Made in India by KANGARO, size \u003cstrong\u003e23\/8H\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"23\/8\" is the size code, and both numbers matter. \u003cstrong\u003e23\u003c\/strong\u003e is the \u003cstrong\u003ewire gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning the thickness of the steel the staple is drawn from, about 0.55mm. \u003cstrong\u003e8\u003c\/strong\u003e is the \u003cstrong\u003eleg length in millimetres\u003c\/strong\u003e. Thicker wire lets the staple be driven hard without buckling, and longer legs reach through a thicker stack, so one 8mm pin goes cleanly through \u003cstrong\u003eup to 50 sheets\u003c\/strong\u003e of normal paper, around 5mm of paper, in a single push.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #0066cc; border-bottom: 2px solid #0066cc; padding-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 25px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"background-color: #e7f3ff; padding: 12px; border-left: 4px solid #0066cc; margin: 20px 0;\"\u003eOne sealed box containing \u003cstrong\u003e1,000 staple pins\u003c\/strong\u003e, supplied as 10 strips of 100.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #0066cc; border-bottom: 2px solid #0066cc; padding-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 25px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eThe Coating, and Why It Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese pins are \u003cstrong\u003ezinc coated\u003c\/strong\u003e (galvanised), which is KANGARO's standard finish across their staple range. The steel wire is drawn to gauge first, then given a thin zinc plating that gives the pins their silver colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat coating is doing real work, and it is worth understanding if you keep stock on a workshop bench rather than in an air-conditioned office.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: grid; grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; gap: 15px; margin: 20px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003e🛡️ \u003cstrong\u003eZinc corrodes before the steel does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 0.95em;\"\u003eIt is a sacrificial layer. Humidity attacks the zinc and leaves the steel underneath intact, which is why a galvanised pin survives a monsoon on an open shelf when a bare-steel one would not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003e📄 \u003cstrong\u003eNo rust bleed into your paperwork\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 0.95em;\"\u003eAn uncoated staple left in a document will eventually print a brown stain around itself.
