Staplex Products

Automatic electric staplers fire as soon as paper is inserted, which speeds up repetitive stapling tasks and reduces hand fatigue for high-volume use, like assembling packets or binding reports throughout the day. Manual heavy-duty staplers require a hand or lever action for each staple but can still handle very thick stacks, sometimes 50 sheets or more, without needing power. If your team staples the same type of document dozens or hundreds of times a day, automatic saves significant time. For the specific automatic models and their sheet capacities, Staplex electric staplers lists the full lineup.

A wafer seal is a small adhesive tab applied to a folded, self-mailing piece, like a newsletter or brochure, to hold it closed for mailing without needing a separate envelope. This is common for postal-compliant self-mailers, since many mail formats require the folded edges to be secured before they can be processed and delivered. If your organization regularly sends folded mail pieces rather than enveloped ones, a tabbing machine and matching wafer seals streamline that process significantly compared to hand-sealing each piece individually. For the specific wafer seal sizes and rolls used with Staplex tabbers, roll tabs for tabbing machines show the available options.

Staplex staples are generally designed to be compatible with specific Staplex stapler models, since staple leg length and gauge need to match the stapler's mechanism precisely, particularly for the higher-capacity commercial models. Using a mismatched staple type can cause jams or inconsistent stapling. Before ordering staples in bulk, confirm the exact staple type and size your specific Staplex stapler model requires, since different models in the lineup use different staple specifications.

A footswitch-activated stapler frees up both hands to hold and position material, which matters most for tasks like stapling header cards, packaging, or awkwardly shaped items where holding the piece steady with both hands improves accuracy. A standard automatic stapler still requires one hand to position the material near the stapling head. For straightforward document stapling, the difference is minor, but for production environments handling irregular materials or high-volume repetitive tasks, a footswitch model can meaningfully speed up the process and reduce strain. For comparing footswitch and manual heavy-duty capacity options, heavy-duty staplers show the full range side by side.
