How to choose a Heavy Duty Stapler.

Good staplers are a standard office supply in virtually every business. Desktop and electric staplers work great in most offices, but if you regularly assemble documents with high sheet-counts, you need heavy-duty staplers. The process of shopping for a heavy duty stapler is essentially the same as when shopping for desktop and electric staplers: you need to ask yourself the same questions.

How many people will use the stapler?
How often do you have to staple documents in your office?
How many sheets do you usually have to staple together?

Heavy emphasis must be placed on "Sheet Capacity"* when shopping for a heavy-duty stapler. "Sheet Capacity" refers to how many pages a stapler can staple at one time. Heavy-duty staplers are perfect in shared areas or anywhere there is a need for stapling high sheet-count documents.

*All sheet capacities are based on 20-lb. bond.
