Staplers and Staples
Published by Keighley on March 18th, 2008 in Staples & Staplers
Did you know that the majority of stapler faults are due to the incorrect staples being used? The manufacturer always recommends a staple number which along with the staples packaging can cause some confusion.
The first digits 23, 24, 26 etc usually indicates the gauge of wire - the smaller the number the heavier the gauge.
The second digit indicates the length of the shank in millimetres - hence 26/6 = 26 gauge wire with a 6mm shank length.
I t is important to use the correct shank length as if it is to short it will not bind the paper together, and if it is too long there will be too much “fold over.”
