Rapid High Capacity Staples, 5/16-Inch, 5,000 Per Box (90003)

These are a must for stapling layers of ribbons onto the cardboard backing of a homecoming mum (Texas thing-pinterest it!). Hot glue will work if you like burning your fingers or removing webs of glue from everything. No, thanks! I prefer staples so that it's easily removable if I want to change up the layout. You can't do that with hot glue. I digress.. regular staples will only work if you're stapling thin layers, but I used this staple along with a plier stapler to staple fairy led wire string enclosed in deco mesh tubing. The staples held the tube in place without damaging the led wires. I only had a couple of staples that stapled wonky, but overall, they worked great. If you mess up or change your mind, a regular staple puller will work. I don't have a picture of the staple, but I do have a picture of the mum where I used these staples to hold practically everything in place onto the base...and I used lots of staples. I couldn't use much hot glue since the heat would have disintegrated the mesh ribbon.Did you find my review helpful? If so, please vote "Yes" to let me know.

I bought these staples along with the Rapid Classic 1 stapler. These are up to the task, Rated for up to 50 sheets. These will punch through that many sheets without crumpling at all. However, up around that many sheets, they might not fully close on the back-side of the bundle. They certainly do very well at around the 45-sheet mark. Keep in mind that this is with "their" stapler, which is of very high quality.I bought these for use in the office as part of the binding process for machine electrical drawings. Your average office stapler cannot compete with these and the Rapid Classic 1.

using these to baste upholstery seams before sewing. works great with heavy fabric. staples are easy to remove after sewing with a flat head screwdriver

I use these staples with my Rapid K1 Retro Classic Stapling Pliers... what can I say. They are great staples and do the job. I've had zero issues with jamming and when I have to remove them from a project, they remove without an issue.

Perfect for home or office. Our stapler kept getting lost. We received THIS one, problem solved.

These are great staples. Sturdy and sharp! They work as described, for anything from two to fifty sheets of paper. However, I think STANDARD staples would be better for 2-4 sheets of regular paper, as these high-capacity staples are really designed for thicker jobs. With only a few papers, the folded ends of the staple are a bit high, but it's not a big deal...they still work.

Probably a result of warehouse handing and not a problem with the staples themselves, but be aware that if you are going through a high volume of staples you won't be please with this purchase. The strips have broken into a bunch of small pieces which take a lot of time to load into the stapler. No biggie if you staple a couple hundred pages/wk, but gets very time consuming and annoying if you're stapling many thousands/day (which is not out of the question, these staples are used in industrial electric staplers).

We use this to staple polybags to lanyard and it works good. the staples last long and the pricing here on amazon is great.
