Full Strip or Half Strip Stapler? A Comprehensive Guide to Choosing the Right Stapler for Your Office

In any office, staplers are a staple. They keep important documents in place and ensure that everything is organised. But with the many types of staplers available in the market, choosing the right one can be overwhelming. One of the main factors to consider when choosing a stapler is its strip size. Full strip and half strip staplers are the two most common types of staplers available. In this blog, we'll dive into the differences between the two and help you choose the right one for your office.

No matter what your office setting looks like, you’re always going to use a few essential items, such as pens, paper, paper clips, and staplers. Remember, having an organised environment can greatly improve your productivity levels. Staplers play an important role in ensuring everything is in order.


What kind of stapler do you need?

Full strip staplers

Full strip staplers are the most commonly used type of stapler. As the name suggests, they can hold a full strip of staples, which is usually around 210 staples, in one go. They are typically used for heavy-duty stapling and can staple up to 20 to over 50 sheets of 80gsm paper. If you have a lot of paperwork to staple together, a full strip stapler is the best option for you.

Half strip staplers

Half strip staplers are smaller in size compared to full strip staplers. They are ideal for light-duty stapling and can staple anywhere between 15 to about 30 sheets of 80gsm paper. They are lightweight and portable, making them perfect for on-the-go stapling. If you only need to staple a few sheets of paper together at a time, a half strip stapler is perfect for you.

Do you need to use the same brand of staples as your stapler?

It is always best to use the same brand of staples as your stapler to ensure that they fit properly and do not jam. However, if you have a Rexel Matador with a half strip stapler size, you can use other brands of staples. The Rexel Matador has a strong metal construction and rubberised handle that can handle 25 sheets using No. 16 staples or 20 sheets using No. 56 staples.

What should you look for when buying a brand of stapler?

When choosing a stapler, the brand name is one of the most important factors to consider. One of the most reliable brands of stapler is Rexel. Aside from the brand name, you should also consider your budget and the stapling capacity you need. Look for a stapler that can handle between 20 to 120 sheets. Additionally, you may want to consider the color and feel of the stapler in your hands.
