Understanding Google Product Category 936
The Paper Clips & Clamps category, identified by ID 936, resides under the Office Supplies > General Office Supplies path. This classification is designed for small hardware fasteners used specifically for organizing and securing stacks of paper.
This category includes various manual document fasteners. Examples from the US market include standard metal paper clips in different sizes, jumbo clips for larger document stacks, decorative enamel-coated clips, and specialized shapes like flower designs. Additionally, this category encompasses various sizes of binder clips, often referred to as double clips, used for temporary but firm document grouping.
Products that do not belong here should be sorted into more appropriate neighbouring groups. For example, if you sell Office Tape, Staples, Rubber Bands, Tacks & Pushpins, Brass Fasteners, or Labels & Tags, you must use their respective taxonomy paths. If your inventory includes Correction Fluids, Pens & Tapes, Paper Products, Erasers, Laminating Film, Pouches & Sheets, or Mounting Putty, these items also fall outside of category 936 and require their specific category designations.
You should choose a subcategory, such as Paper Clips or Binder Clips, if your platform or internal inventory structure requires further granular segmentation for these specific fastener types.
To categorize your items, use the numeric ID 936 or the full path: Office Supplies > General Office Supplies > Paper Clips & Clamps. While the attribute is optional, providing it prevents Google from miscategorizing your products automatically.
