Mini Story

A wonderful little slice of everyday working life from mid-century Britain. These VELOS 323 staple boxes are the kind of utilitarian object once found in every office drawer, print shop, or workshop — now increasingly hard to find intact. With their bold red graphic design and honest wear, they make a great display piece for a desk, study, or industrial-style interior, or a nostalgic addition to an office ephemera collection.
