Standard desktop staplers are useful whenever you have a few pieces of paper you need to fix together but should you wish to secure more than around 20 sheets, you will need a much stronger tool. Attempting to use a standard stapler will see you break it and/or waste a lot of staples needlessly. Our hand operated stapling pliers (also often referred to as ‘book staplers’) are perfect for joining many sheets of paper together – our general purpose model can manage 50 sheets at once and our heavy duty variant 70. These manual pliers are suitable for tougher materials too (e.g. poly bags) and clamping areas of retail and storage packaging that a regular stapler just can’t reach.
