They fit my stapler perfectly and staple cleanly without bending or jamming. The galvanised finish is a nice touch and they feel stronger and better made than some cheaper staples I've used previously. Having 5,000 staples in the pack also means I won't need to keep buying replacements. Good quality, reliable and very good value for the quantity. Would definitely buy them again. Review: A paper-paper adherence machine - What if you have the nightmare scenario of needing to attach one piece of paper, to , yes, you guessed it... another piece of paper? The absolute nightmare scenario. Very few people have worked out a system for this, and it's been the bane of office life for literally millions of years. Herman Stapler, along with his sidekick Otto Von Bismarck (no relation) in 1833, created The Staple, which saved many from the drudgery of making holes in paper and sticking them in so-called "ring binders". The staple has gone through several iterations. The round staple, the curly staple, the angled staple... and now, the zenith of the staple line is this, the Rapsesco S11662Z3 Galvanized steel 26 mil with 6 mil pitch square cross-section extruded/stamped Staple. Millions of hours of research have gone into this one product, which brings humanity to the very top of what Science can achieve. Rapesco, in this product, the S116622Z3 staple (ignoring the disastrous problems of the S116621A4 experiments in the 80s), have actually made a really good product. The staples are finely crafted, they fit into a standard stapler (of any make) and slide up and down with ease. Almost all staplers nowadays are of the 26/6 type, with only some smaller "pencil case" ones using smaller novely staples. Surely with such a finely crafted piece of paper/paper adherence technology we are but mere moments away in the reckoning of geologists to flying cars, to fusion reactors, or even, dare I hesitate to say it, a journey into SPACE itself? In the packet you get 2000 of these things, which is a LOT of staple for the price. Even in this day and age of cheap metal products, that's pretty good value for money. The staples are in blocks which are a bit too short for most staplers, so you almost end up always needing to break one of the blocks to fill the stapler. Don't forget that some staplers have a secret compartment on the back for storing more staples! I'm very pleased with these staples. ## Features - CONTENTS - Pack of 5000 type 26/6 mm galvanised staples, useful for offices, schools, and universities - MATERIAL - High-quality steel wire with a galvanised finish for increased durability - KEY ELEMENTS - Rust-resistant staples made to exacting standards with chisel points for easy insertion and a strong hold - COMPATIBILITY - Standard size 26/6 mm zinc-coated staples that fit most desktop staplers; Check compatibility with your stapler before purchasing - EQUIVALENT TO - Rexel No.56, Rapid type 26, Leitz type 26, Swingline Standard and Bostitch Standard staples ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000NLZAME | | Best Sellers Rank | 131 in Stationery & Office Supplies ( See Top 100 in Stationery & Office Supplies ) 2 in Staples | | Brand | RAPESCO | | Brand Name | RAPESCO | | Colour | Silver | | Compatible Groove Diameter | 56 Millimeters | | Compatible Staple Crown Width | 6 Millimetres | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 8,126 Reviews | | Fastener Type | Staple | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05018505556019, 05026990004281, 05051395537577 | | Included Components | Boxed 5000 x 26/6mm Staples | | Item Diameter | 6 Millimetres | | Item Dimensions | 8.1 x 2.7 x 5.8 centimetres | | Item Dimensions L x W | 8L x 5.6W centimetres | | Item Weight | 159 g | | Item weight | 159 g | | Manufacturer | Rapesco | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Rapesco Office Products PLC, Kent, UK | | Manufacturer Part Number | S11662Z3 | | Model Number | S11662Z3 | | Number Of Items | 5000 | | Number of Pieces | 5000 | | Number of pieces | 5000 | | Product Warranty | 1 Year Manufacturer | | Product dimensions | 8L x 5.6W centimetres | | Recommended Uses For Product | Office Use, Bulk Office Supplies | | Screw Head Style | U-shaped | | Set Name | Pack of 5000 | | Size | 26/6mm | | Thread Size | 6 mm | | UPC | 646635474412 616268274956 787766044607 646635409223 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** RAPESCO - **Colour:** Silver - **Item weight:** 159 g - **Product dimensions:** 8L x 5.6W centimetres - **Size:** 26/6mm ## Images ![Rapesco S11662Z3 26/6mm No.56 Galvanised Staples, Box of 5000 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71YwR5BU0tL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: what are the dimensions of this item** A: 26 refers to the wire gauge size. 6mm is the length. Look on the bottom of your stapler to see what staples it needs. 26/6 staples are indeed about 12mm wide and 6mm long. They are also known as No 56, which is one of the more common sizes. **Q: Which Rapesco staple is most suitable for upholstery ,the fabric has a showerproof backing?** A: These are heavy duty staples and will staple fabric onto wooden structure **Q: Would i be right in assuming these would fit most staple guns, Γ€s they are all pretty much the same?** A: Yeah they're the bog standard size. If these don't fit then your stapler is the strange one. **Q: What is the crown measurement of the staple?** A: It says on the box 8mm but just measured the crown & its 12mm ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality staples and excellent value *by T***F on 11 September 2026* Good quality staples and excellent value These Rapesco staples are exactly what I needed.

The staples themselves are strong and work very well with a decent stapler . ## Frequently Bought Together - Rapesco S11662Z3 Staples, 26/6 mm Galvanized [Box of 5,000] - Rapesco R81000A3 Porpoise Staple Plier, 45 Sheet Capacity, Chrome - Rapesco Staples, 24/8 mm [Box of 5,000] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/48812900-rapesco-s11662z3-26-6mm-no-56-galvanised-staples-box-5000](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/48812900-rapesco-s11662z3-26-6mm-no-56-galvanised-staples-box-5000) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-01*
