About the original
The Swingline 747 is a full-strip desktop stapler with a die-cast metal frame, a 20-sheet capacity, a flat-clinch base, and a rubber-padded bottom; it is one of the most recognized office tools in the world and has remained in continuous production since its introduction in the 1950s. Swingline was founded in 1925 as the Parrot Speed Fastener Company by Jack Linsky in Long Island City, New York and adopted the Swingline name in 1956; it is now owned by ACCO Brands. The Cherry Red 747 achieved cult recognition after appearing as Milton Waddams's coveted stapler in the 1999 film Office Space. The SS20 Supreme version applies a box logo to Swingline's red body.
About Swingline
Swingline is an American office products manufacturer founded in 1925 by Jack Linsky in Long Island City, Queens, originally as the Parrot Speed Fastener Company. Linsky introduced the first open-channel stapler loaded with a strip of glued staples, eliminating the need to wrap each staple individually and making the stapler a standard desktop tool. The company was renamed Swingline in 1956 and is now owned by ACCO Brands. Its 747 Classic model, reissued in red after the 1999 film Office Space, became a sustained catalog seller. The line spans manual, electric, and heavy-duty staplers, hole punches, and trimmers. Supreme has released co-branded Swingline staplers.
