Why Choose Fine Wire Staples
Fine wire staples are thinner than standard flat wire tacker staples. They slip between fibers instead of tearing them, and they leave a smaller mark. That's why many people pick fine wire staples for upholstery, fabric and thin material where looks matter.

Common Uses
- Upholstery and furniture backing
- Fabric and textile work
- Thin plastic sheeting
- Paper, card and light craft work
Keep a spare box near your tacker so you aren't caught short in the middle of a job. At 5,000 staples per box, one box goes a long way on small projects.
Choosing the Right Size
Rapid names its staples by series and leg length in millimeters, so 19/6 means a No. 19 staple with a 6 mm leg. The 6 mm size suits thin fabric and light backing. A short leg also means less chance of the staple poking through to the front of thin wood or board. For thicker fabric or padding, review the longer size and add a box of Rapid 19/8 staples to your order.

How to Load a Rapid R19 Tacker
