they’ve even found their way into pop culture. (How many office products can you say that about?) Here are three reasons why Swingline products are so popular and, ultimately, why you should use one.

1.) A long company history. The Swingline name has only been around since the mid-1950′s, but the company got its start as the Parrot Speed Fastener Company in New York circa 1925. The company produced its first products in a Long Island City-based factory and they become very popular in the late 1930s because they were the first models that allowed the user to open up the device and pop in some staples. The organization later changed its name to Speed Products right around the time of World War II. Years later, the company became a division of ACCO Brands and in the 1990s, it moved production of its iconic products down to Mexico. In other words, this company has been around for a very long time, almost an entire century, which is almost as long as such luminaries as Ford, General Electric, and NBC have been around.

2.) A cultural superstar. Swingline staplers have become a pop culture icon with appearances in some very popular movies and television shows. For example, Office Space, a movie that satirized the workaday lives of cubicle dwellers, featured a character named Milton (played by Stephen Root) who was more than a little attached to his red Swingline. In fact, his attachment to it helped coin the catchphrase, “Have you seen my stapler?” and made the film one of the most popular cult movies ever. Interestingly, one of the company’s products later showed up in an episode of the TV show “Scrubs” and was used by Dr. Cox, portrayed by John C. McGinley who happened to also play Bob, one of efficiency experts in Office Space. Finally, there’s the unforgettable episode of “The Simpsons” in which school principal Seymour Skinner is seen playing with army figures and later attacking them with a Swingline stapler.

3.) Great products. Obviously, a company that’s been around for almost 100 years has got to make high-quality products and that’s definitely the case with Swingline. No matter what your stapling needs are, there’s a product that’s right for you. The company produces the Tot, a small, brightly colored device that’s small enough to fit into your pocket so you can use it at work, school, or anywhere in between. Then there’s the classic desk models, including the bright red 747, Milton’s stapler of choice. The company also produces a full line of electric units including handheld ones that give you total control over your document fastening. And for more heavy-duty applications, there’s a terrific selection of high-capacity and long-reach models for those special documents.

When you use a Swingline stapler, you’re using a first-rate product from a company that’s so successful and popular, its name has become a part of both history and the pop culture landscape. Use one of these products today and be a part of a cultural phenomenon.
