The most common type of office stapler usually takes No. 56 staples, also known as 26/6. In this instance, the '26' refers to the gauge of the wire and the '6' refers to the length of the staple shanks in millimetres. However, there are some less popular staple sizes, in which the first number is not relative to the wire gauge. In these cases, the second number still usually refers to the shank length. There are also a few staple sizes which are just listed as a number. Standard desktop staplers are usually full strip staplers. These staplers can be loaded with an entire strip of staples (hence the name!) and typically have a stapling capacity of between 20 to 50 sheets of 80gsm paper. Perfect for everyday use, full strip staplers are designed to be used on a flat surface. Perfect for home and school use, these high quality metal staples are compatible with standard office staplers. Lever style removers, also known as slide staple removers, are better for removing staples from one or two sheets of paper or from delicate documents. They’re easy to use and slide under the staple to remove them without damaging the paper underneath. If you’re looking for something a little different try a vertical stapler. These staplers usually sit in a stand and allow you to grip the stapler like a handle and punch staples whilst holding the paper up. Sat next to the office printer, a vertical stapler can be ideal for busy office environments.
