The smooth grip stapler was born out of a conversation about user relationships with their stapler.  The discussion lead down the path of transforming the perception of the stapler as a needed workspace tool to a feeling of desired workspace companion. 

The team was relentless in driving to a solution that infused the elements of the Swingline brand, while pushing the boundaries of what a contemporary, fresh workspace companion should be.  The fruit of this convergence is a design that communicates a sleek, technological aura, while simultaneously boasting the most superior ergonomics in the market place, and Swingline functional dependability.
