I don't know much about the device you describe, but fastening papers with something like this is probably way better than staples if the goal is long-term storage. Staples and other metal fasteners are pretty destructive. The National Archives offers guidance for fastened document preservation, for example, here: https://www.archives.gov/preservation/holdings-maintenance/fastened-docs.html https://www.archives.gov/preservation/holdings-maintenance/f.... Staples can add a lot of unneeded bulk to records, too.
