From paper and packaging to carpentry and upholstery, staples are indispensable fasteners used in all sorts of industries and applications. With specialized designs optimized for gripping strength, corrosion resistance and appearance, the right staples make securing materials quick and easy. We’ll look at heavy duty industrial staples, narrow crown staples for fabric trades, and the many uses of 16 gauge wide crown staples.
Rugged Heavy Duty Staples
In demanding industrial settings, heavy duty staples provide a tough, reliable fastening solution:
- Made of Thick Gauge Steel Wire: Industrial staple legs ranging from .047″ to .062″ diameter pierce even hard materials.
- Extra Strong Wire Composition: Staple wire is often heat-treated for additional strength to resist bending.
- Large Crown Widths: Crowns up to 1-1/4″ wide securely clinch materials with substantial gripping surface area.
- Lengths from 3/8″ to 2″ : Suit almost any heavy duty securing task from packaging to pallets and crating.
- Corrosion Resistant Coatings: Galvanized or stainless steel coatings guard against rust in wet/outdoor applications.
With brawny gripping power, heavy industrial staples make quick work of tough fastening challenges.
Narrow Crown Staples for Upholstery
In contrast to bulky industrial staples, these light-duty options provide a narrow, discreet fastening solution:
- Miniature Staple Legs: Very thin .020″ to .040″ diameter wire won’t damage delicate fabrics.
- Narrow 1/4″ to 1/2″ Crown Widths: Enable subtler fastening with less noticeable protrusion through the fabric.
- Short 3/8″ to 5/8″ Lengths: Prevent excess penetration that could snag fibers on the opposite side.
- Slightly Rounded Crowns: The smooth domed crown profile will not catch or tear threadwork like flat crowns.
- Durable Nickel Plating: Resists corrosion while allowing staples to blend with light fabrics.
Upholstery work depends on narrow crown staples to achieve subtle, virtually invisible fabrication.
Versatile 16 Gauge Wide Crown Staples
With leg diameter and crown width between heavy duty and upholstery options, these moderate staples suit many uses:
- .060″ 16 Gauge Wire Leg: Provides grip strength substantially above flimsy tacks while avoiding damage risk of larger staples.
- 5/8″ to 1″ Crown Commonly Available: Gives flexibility for a range of securing tasks and material thicknesses.
- Leg Lengths From 1/4″ to 2″+: Accommodate everything from fastening paper up to securing Moldings.
- Suitable for Hand and Pneumatic Staplers: Dispensed easily for quick set up whether using electric tools or hand staplers.
- Galvanized, Stainless, and Nickel Plated: Corrosion resistance for outdoor usage while allowing low visibility on lighter materials when needed.
With capabilities bridging light duty and heavy duty work, 16 gauge wide crown staples handle thousands of household, construction, crafting, and business stapling tasks.
With the wide range of engineered staples available, find the ideal pierce, grip, crown size and corrosion resistance optimized for the application. Target the right specialty staples to achieve strong, reliable, and attractive fastening.
