Even while much of today’s workforce is moving towards a digital platform, there are still many offices today that operate using paper. What better way to keep papers together than with staples?
Staplers have been around since the 1700s surprisingly enough, and the invention of the stapler came about when the invention of paper. The first stapler came about when King Louis XV wanted a way to keep papers together, and thus the stapler was invented to do so.
Although many improvements to the mechanical design of the stapler, the 1800s sparked a wide variety of inventions and improvements to technology that helped spark the industrial revolution and its economic flourish of businesses and offices.
The stapler’s design, as a result, hasn’t been changed since the 1930s because of how impactful it became in office life.
According to DullMen’sClub, the holiday was submitted to McGraw-Hill for inclusion to their Chase’s Calendar of Events for 2013. Since it was accepted, the holiday has continued to be part of the Chase Calendar of Events for each year.
Fill Our Staplers Day centers around a simple concept; fill up office staplers so people can keep working and get their work done on time. Why does such a holiday exist? Simply because of how annoying it can be to find that your stapler has no staples in it.
If there are no staples in your stapler, you’d have to either ask someone to fill it for you or go get the staples yourself. When that happens, it delays your work and can potentially get you in a lot of trouble if your work is critical by a certain time.
