Troubleshooting & FAQ

\n

Common compatibility issues and rapid solutions

\n
\n
Why do staples bend during feeding?▼
\n
Bending usually indicates a mismatch between staple crown width and the stapler's feed rail. Verify your model's required crown width (10.1mm vs 12mm vs 15mm) and ensure you're not mixing standard staples into heavy-duty machines.
\n
\n
\n
Can I use 24/8 staples in a 26/6 machine?▼
\n
Not recommended. 24/8 staples have a wider crown and thicker wire gauge, which can cause jamming or damage the feed mechanism in machines calibrated for 26/6. Always match size to manufacturer specifications.
\n
\n
\n
How do I prevent rust on unused staples?▼
\n
Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct humidity. Our zinc-coated and eco-polymer coated lines offer enhanced corrosion resistance, but proper storage extends shelf life to 5+ years.
\n
\n
\n
Do you supply custom OEM staples?▼
\n
Yes. Send us your machine's technical sheet or a sample batch. Our engineering team will match wire gauge, crown width, leg length, and coating within 5 business days.
