Staples & staple guns


Staple guns provide a quick and easy way to fasten a variety of materials, making them useful for packaging, upholstery and DIY tasks. From manual staple guns to heavy duty options, choosing the right type depends on the materials, project and staples required.

At Kite Packaging, we stock a range of staple guns, staplers and staples for different applications. Explore our products to find the right option for your job.

Choosing the Right Staple Gun

Choosing between staple guns depends on the job, materials and how frequently the tool will be used. Manual staple guns are hand-operated and lightweight, making them a handy option for many smaller projects and DIY tasks. They also give the user control and precision when fastening different materials.

For more demanding work, a heavy duty staple gun provides greater power for suitable applications. Different staple guns also require specific staples, so always check the type and length required before starting your project. Choosing compatible staples helps achieve a secure fastening and prevents problems during use.

DIY Uses of our Staple Guns

Staple guns are also useful for DIY enthusiasts working with materials such as fabric, leather, plastic and wood.

Our hand-held staplers include Rapid staple guns for different tasks. One model takes 4mm to 8mm staples and is suitable for recovering work and fastening artist canvases. Another takes 6mm to 14mm staples and is suitable for joinery work.

For tougher tasks, our heavy duty staple gun uses staples with a 6mm to 14mm leg length. It is ideal for fastening materials including insulation, carpet underlay and polythene.

Heavy Duty Carton and Box Staplers

Heavy duty carton and box staplers provide a quick way to secure boxes in warehouses and other professional settings. Our range includes handheld carton staplers, pneumatic carton top staplers and treadle-operated carton bottom staplers.
