Staples, when it comes to packaging and shipping, provides a strong and reliable method for sealing boxes and securing packaging materials. They’re most known for their ability to quickly close heavy-duty cartons and their durability, withstanding handling and transportation better than tape or glue. This being said, staples are best used with an appropriate stapler. Industrial-grade staplers can handle large volumes of packaging tasks while maintaining an excellent seal, making them a necessity for large scale packaging operations.
