Staples TACWISE Type 80 (80/12 mm) galvanized, 10,000 pieces, for upholstery and general stapling

TACWISE Type 80 (80/12 mm) galvanized staples, pack of 10,000 pieces, are metal fastening staples intended for upholstery, furniture work and general stapling tasks. The zinc coating provides corrosion resistance for applications where occasional moisture or humidity may be present. These staples are sized 80/12 mm and are designed to be used with staplers that accept Type 80 staples for a secure and consistent fastening result.

Advantages

Galvanized finish reduces the risk of rust and staining on fastened materials and increases longevity in typical indoor environments. The 80/12 mm leg and crown proportions are suitable for a wide range of upholstery and light carpentry tasks, offering reliable penetration and holding power in fabric, foam and thin wood or composite backing. Supplied in a bulk pack of 10,000 pieces, the set minimises the need for frequent replenishment on job sites or in workshops.

Suitable for

• Upholstery repairs and new upholstery projects
• Furniture assembly and light carpentry fastening
• Attaching fabric, webbing or foam to wooden frames
• General stapling tasks around workshops, studios or at home

When it may not be suitable

These galvanized Type 80 staples are intended for indoor and light-duty applications; they are not intended for heavy structural timber work or load-bearing connections. For continuous outdoor exposure or marine environments, a heavier corrosion-resistant fastener such as stainless steel may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Staple type: Type 80
• Leg length: 12 mm
• Crown width: 8 mm (standard for Type 80)
• Finish: zinc / galvanized coating
• Pack quantity: 10,000 staples

How to use

Load the compatible stapler according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions and ensure the staples are oriented correctly. Position the stapler over the material and apply steady pressure while depressing the trigger or using the stapler action. For upholstery, start fastening near corners and work evenly to avoid puckering of fabric; for thin wood or backing boards use a controlled force to prevent over-penetration. Wear eye protection when operating stapling tools and keep fingers clear of the firing area.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your stapler accepts Type 80 / 80/12 mm staples
• Assess whether galvanized finish meets the corrosion resistance needs of your project
• Choose leg length appropriate for combined material thickness to ensure secure holding without piercing through

Usage recommendations

For upholstery projects, test a small area first to check penetration and holding power; use consistent spacing (for example, 2–4 cm apart) for secure attachment. Store the pack in a dry place to maintain the zinc coating condition and keep spare staples accessible during extended work sessions.
