Tackling stapling tasks for large amounts of paper can be frustrating. You may either bend the staple pins or damage the pages of the documents you are trying to bind. If you mess up, you need to try again, wasting time and adding frustration. So to help cure you of the embedded frustration of reworking bound documents, we have compiled some tips for stapling large amounts of paper. Continue reading to learn how to bind your documents quickly and perfectly.
1. Choose the Right Stapler
The key to unfurling the frustration of this task is finding a suitable stapler. You should always choose a stapler designed for binding large amounts of paper. Such staplers are heavy-duty and can bind up to 200 sheets in one go (Is that a sigh of relief I hear escaping your lips?). All you need to do is ensure the stapler has a long reach and can bind the entire document without strain.
2. Ensure Proper Alignment
Another vital thing to remember while stapling substantial amounts of paper is the alignment of the pages. Before you staple the documents, ensure you correctly align all the pages and avoid folded corners or creases. Concentrating on the orientation makes the stapling process smoother and quicker and prevents jams.
3. Divide Into Sections
To easily align each document, divide the pages into smaller portions of 10–20 sheets. Use the proper alignment technique for each section, then staple all the sections together. This step helps avoid misalignment or jams.
4. Use the Right Staples
Always check that you’re using the right staple size. The staple pins should be long enough to pass through all the pages and bend without damage. Using smaller staples or pins can damage the pages or curve the staple pins.
5. Mind the Staples’ Position
Lastly, placing the staples in the correct position on the documents is crucial. You should place the staples in the center of the page at least half an inch from the top edge of the paper. The correct position ensures you can turn the pages effortlessly without damaging the document.
