# Continuous Paper Clips Connected Link Clips are Made of the Same Material as Your Hard Copies By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-02-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/link-clip References: [nendo.jp](http://www.nendo.jp/en/works/stationery-collection-3/link-clip/?egenre) With these Link Clips, you will not need to worry about remembering to retrieve your metal fasteners before your documents go in the [paper shredder or the recycling bin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tray210). Nor will you be frustrated by little metal clasps cluttering your desktop or your drawers. This design by [Nendo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-knives) is for a paperclip that is [manufactured from paper too](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rae), made available with the added benefit of an collective chainlike design. Your set of 20 disposable fasteners comes in a closed flower-esque ring with the meandering form of each piece bending into the next one. To obtain a single Link Clip, simply tear one away from its neighbors then slide it around your short stack of sheets. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Connected Link Clips:** The emergence of connected link clips opens up opportunities for integrating paper fasteners with digital systems for improved document management. - **Paperclip Design Innovation:** Innovations in paperclip design such as the Nendo's chainlike link clips offer a more efficient and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional metal fasteners. - **Disposable Fasteners:** The rise of disposable fasteners like the Link Clips eliminates the need for metal clasps, reducing clutter and improving convenience in document organization. ### Who This Affects Most - **Stationery and Office Supplies:** The stationery and office supplies industry can explore opportunities to develop and market innovative paper fastener solutions that cater to modern document management needs. - **Digital Document Management:** The digital document management industry can capitalize on the introduction of connected link clips by integrating them into software and hardware solutions for seamless document organization. - **Sustainable Packaging:** The sustainable packaging industry can leverage the concept of disposable fasteners like Link Clips to create eco-friendly solutions for packaging and organizing various products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Snap Binding Minimal Clipboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-jacket.md) - [Minimalist Clip-Free Clipboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hinge-clipboard.md) - [Note Clip Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/note-clip.md) - [Clipping Pen Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-clippen.md) - [Magnetic Desk Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shearing-magnetic-absorption.md) - [Clippable Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clippable-furniture.md) - [Illuminated Stainless Steel Clipboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fold-b.md) - [Connected Chain Link Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linka-lasso.md) - [Clothespin-Inspired Mechanical Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pentapa.md)
