How to choose an electric stapler

One of the most basic office supply needs of any business is good staplers. Electric staplers are a great solution for any office. Whether you have moderate or heavy stapling needs, electric staplers offer a fast, effortless solution. If you've decided that your office needs an electric stapler, it's important to take a few thing into consideration before you make your purchase.

The most important things to consider when choosing any
stapler, including electric models, are:

• How many people will use the stapler.
• How often you have to staple documents in your office.
• How many sheets you usually have to staple together. When shopping for your stapler, note the "sheet capacity" of the various model. "Sheet capacity" refers to the number of pages a staplers can staple at one time.

If your electric stapler will get heavy use from multiple users, consider these models:

• Cartridge Staplers: These are great for any office with heavy stapling needs. You won't have to reload cartridge staplers very often because each cartridge holds up to 5,000 staples.
• Flat Clinch: Flat clinch models are great to have no matter how heavy your stapling needs. The staples close flat, so you get a nice, even stacks every time.
• High Sheet Capacity: Look for models with higher sheet capacities -- they make quick work of large stapling projects. At On Time Supplies, you'll find models with up to 70 sheet capacity.

If your electric stapler is intended for one person with light or moderate stapling needs, consider these models:

• Battery-operated: These models are extra convenience. Battery-operated electric staplers are portable, so even if your office is mobile, your electric stapler is always operational.
• Moderate Sheet Capacity: Electric staplers are available with a range of sheet capacities, so you have to think carefully about your individual needs before making your purchase.
