The familiar packaging may confuse you, but this tin can holds 30 sardine paper clips instead of seafood. This cleverly cute stationery design by OTOTO will infuse an extra kick of fun to dull paper work. The idea was inspired by a pool of scattered pages -- if a large pile of paper were the ocean, the specks of paper clips could very well be the fish.
Each paper clip is neatly shaped like a fish, but sardine paper clips play up to the theme of seafood, even in its packaging. The paper clips are kept in a graphic-printed sardine tin can that is reusable. The creators mention that these unique stationery items are "Dolphin Friendly, Tuna Friendly... even Sardine Friendly."
