The ASC500PN industrial stapler is a pneumatic floor standing arm stapler built for flat carton work. It drives 1-3/8 inch crown carton staples with air power, so packing lines can close lids, trays and flat cartons faster and with less effort than a manual arm stapler.
Key Features
- Air powered: each shot drives and clinches the staple the same way, carton after carton
- Floor standing arm design: a standing stapler that holds the work at a steady height, so the operator uses two hands to place the carton

- Wide crown carton staples: takes 1-3/8 inch crown staples in 5/8 to 7/8 inch legs
- Built for volume: an industrial box stapler for warehouses, plants and shipping departments

What This Industrial Stapler Is Used For
Arm staplers like this one handle flat work that a hand tool can't reach easily. Common jobs include stapling carton lids and trays, closing flat box flaps, and building shipping packs on a packing line. If you staple cartons all day, a pneumatic box stapler on a stand saves time and keeps every staple the same.
Pneumatic Arm Stapler vs. Manual Arm Stapler
A manual arm stapler works well for lower volume and doesn't need an air line. A pneumatic arm stapler takes the effort out of each shot, which matters on long shifts. If your shop already runs compressed air, the air version is usually the faster choice. For a manual option, review our ASC500FP-Arm floor standing arm stapler.
Choosing the Right Staples
Match the staple leg to your carton. Shorter legs suit lighter board, and longer legs give more hold on heavier board. Our ASC 1-3/8 x 3/4 carton staples are a good place to start. Add a few boxes of staples to your order so the line doesn't stop.
Setup and Use
- Set the stapler stand on a level floor where the operator can reach the carton easily.
- Connect clean, dry compressed air. An air filter and regulator in the line helps the tool last.
- Load a strip of carton staples into the magazine.
- Place the carton flat under the arm, line it up, and fire.
- Check the clinch on the first few cartons and adjust air pressure if needed.
Care, Maintenance and Clearing a Jam
Disconnect the air before you clear a jam or load staples. Open the magazine, remove the bent staple, and reload. Drain water from your air line often, and keep the staple track clean. If the tool stops driving staples fully, check air pressure first, then look for wear. Our shop repairs tools in house if it ever needs service.
Is an Upright Stapler Right for You?
An upright stapler on a stand fits operations that staple the same type of carton over and over. If your cartons change size often or you need to staple the bottom of a box, a carton closer or a bottom stapler may fit better. Call us and we'll help you pick, or add a second stapler stand to your order for another line.
