During pre-pro, Office Space production designer Edward T. McAvoy was faced with a challenge: How to modify Milton’s stapler to justify his deep emotional connection to it. The original script only called for a Swingline stapler. No other details were specified. Within a few days he was standing in an auto body shop with four metal staplers in his hands, explaining to the techs that he was not, in fact, joking – he actually wanted to pay to have all four staplers painted authentic auto-grade Fire Engine Red.
The result was the single most iconic office supply in cinema history.
After the release of Office Space, Swingline was inundated with requests from wholesalers, retailers, and individual fans who wanted jam-resistant crimson conjoining mechanisms of their own. It wasn’t until April 2002 (three years after the film’s release) that the company actually created the 747 Rio Red Business Stapler.
A list of the features from the Swingline catalog include:
- Exceptionally durable die-cast all metal construction.
- Performance driven mechanism with an inner rail for jam-resistance (Milton was right!) and long-term stapling integrity
- Positive locking latch ensures the confidence and control of a secure stapling position
- Staples 2 – 20 sheets of 20 lb. paper with S.F.® 4® Premium Staples
Edward T. McAvoy got a chance to witness the defictionalization of his Red Swingline before he died in 2005. If you want to catch a glimpse of him, then check out the “Satanist-following” scene in Ghost World. He’s the tall baldie who looks like Anton Levey. McAvoy was also the production designer on that film.
