Quick Guide
How to Identify Your Staple Size
Three simple steps to ensure perfect compatibility every time.
1

Check the Magazine Label

Open your stapler's magazine. Most manufacturers print the required staple designation (e.g., 24/6, 26/8) directly on the metal tray or inside the lid.

💡 Tip: If the label is worn, check the user manual or product packaging for specifications.
2

Measure Wire & Leg Length

Use digital calipers to measure the wire diameter and leg length. Standard office staples are 0.65mm wire with 6.0mm legs.

📏 Note: A 0.1mm difference can cause jamming. Precision matters for high-volume machines.
3

Match Capacity to Usage

Choose leg length based on your typical paper stack. Shorter legs (6mm) for 1-20 sheets, medium (8mm) for 21-50, and extended (10mm+) for binding.

⚡ Pro: Over-specifying leg length won't harm your stapler, but under-specifying causes misfires.
Common Questions
Compatibility FAQ
No. The wire gauge on 26/8 staples (0.80mm) is significantly thicker than 24/6 (0.65mm). Using a heavier staple in a light-duty stapler can jam the mechanism, bend the anvil, or void your equipment warranty.
The first number represents the wire gauge/thickness (lower number = thicker wire). The second number indicates the leg length in millimeters. So 24/6 means a 0.65mm wire with 6.0mm legs.
Yes, provided the physical dimensions match. Our Eco-Green line uses the same precision engineering as standard grades, just with recycled steel and bio-coatings. Check the designation match, not just the marketing label.
Jamming is often caused by inconsistent manufacturing tolerances, rust/corrosion on the legs, or worn magazine springs. StapleCraft Pro staples are cut to ±0.02mm tolerance and zinc-coated to prevent friction buildup.
Yes. We manufacture mag-fed strips, cartridge packs, and custom-length staples for automated binding and packaging systems. Contact our technical sales team for OEM specifications.
