KYA 94 Series aluminum staples are 18 gauge medium-wire fasteners designed for cabinetry, furniture manufacturing, casework, wooden crates, light packaging and general wood assembly. They use an approximately 13.45mm crown with a 1.25 × 1.00mm wire section and are available in leg lengths from 10mm to 40mm.
The aluminum construction provides a lightweight fastener that does not form red rust like carbon steel. Aluminum can still oxidize or corrode in aggressive environments, so material selection should be based on the substrate, moisture exposure, chemicals and required joint strength.
94 Series staples are identified by more than gauge alone. Crown width, wire width, wire thickness, leg length and strip geometry should all match the stapler before production use.

Packing quantities are based on the listed KYA configuration. Confirm current carton and pallet packing for the selected material and leg length before calculating shipment volume.
The approximately 13.45mm crown distributes the clamping load across a wider surface than narrow crown staples. This makes 94 Series staples suitable for cabinet backs, furniture panels, casework, shelving components and other assemblies where a broader crown is appropriate.
The crown dimension must match the stapler magazine and driver system. A different 18GA staple series should not be substituted solely because the wire gauge is the same.
The 94 Series uses an approximately 1.25mm wide × 1.00mm thick wire section. This geometry is commonly used across industrial 94 Series-type stapling systems.
When sourcing replacement staples, match wire width and thickness in addition to the 13.45mm crown and required leg length.
Leg lengths from approximately 10mm to 40mm allow the 94 Series to cover a range of thin panels, cabinet components, furniture parts and thicker wood assemblies.
Staple length should be selected according to the thickness and density of the materials being joined. A longer staple is not automatically better because excessive penetration can break through the back of a panel or interfere with the finished surface.
Aluminum staples are lighter than comparable steel fasteners and do not produce conventional red rust. They are also generally non-magnetic, which can be useful in selected manufacturing and packaging applications.
Aluminum is softer and has different mechanical properties from carbon steel or stainless steel. Confirm that aluminum provides sufficient holding performance for the specific substrate and load before replacing a steel staple.
| Material | Characteristics | Typical Selection |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum | Lightweight, no red rust, generally non-magnetic and softer than steel. | Selected cabinetry, furniture, packaging and applications where aluminum properties are useful. |
| Galvanized Steel | Steel base material with zinc corrosion protection. | General wood assembly where steel strength and moderate corrosion resistance are required. |
| Stainless Steel | Higher corrosion resistance than standard galvanized carbon steel. | Humid, exterior or corrosion-sensitive applications where the exact grade is suitable. |
94 Series is an established industrial staple geometry. Market tool references include Atro 94, BeA 94, Omer 94 and other staplers specifically designed for the same approximately 13.4mm crown and 1.25 × 1.00mm wire format.
Tool brand alone does not guarantee compatibility. A manufacturer can offer several 18GA staplers with different crown widths. Confirm the exact tool model, accepted staple series, crown, wire section and leg-length range before use.
| Market Reference | Compatibility Guidance |
|---|---|
| Atro 94 | Common 94 Series reference; confirm tool leg-length capacity. |
| BeA 94 | Common 94 Series reference; verify exact stapler model. |
| Omer 94 | Common 94 Series reference; verify leg-length range. |
| Bostitch 94-Type Systems | Use only where the tool specification explicitly accepts the 94 Series geometry. |
| Prebena HB-Type Reference | Check exact crown, wire section and tool specification before substitution. |
| Other 18GA Staplers | Do not assume compatibility from gauge alone. |
94 Series staples can be used for selected cabinet backs, shelving components, casework and panel assembly where an 18GA medium-wire fastener with a 13.45mm crown is appropriate.
For thin plywood, MDF or finished panels, test staple length and drive depth before production to reduce the risk of breakthrough or visible marking.
Furniture backs, frames, panel components and light wood assemblies are common applications for the 94 Series format when the selected material and leg length provide the required holding performance.
For dense hardwood or higher-load joints, confirm whether aluminum fasteners provide sufficient mechanical performance or whether galvanized or stainless-steel 94 Series staples are more appropriate.
94 Series staples can be used for selected wooden crates, lightweight packaging assemblies and wood-to-panel fastening where the 13.45mm crown and available leg lengths match the materials.
For heavy-duty crates, export packaging or structural load-bearing assemblies, fastener material, penetration depth and joint design should be verified separately.
The 10–40mm leg range allows 94 Series staples to be selected for paneling, backing boards, trim components and other light-to-medium wood fastening applications.
Choose a staple that provides sufficient penetration without protruding through the back of the workpiece.
Application images are for general fastening reference. Always use the 18GA 94 Series dimensions specified for this product when selecting staples for production.

KYA supplies 94 Series staples for cabinet manufacturers, furniture factories, packaging operations, woodworking companies and industrial fastener distributors.
For bulk orders, provide the required staple material, leg length, quantity, tool model and application. If replacing another brand, provide the existing staple series and physical dimensions so compatibility can be checked before production use.
KYA supplies medium wire staples in multiple crown widths, wire dimensions, leg lengths and materials for cabinetry, furniture, paneling, packaging and industrial wood fastening.
KYA 94 Series staples are 18GA fasteners with an approximately 13.45mm crown and 1.25 × 1.00mm wire section. Available leg lengths range from approximately 10mm to 40mm.
Yes. The KYA 94 Series uses an 18GA medium-wire staple profile.
The KYA specification lists an approximately 13.45mm crown.
The listed wire section is approximately 1.25mm wide × 1.00mm thick.
KYA lists 94 Series lengths from approximately 10mm to 40mm, including 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 21, 22, 25, 28, 30, 32, 35, 38 and 40mm.
The listed configuration uses approximately 100 staples per stick.
The standard listed quantity is approximately 7,000 staples per box. Confirm current packaging for the selected length and material before bulk shipment.
Use a stapler specifically designed for the 94 Series geometry. Market references include Atro 94, BeA 94, Omer 94 and other tools that explicitly specify the same crown and wire dimensions.
No. Tool manufacturers offer multiple 18GA staple systems with different crown widths. Confirm the exact stapler model and accepted staple geometry rather than relying on the brand or gauge alone.
Aluminum does not form conventional red iron rust, but it can oxidize or corrode under certain chemical, salt or highly alkaline conditions. Select the fastener material according to the service environment.
Aluminum and steel have different mechanical properties. Aluminum should be selected where its material characteristics are suitable for the joint rather than treated as a direct strength-equivalent replacement for every steel staple.
KYA lists stainless-steel and galvanized material options for the 94 Series. Confirm the required leg length, wire dimensions, material grade and current availability when ordering.
Staple length should be selected according to the thickness of the cabinet panel and receiving material. There is no single length that is correct for every cabinet construction.
They can be used for selected light crate and packaging assemblies where aluminum provides sufficient joint strength. Heavy-duty or load-bearing crates should be evaluated according to the actual joint design and required fastener strength.
Material selection should be based on the outdoor exposure conditions. Aluminum can resist red rust but may corrode in some environments, while stainless-steel options may be more suitable for demanding moisture or salt exposure.
Provide the required staple material, leg length, quantity, exact stapler model and application. If replacing another brand, also provide the existing staple series, crown width and wire dimensions.
