Staple Compatibility

Most stapler faults are caused by using incorrect staples with your stapler. Always use the staple recommended by the manufacturer of the stapler. The staple number indicated on the packaging, does cause some confession: the first digits 24, 26, 23 etc normally indicate the gauge of the wire, the smaller the number, the heavier the gauge; the second number indicates the depth of the shank in millimetres – hence 26/6 = 26 gauge wire, 6mm shank length. Remember it is important to use the correct shank length – if it is too short the staples will not bind your document together – if too long the staple will have too much ‘fold over’.

Use the tables below to find the correct staples to use in your stapler, plier and tacker.  Please note that the tables show staple suitability, not all staples will be manufactured by the stapler manufacturer shown.
