For tough material or deep fastening - Narrow crown staples

The narrow staples are more resistant due to the small distance between the legs. It is an effective solution when fastened by hard materials or where deep stapling depth is required.

The staples are covered with a resin to increase the durability of the fixing. They will be much harder to remove.

They are recommended for heavy fixings on wooden floors or panels, OSB boards, frames and partitions.

These are color-coded so you can easily identify them when you want to order them:


How do I choose staple leg length?

The total thickness of the materials to be fixed, the hardness and the type of material determine the length of the staple to be used.

The standard rule to choosing staple leg length

The standard rule is to multiply by 3 the thickness of the material to be fixed. For a 4 mm thick material, use a 12 mm staple.

Staple length when fastening thin or thin material

For fastening a thin or slim material, such as a plastic foil or a fine fabric, a staple 4 mm larger than the thickness of the material is ideal.

For 2 mm thick material, choose a 6 mm staple.

Staple length when fixing wood or other hard material

For fixing hardwood materials for construction, a staple twice long as the material in which it is fastened is sufficient.

Now you know which staple to use, the next step is to choose the perfect tool to complete the project. Find the right stapler!
