Why Choose These Heavy Duty Staples
Standard office staples top out at a few dozen sheets. These heavy duty staples are built for big reports, manuals and booklets that a normal staple can't get through. The long 3/4 inch leg reaches all the way through the stack and folds flat on the back for a clean, secure bind.
Compatible Staplers
MAX lists the 1220FA-H for the MAX HD-12N/24 heavy duty stapler. Shorter MAX staplers such as the HD-12F and HD-12N/17 top out at a 5/8 inch leg, so they can't use this size. Note that these are desk stapler staples, not staple gun staples. Review your stapler model before you order.
Common Uses
- Thick reports, proposals and manuals
- Booklets and bound handouts
- Print shop and mailroom jobs
- Legal and office file sets
Heavy duty staples save time over binding machines for jobs that just need to stay together. One press of a heavy duty stapler binds a thick stack in seconds, with no punching or covers needed.
Choosing the Right Size
MAX 12 series staples share the same 1/2 inch crown and change only in leg length. Match the leg to your stack: the 1217FA-H (5/8 inch) handles 110 to 170 sheets, this 1220FA-H (3/4 inch) handles 150 to 200 sheets, and the 1224FA-H (15/16 inch) goes higher. If your stacks vary, add a box of a second size to your order.

Heavy Duty Staples FAQ
How many sheets do 3/4 inch heavy duty staples bind?
The MAX 1220FA-H binds 150 to 200 sheets.
Do these fit a staple gun?
No. These are heavy duty staples for MAX desk staplers like the HD-12N/24, not for staple guns or tackers.
How many staples are in a box?
Each box holds 1,000 staples, in strips of 100. Add a second box to your order if your office binds large sets every week.
What happens if I use a staple that's too short?
The legs won't reach through the stack to fold over, so pages can pull loose. Too long, and the legs can overlap or buckle. Match the staple to the sheet count listed above.
