Staples 73/8

Stronghold® 73-8S Type 73 Heavy-Duty Packaging Plier Staples (8mm / Box of 5,000)

Galvanised steel packaging staples manufactured to the industry-standard Type 73 format. Sized with an 8mm leg length, these fasteners are engineered for manual and pneumatic packaging pliers to seal heavy dispatch envelopes, padded bubble mailers, plastic sacks, and corrugated carton sleeves.

Key Features:

• Type 73 Plier Profile: Designed with a heavy-gauge wire shank to resist buckling when driven through tough cardboard edge-trims, thick mailers, and plastic bagging.

• 8mm Penetration Depth: Clinches document packs, padded bags, and lightweight corrugated card cleanly through the plier anvil.

• Corrosion-Resistant Zinc Coating: Galvanised finish prevents rust and tarnishing across busy dispatch desks and packing stations.
