Why Choose This Galvanized Stitching Wire
The zinc coating on galvanized stitching wire helps it resist rust in damp warehouses and during shipping. Conflandey makes wire for staples and stitching, and this flat wire is sized to feed your stitcher head without twisting. The 10 lb spool is easy to lift and change by one person, and a case of five keeps a single stitcher running for a long stretch.
Compatible Machines
Use this stitcher wire in box and carton stitchers built for .103 x .020 flat wire. Box stitcher brands such as Bostitch, Interlake, Ideal and Baumuller all run flat stitching wire, but wire sizes vary by machine, so review your stitcher's manual before you add a case to your order.
Uses
This box stitching wire closes corrugated boxes and joins box corners and bottoms on packaging lines, in fulfillment centers and in shipping departments. Carton stitching wire makes a strong, flat closure that stacks well on pallets. Stitching is also a good choice for heavy boxes that need to hold up in storage, since the wire doesn't dry out or peel like tape. Add a case to your next order so a spool change never stops your line.
Choosing the Right Wire
Flat stitching wire is a thin strip that's wider than it is thick, made for box stitchers. Round wire is for book and saddle stitchers, so don't swap them. If you prefer a copper-colored coating, review our .103 x .020 liquor finish wire on 10 lb spools. For fewer spool changes, see our 25 lb liquor finish spools. Thicker boxes may call for our .103 x .023 wire.
