Wire clip in 8 colours – wire clip mechanism, 70 & 120 mm

You've cut a lovely wooden board, sanded it smooth, maybe even engraved it – and now all that's missing is the part that turns it into a proper clipboard. That's exactly what this wire clip is for: a metal clip with a wire clip mechanism, made for your DIY project. It holds paper and card securely in place – and with eight colours to choose from, you'll find just the shade to suit your backing board.

What changes for you

• You can build your own clipboard exactly the way you imagine it – because the wire clip attaches firmly to any suitable backing board via two rivet holes.
• Your notes, order slips and checklists stay put – thanks to the wire clip mechanism, which holds documents securely up to a capacity of approx. 10 mm.
• Your finished board looks all of a piece – because you can choose from eight colours, from gold to black to brushed copper.
• You can plan bigger projects without reordering – the wire clips are available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• You'll have the right mechanism for both small and large formats – with two widths, 70 mm and 120 mm.

Why this wire clip makes a difference every day

A clipboard is only as good as its clip. With a well-made wire clip, your board becomes a reliable companion for writing on the go, ticking off lists or showing the menu of the day – without anything slipping or blowing away. And because the colour of the mechanism shapes the overall look, you turn a simple everyday item into something people enjoy picking up.

Material & finish

The wire clip is made of metal with a high-quality finish – you can feel it when you open and close the wire and see it in the even surface. At approx. 2.5 mm, the wire is sturdily built, while the base plate is pleasantly flat at approx. 0.3 mm, so it sits discreetly on the backing board. The mechanism is fixed firmly and permanently via two rivet holes – the rivets are not included and need to be bought separately.

Good to know about the wire clip

The wire clip is the classic clipboard mechanism: a sprung wire presses your papers flat against the board, so you can write neatly even when standing or on the move. That's why it's still the first choice when you want to build your own clipboard or give an old board a new mechanism.
