When selecting staples, consider:
For Desktop and Strip Electric Staplers:
Premium staples provide superior performance in a stapler. Not all stapler jams are caused by the stapler -- some are caused by the staple itself. It’s worth the money to prevent jams and frustration by buying premium staples.
Heavy Duty Staplers:
Use different size staples for different sheet capacities. Make sure you have the largest staple size to maximize the potential of your stapler.
For Specialty Staplers:
Make sure you are using the correct staple. These often take specialty staples.
