Understanding the Staplers Category
The Staplers category, identified by the numeric ID 947, is located within the Google product taxonomy under Office Supplies > Office Instruments > Staplers. This third-level classification is designated for devices specifically designed to bind paper together using metal fasteners.
What Belongs in Category 947
This category is intended for a variety of binding tools commonly found in office and home environments. Examples from the US market include:
- Standard desktop staplers for office use
- Handheld and portable mini staplers
- Heavy-duty and high-capacity industrial staplers
- Plier-style staplers for manual operation
- Electric and automatic stapling machines
- Long-arm staplers for binding brochures or books
What Does Not Belong Here
Products that do not bind paper using staples should be categorized elsewhere. If your item falls into one of the following neighbouring categories, use that classification instead:
- Staple Removers: Tools used for extracting staples belong in their own specific category.
- Writing & Drawing Instruments: Pens, pencils, and markers belong here.
- Tape Dispensers: Devices for adhesive tape are excluded.
- Office Rubber Stamps: Custom or date stamps do not belong in this category.
- Letter Openers: Blades or tools for opening envelopes are separate.
Feed Implementation Details
To assign this category in your feed, use the numeric ID 947 or the full path: Office Supplies > Office Instruments > Staplers. While the google_product_category attribute is optional, providing it helps Google classify your items accurately, as automatic categorization may be too general for niche office equipment.
