KYA SB103020 Series Copper Carton Staples are glue-collated packaging staples designed for compatible pneumatic plier staplers and carton closing tools. The published SB103020 profile has a 12.85mm crown, nominal .103" × .020" wire size, 2.55mm width and 0.55mm thickness.
The series is available in 10mm (3/8"), 13mm (1/2") and 16mm (5/8") leg lengths. Each strip contains 50 staples. Box and carton quantities vary by leg length, so buyers should specify the complete SB103020 model when ordering.

KYA's current product information lists both “Copper Wire” and “Copper Plated”. Buyers requiring a specific base-metal composition should confirm the exact material specification before ordering.
The published inch wire designation .103" × .020" and metric dimensions 2.55mm × 0.55mm should be treated as the manufacturer's nominal series specifications. Where dimensional tolerance is critical for tool compatibility, confirm the required tolerance before purchasing.
The three published KYA models share the same SB103020 series profile but use different leg lengths and packaging configurations.
| Model | Leg Length | Pcs/Stick | Pcs/Box | Boxes/Carton | Cartons/Pallet | Carton G.W. | Pallet G.W. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SB103020-10 | 10mm / 3/8" | 50 | 3,000 | 28 | 30 | 27.55kg | 826.5kg |
| SB103020-13 | 13mm / 1/2" | 50 | 2,800 | 24 | 30 | 26.3kg | 789kg |
| SB103020-16 | 16mm / 5/8" | 50 | 4,500 | 12 | 30 | 24.9kg | 747kg |
KYA also identifies BOSTITCH SB103020 and PREBENA HF as similar reference series. Similarity does not by itself guarantee interchangeability in every tool; confirm crown, wire dimensions, leg length and tool specification before substitution.
Use the 10mm configuration when the carton construction and stapler require a 3/8" SB103020 leg length. Confirm the total board thickness and required clinch before ordering.
The 13mm model provides the intermediate leg length in the published KYA range. Select it only where the carton thickness and tool specification support the nominal 1/2" configuration.
The 16mm configuration is the longest KYA option on this page. Verify that the exact carton stapler accepts the nominal 5/8" leg length before ordering.
Do not select staple length only according to carton appearance. Board thickness, flute construction, number of layers, anvil configuration and required clinch all affect the correct staple selection.
SB103020 staples are designed for compatible pneumatic plier staplers and carton closing tools. Compatibility should be confirmed by exact model and staple leg length.
| Tool | Published SB103020 Compatibility |
|---|---|
| Bostitch P51-10B | SB103020 series, nominal 3/8" to 5/8" leg range |
| Salco SP50-10B | SB103020 3/8", 1/2" and 5/8" staples |
| Bostitch P50-10B | SB103020 series; verify the accepted leg length and tool version before ordering |
| Bostitch P50-10C | Published for the 3/8" SB103020 configuration; do not assume all SB103020 leg lengths fit this tool |
Always check the current tool manual for accepted staple series, crown width, wire dimensions and leg length. The tool model is more important than the manufacturer name alone.
SB103020 is an established carton-closing staple profile used by multiple fastening-system suppliers. Published dimensions can vary slightly between manufacturers even where the products are described as similar.
| Reference | Published Dimensions |
|---|---|
| KYA SB103020 | 12.85mm crown; 2.55mm × 0.55mm; 10 / 13 / 16mm legs |
| SB103020 Nominal Inch Profile | Approximately 1/2" crown; .103" × .020" wire |
When replacing another manufacturer's staple, compare the actual crown, wire dimensions, leg length and tool requirements instead of relying only on the SB103020 series name.
SB103020 staples are used in compatible packaging and carton-closing operations where a plier-style staple joint is required.

Selected fabric-stapling applications using compatible tools
KYA specifies a chisel point for the SB103020 series. The point geometry supports penetration through compatible corrugated board during plier-stapler operation.
The staples are glue collated in 50-piece sticks for feeding through compatible carton closing tools. Tool condition, staple dimensions and correct loading all affect feeding reliability.
The published KYA specification identifies a copper-plated surface. Surface finish can affect appearance and corrosion behavior, but actual performance depends on the staple's base material, coating condition, storage environment, humidity and exposure.
Where a purchasing specification requires a defined material composition, coating thickness or corrosion-resistance level, request the applicable material and finish information before ordering.

KYA publishes a 12.85mm crown, commonly described as a nominal 1/2-inch crown.
The published nominal inch designation is .103" × .020". KYA also publishes metric dimensions of 2.55mm wide × 0.55mm thick.
The current KYA range includes SB103020-10 at 10mm (3/8"), SB103020-13 at 13mm (1/2") and SB103020-16 at 16mm (5/8").
KYA publishes 50 staples per stick for all three listed SB103020 models.
Published box quantities vary by model: 3,000 pcs for SB103020-10, 2,800 pcs for SB103020-13 and 4,500 pcs for SB103020-16.
KYA's current published information lists both “Copper Wire” as the material and “Copper Plated” as the surface finish. If base-metal composition is important to your specification, request material confirmation before ordering.
The Bostitch P51-10B is published for SB103020 series staples in nominal 3/8" to 5/8" lengths. Confirm the required staple dimensions and current tool specification before ordering.
Salco publishes the SP50-10B for SB103020 staples in 3/8", 1/2" and 5/8" lengths.
Do not assume that all three lengths fit the P50-10C. Published Bostitch documentation identifies the P50-10C with the 3/8" SB103020 configuration. Check the exact tool documentation before selecting another leg length.
KYA and other industry references identify PREBENA HF as a similar profile. However, buyers should compare crown width, wire dimensions, leg length and tool requirements before treating two manufacturer's staples as interchangeable.
Select the leg length according to the carton board thickness, number of layers, flute construction, required clinch and the carton stapler's accepted fastener range. Do not select length from carton size alone.
KYA supplies carton staples for packaging distributors, carton manufacturers, warehouses, logistics companies and industrial packaging users. Send the required SB103020 length, tool model, quantity, packaging requirement and delivery destination for product confirmation and quotation.
