Collection: Staples & Punches

Match the stapler to the job

Nearly every stapler here is from Opal, and the first thing to check is which staple size it takes and how many sheets it binds. For pencil boxes and light home use, compact No. 10 staplers such as the HD-10S (Rs. 200) and HD-10 Plus staple up to 10 sheets with 50 No. 10 pins per load. For the office desk, 24/6 staplers handle 20 to 25 sheets: the MOD-10 comes in five colours with a built-in remover, the all-metal HD-45N (ECO) has a 64 mm throat, and the HD-50 reaches 25 sheets with a 60 mm throat and also takes 26/6 pins. For reports, booklets and thick files, the 23-series heavy-duty staplers do the work: the PS-613 staples up to 100 sheets with 23/6 to 23/13 pins, and the HD-12N24 takes pins up to 23/24 with a power handle and paper height guide.

Punches, removers and pins

The Opal 480 paper punch handles 12 sheets and has a removable chip tray, while the 2160 heavy-duty punch is built for large punching jobs. Keep an SRL-35 staple remover (Rs. 150) beside any stapler; it works on No. 10, 24/6 and 26/6 pins. Always buy the matching refill: see 24/6 staple pins, No. 10 pins and heavy-duty staplers and pins. Finish the desk with pins and clips, office files and the rest of our office supplies, delivered across Pakistan.
