# Snap Binding Minimal Clipboards Hirock Design Office Unveils the Sleek Paper Jacket By Amy Duong | Published 2023-04-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-jacket References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2023/04/18/this-minimalist-snap-binding-clipboard-lets-you-effortlessly-use-your-favorite-paper-everywhere/) & [shop.yankodesign](https://shop.yankodesign.com/collections/all/products/magnetic-clipboard)  Hirock Design Office unveils its Paper Jacket design, which is a sleek [snap-binding clipboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clipbook) that is made to tightly wrap around the body. There is only space left to hold the papers in place and the 'clip' that keeps it secure remains at a low height as well. It is held down by a [thin and powerful magnet bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hexagon-board-game-trays) to keep it all together. The board opens the clip seamlessly and it is pressed down on the edge to release the paper or add more. It can hold a single sheet of paper or up to 30 sheets of paper at its maximum. The aforementioned [neodymium magnets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m-note) are strong and keep the stack of papers in place.
