24/6 European Staple
No. 10 Mini Staple
The 24/6 staple (standardized under DIN 7405) is the primary European office stapler standard, featuring a 24-gauge wire (approx. 0.51 mm diameter) with a 6 mm leg length and 12.7 mm crown width. Utilizing thicker steel wire than 26/6, it provides superior column strength to penetrate dense, high-grammage coated paper without leg buckling.
The No. 10 staple (standardized under Japanese JIS S 6036 and international formats as 10-1M) is the premier compact staple format measuring 9.3 mm crown width and 4.8 mm leg length. Engineered for compact, pocket, and ergonomic palm staplers, it is the dominant everyday staple in Japan and across East Asia.
