Understanding Box Staplers

What is a box stapler?

A box stapler, also called a carton stapler, is a specialized pneumatic or manual tool designed specifically for closing corrugated cardboard boxes and cartons. Unlike office staplers, box staplers use heavy duty staples with longer legs (typically 5/8" to 1") and wider crowns to penetrate thick cardboard materials. These industrial staplers are built for high-volume packaging operations where speed, strength, and reliability are essential. The staples used in box staplers create secure closures that hold up during shipping and handling, making them the preferred choice for professional packaging applications.

What is an LDS stapler?

An LDS stapler (Long Drive Stapler) is a type of carton stapler designed to accommodate staples with longer leg lengths, typically ranging from 3/4" to 1-1/4". LDS staplers are used when closing extra-thick cardboard boxes or when multiple layers of packaging materials need to be fastened together. The "long drive" refers to the extended driving mechanism that can push these longer staples completely through thicker materials. Many carton closing operations stock both standard box staplers and LDS models to handle different types of boxes and cartons.

How to staple thick cardboard?

To staple thick cardboard boxes effectively, you need a heavy duty pneumatic carton stapler with adjustable drive depth settings, like the ASC 550HDE. First, choose the appropriate staple leg length for your cardboard thickness—use 3/4" staples for standard corrugated boxes and longer lengths for thicker materials. Set your recommended air pressure between 90-100 psi for optimal driving force. Position the box stapler perpendicular to the cardboard surface and adjust the drive depth so staples penetrate completely through both layers without over-driving. For thick cartons, you may need to add pressure or check that you're using the correct crown width. The key is matching your staple type to your box thickness and ensuring your pneumatic tool is properly configured.
