Staples are made of thin metal wire. For consumer use, it is clipped, formed and then a light glue keeps the staple strip together before selling it to you. In publishing and high speed printing, it is kept as a spool of wire and is clipped and formed in the printer or finishing machine just as it is being stapled into the paper.
Staples are made of either mild steel alloys or aluminium or brass or zinc alloys... Staples are made out of metal or zinc plated steel. They have also been known to be made out of stainless steel (to provide rust proofing). The thickness of the staple depends on its use, be it stapling papers together or being used in construction. Staples are made by mending large pieces of metal together and then being bent into the shape of a staple. Imagine a long piece of thin metal in the shape of an upside down U (the staple shape). A sharp cutter then slices the staple into its appropriate size by moving down the metal (like corn on the cob).
