A heavy duty stapler, a good punch and a tidy desk organiser save time every day in busy offices, schools and government counters. StationerySupplies.co.za is a free quote service for staplers and desk accessories. You fill in one form listing the staplers, staples, punches, guillotines and other items you need, and independent local stationery suppliers quote you directly. We do not sell, stock or deliver anything ourselves, and there is no fee or obligation to accept a quote. List your items and quantities to get started.

Choosing a heavy duty stapler

Staplers are rated by how many sheets they bind at once:

  • Desktop staplers: around 20 to 30 sheets, for general office use
  • Half-strip and plier staplers: for light jobs and notices
  • Heavy duty staplers: from about 100 to over 200 sheets, for reports, tender documents and print rooms
  • Long-reach staplers: for booklets and centre-stapling

Choose a heavy duty stapler with a depth guide and metal body if it will be used daily. A lever action with a long handle reduces the effort needed for thick stacks, and a jam-release mechanism saves time when staples bend. For print rooms binding hundreds of documents a day, electric staplers are also worth a quote, as they staple evenly and reduce strain on staff.

Stapler and staples: getting the sizes right

Buy a stapler and staples together so the sizes match. 26/6 staples fit most desktop staplers. 24/6 staples are slightly heavier and fit many office models. 23/13 and other 23-series staples are for heavy duty staplers, with the second number giving the leg length in millimetres; longer legs bind thicker stacks. Check the stapler's manual or the old staple box before ordering, and buy staples in boxes of 5,000 or by the carton.

Punches, guillotines and stationery holders

Other desk accessories suppliers quote on include:

  • Punches: two-hole for lever arch files, four-hole, and heavy duty punches
  • Guillotines and trimmers: for cutting cards, flyers and certificates
  • Scissors, tape and dispensers: office scissors, clear tape and desktop dispensers
  • Stationery holders and desk organisers: pen pots, letter trays and drawer units
  • Small items: paper clips, bulldog clips, staple removers and drawing pins
  • Calculators: desktop, printing and scientific calculators

For files to punch into, see our lever arch files page.

Price of a stapler and other costs

The price of a stapler ranges from an inexpensive desktop model to a costly heavy duty unit, so compare stapler prices on capacity and build. Check whether quotes include 15% VAT, whether delivery is free above a minimum order, and whether you pay by EFT upfront or on account. Desk accessories are small, so bundle them with office stationery or larger office supplies to reach the delivery minimum.

What to include in your request

  • Give stapler sheet capacity and staple size
  • List quantities per item and per desk
  • Mention guillotine cutting length if needed
  • Add tape, clips and small items to one order
  • State the delivery address and date
