Find the right Swingline stapler for your needs
This company makes three sizes of manual desktop staplers. Full-sized or full strip units can hold whole strips of 210 staples, while compact ones have magazines for half strips of 105 staples. Mini units are the smallest, and have quarter-strip staple capacity. Besides staple capacity, shoppers should consider material when comparing staplers. Swingline offers manual staplers in all-metal, durable plastic, and combined metal and plastic constructions. Choose an all-metal unit for rough use. The lighter plastic units are better suited for classrooms.

With automatic operation and motors pushing out staples, electric staplers are easier to use and faster than manual units. Swingline makes battery- and AC-powered electric models, and some use both power sources. Battery-powered units are ideal for stapling on the go, while corded ones are usually more powerful.

Choose heavy-duty and specialty Swingline staplers for demanding stapling jobs
While a regular stapling device can drive staples through up to 25 sheets at once, heavy-duty units can handle more pages. High-capacity models offered by this brand can fasten more than 100 pages with ease. Specialty staplers are suitable for specific tasks too difficult for standard desktop stapling machines. Examples of these include Long Reach, Reduced Effort, and plier staplers. Unlike standard models, users operate plier stapling devices by squeezing them rather than pressing them. This design is more convenient for attaching retail tags and closing shipping bags and boxes.

Long Reach staplers have throats that are longer than typical staplers. The models offered by Swingline have a 12-inch reach, and they can place staples in the middle and far end of pages. Use one of these to hold magazine and booklet pages together. Reduced Effort staplers have spring-action mechanisms that make them easier to use than regular models. Swingline Reduced Effort units take 50 percent less effort to operate than traditional desktop staplers.

What are the key features to look for when selecting a Swingline office stapler?
Consider staple capacity and sheet capacity when shopping for stapling devices. Full strip, half strip, and quarter strip models can fit 210, 105, and 50 staples, respectively. Choose a full strip unit for a busy office to avoid reloading the device frequently. Sheet capacity describes the number of pages a stapler can fasten at once. Pick a model that can handle 20 to 30 pages at once for a small office. Users that bind thick stacks of pages need units with higher sheet capacities.

When considering electric staplers, look for those with quick loading features. These make reloading staples easier and quicker. Since electric models don’t open up like manual units, it can be difficult to see where they’re stapling. Therefore, a precision alignment guide is a must-have feature to ensure accurate operation.

What are stapleless Swingline staplers?
These stapling devices don’t use staples for fastening pages. They punch holes in paper stacks and tuck punched-out tabs neatly. Stapleless staplers can bind up to five sheets at once and are useful for temporarily binding documents.

Are there antimicrobial Swingline staplers?
Yes. These are models with antimicrobial protection. The feature stops common bacteria, limiting cross-contamination. It’s a welcome feature for shared staplers used in offices, classrooms, and hospitals.
