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.
Report Abuse. The most common staples are the ones used for paper. They are almost exclusively applied with a mechanical stapler which clinch the legs after they pass through the paper. Staples of this type were used on a desktop stapling machine, which was developed in 1877 and registered under US Patent No. 195,603. Modern staples for a paper stapler are made from bent wire and glued together to form a long strip of staples. The papers to be fastened are placed between the main body and the anvil.
