P2P Magazine | 17 www.p2pmag.co.uk At the beginning of next year (2019), Rexel, ACCO's biggest British brand, is expanding its stapler offering with new manual staplers, the Supreme Omnipress and the Supreme SuperFlatClinch, and two affordable electric staplers, the Rexel 10X and 20BX. ACCO describes the Supreme Omnipress as a game-changer for manual stapling thanks to patented power lever technology that generates 40% more power than a normal stapler, enabling the user to press anywhere along the lever to get good results. The efficiency of this mechanism (and the enhanced performance of bespoke Supreme Omnipress staples) has enabled Rexel to create a smaller, more contemporary design that is said to be more comfortable for in-hand use. Another useful feature is super flat clinch stapling for flatter, more even paper stacks – also a feature of the Supreme SuperFlatClinch stapler. Flat clinch staplers feature a special stapling plate that bends staple legs completely flat after stapling, whereas a standard stapler curves the legs. The Supreme Omnipress is available in white or black, with the option of glossy accent colours and a matching hole punch with press-less technology that requires 50% less effort to use. New choices Next year also sees the introduction of an updated Matador stapler (and Precision hole punch) as part of Rexel’s new Choices range of stylish desktop products. Offering a complete colour- coordinated office solution, the Choices range includes Rexel’s best-selling office products, plus a number of new offerings, including drawer cabinets, letter trays, magazine files, pen pots and waste bins. All are available in a palette of fresh colours, including red, blue, black, white and green. Complementing these desktop products are Rexel Choices plastic and rigid polypropylene lever arch files and ring binders, featuring an updated design with trendy square embossing, and the Matador stapler (introduced in 1956) and Precision hole punch. The updated Matador compact half-strip stapler with integral staple extractor is capable of stapling up to 25 sheets – the same number that the Precision can punch. Made from durable metal with a soft feel handle, Precision boasts a patented paper alignment indicator for accurate punching and a hinged confetti waste box. NeXXT please Rexel is not the only ACCO brand to update its stapler offering. Leitz, founded in Germany in 1897, is enhancing its NeXXt series of staplers and hole punches with additional models and a contemporary new design. Leitz has kept the NeXXt series’ patented Direct Impact Technology for effortless stapling in-hand or on the desk and its distinctive dual-coloured front, but replaced the visible technical details of the staplers and hole punches with dynamic curved lines to emphasise their ergonomic qualities. Usability has been enhanced with a top-loading mechanism for safe and easy reloading of all staplers; a new push button to switch from closed to open stapling; larger magazines for the mini stapler; and an easier slide-in grip zone for hole punches. The collection, which received a Red Dot Award for design, comes in a vibrant colour range, including Leitz WOW white, pink, blue, orange, ice blue, purple and green, as well as classic colours like grey, black and red. New staplers launched by Leitz include the NeXXT electric stapling range, boasting three models (in a choice of eight colours) to meet different user needs, such as the ability to flat clinch and corner staple; and the NeXXt Softpress stapler, which fills a gap in the market by incorporating patented low force technology that requires up to 60% less effort for in- hand use in a sleek compact design. The Leitz Perfect Match promotion, running until the end of 2018, enables customers who buy a trio of a Leitz NeXXt stapler, hole punch and box of staples to claim a free Leitz Sound pen holder or small MyBox storage box in the colour of their choice. www.rexeleurope.com/en-gb www.leitz.com/en-gb/ STAPLING Effortless stapling ACCO Brands has updated its Rexel and Leitz stapler offerings with new models, contemporary designs and innovative power lever technology for effortless stapling Rexel Choices
