Office Depot brand paper clips are a staple private-label product for the international office supply retailer. Originally founded in the United States in 1986, Office Depot has become a global name in workplace solutions.

While the brand originated in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the manufacturing of its private-label stationery items like these paper clips is primarily outsourced to China to ensure cost-effectiveness for bulk office supplies. In the Mexican market, the brand operates through Office Depot de México, which is a key subsidiary managing distribution and local operations.

The ultimate ownership of the brand varies by region. In North America (and for the global trademark), it is owned by The ODP Corporation, headquartered in the USA. However, in Mexico and Central America, the operations are owned by Grupo Gigante, a prominent Mexican holding company that acquired full control of the regional joint venture in 2013.
