The 20 Gauge 73 Series galvanized plier staples are designed for professional packaging, cardboard, corrugated materials, paper bags, jute bags and other compatible stapling applications. They feature an 11.3 mm crown, 10.1 mm inside width, 1.3 × 0.5 mm wire and leg lengths from 6 mm to 12 mm.

The series includes 73/06, 73/08, 73/10 and 73/12 and is compatible with stapling pliers designed for Rapid 73-type staples, including the HD31. Glue collation keeps each staple strip aligned during loading and feeding, while the chisel-point legs support reliable penetration into suitable packaging materials.
Each standard box contains 5,000 staples, making the 73 Series suitable for packaging distributors, warehouses, logistics companies, bag manufacturers and other professional users.
73 Series staples are heavy-duty plier staples used for packaging and general industrial fastening. The relatively wide crown distributes pressure across the material, while the available leg lengths allow buyers to match the staple to different cardboard, bag and packaging thicknesses.
20 Gauge construction: Designed for compatible heavy-duty plier staplers.
11.3 mm crown: Provides a broad contact area across the fastened material.
6–12 mm leg lengths: Four standard sizes for different material thicknesses.
Chisel point: Supports penetration into compatible packaging materials.
Glue collation: Keeps staples aligned as a straight strip for tool loading.
Galvanized steel: Provides corrosion resistance for suitable indoor and dry packaging environments.
5,000 pcs per box: Suitable for professional and bulk purchasing.

| Reference Tool | Rapid HD31 Heavy Duty Stapling Pliers |
| Staple Series | 73 Series |
| Accepted Sizes | 73/6, 73/8, 73/10, 73/12 |
| Loading Style | Back-Loading Plier Stapler |
| Typical Use | Packaging, envelopes, small boxes, cardboard and bag closing |
For other plier brands, confirm the staple crown, wire dimensions, leg length and magazine specification before ordering. Similar-looking staples may not feed or clinch correctly if their dimensions differ.
| Feature | Function |
|---|---|
| 11.3 mm Crown | Distributes holding pressure across suitable packaging materials. |
| 20 Gauge Wire | Matches the fastener profile used by compatible 73 Series pliers. |
| Chisel Point | Supports penetration into compatible cardboard, paperboard and bag materials. |
| Glue Collation | Keeps staples aligned as a strip for loading and feeding. |
| Galvanized Finish | Provides corrosion resistance for suitable warehouse and dry-environment applications. |
| Four Leg Lengths | Allows buyers to select a staple according to material thickness and required clinch. |
73 Series staples are primarily used for manual packaging and material-closing applications where a heavy-duty plier stapler drives and clinches the staple through or around the material.
| Application | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| Cardboard Boxes | Closing compatible small boxes and cardboard packaging. |
| Corrugated Board | Fastening suitable corrugated packaging materials. |
| Jute Bags | Closing compatible jute and woven packaging bags. |
| Paper Bags | Closing suitable industrial paper bags. |
| Padded Envelopes | Sealing suitable padded mailing and shipping envelopes. |
| Fiberboard | Fastening compatible light fiberboard and packaging components. |

The correct staple length depends on the combined material thickness, compressibility, plier anvil and required finished clinch. A staple that is too short may not close sufficiently, while an unnecessarily long staple may distort the material or create excessive leg overlap.
| Selection Factor | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Material Thickness | Measure the combined thickness at the stapling point. |
| Material Type | Cardboard, corrugated board, paper or woven bag material compress differently. |
| Anvil Type | Confirm the plier anvil used for normal stapling or package closing. |
| Required Clinch | Choose sufficient leg length for a complete closure without unnecessary protrusion. |
| Tool Capacity | Confirm the plier accepts the required 73/6–73/12 size. |
The standard 73 Series product uses galvanized steel. The zinc-coated surface provides corrosion resistance for typical warehouse, packaging, logistics and dry-environment use.
For persistent moisture, chemical exposure, coastal conditions or other corrosive environments, confirm whether a different fastener material or finish is required before ordering.
