Swingline Optima 40 Desktop Stapler
The Swingline 87845 Optima 40 is a metal desktop stapler designed for office environments. It requires up to 5% less effort than traditional staplers to operate. The unit comes in a black and gray colour scheme and includes one stapler per package.
Suits high-volume desk use; not for heavy binding
This stapler suits users who regularly fasten larger document sets at a desk. It is not intended for binding thick reports or booklets that exceed the 40-sheet limit. Buyers needing to staple very large stacks should look at heavy-duty floor models or electric units instead.
40-sheet capacity with full-strip loading
The decisive specification is the 40-sheet maximum capacity combined with a full-strip staple magazine holding 210 staples. This determines whether the tool matches the typical document thickness handled in your workflow. Model number 87845 identifies this specific Optima variant.
