Which staples for a staple gun?

For all the staples type 53 and 140, we offer a matching staple gun. What is more important, is which staples are right for your project. Opt for fine wire staples when you are working with textile or thin foil. Choose medium wire staples when you are working with materials that are thicker and tougher, like carpet or isolation material. If you are fastening something outside or in a humid room, like a bathroom, go for stainless steel nails. When you are fastening wire, we recommend using our wire staples.

Remember to check the length you need. A rule of thumb is that the legs should be three times as long as the thickness of the material you are going to attach. Of course, there are some exceptions. For example, if you are fastening something to hardwood, the length should be twice as long. Additionally, if you are attaching very thin materials, like a foil, the legs should be at least 4 mm longer than the thickness of the foil.
