How to Select the Correct 73 Series Staple Length

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.

Ask About Staple Selection

Galvanized 73 Series Staples

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.
