We're diving into the world of industrial staples—figuring out what types are out there and all the cool ways they're used. Get ready to discover the secrets of these tiny but mighty fasteners!

WHAT IS STAPLE?

A staple is a thin piece of wire formed into a specific shape (usually two legs bent to hold together materials) used to fasten or secure items together by driving the staple through the materials and then bending the legs to hold the materials in place. Staples are commonly used in offices, construction, upholstery, packaging, and various industries as a fastening tool. They come in various sizes and designs to suit different applications.

STAPLE BODY PARTS

Staples generally have three main parts:

• Legs (L): These are the two extended ends of the staple that are driven into the materials to be fastened. They can be straight or have different shapes based on the staple type.
• Crown (C): The crown is the top or bridge connecting the legs of the staple. It can vary in width and shape depending on the type of staple.
• Width (W): Width is the horizontal dimension of the point of a staple when you look at it in the front view.
• Thickness (T): Thickness is shown by how thick the staple leg is when you look at it in the side view.
