ALCO Electro Brassed Paper Fasteners - 16 mm - 1000 Pcs

They are electro brassed, offering durability and resistance to corrosion.

The fasteners are 16 mm in length.

The offset ends are designed for ease of bending and unbending, making them simple to apply and remove securely.

They are particularly suitable for bubble padded envelopes, sample bags, and general mailing bags.

Each pack contains 1000 fasteners.

The 16 mm length is suitable for materials up to approximately 10-12 mm thick when folded. For very thick cardstock, a longer fastener might be required.

Yes, they can be carefully bent open and re-bent to close items multiple times, though repeated bending may eventually weaken the prongs.

Ensure the prongs are fully through the material. If the material is very thick, this fastener may not be suitable. Gently apply pressure to bend the offset ends.

Check that the offset ends are bent as flat as possible against the material. Ensure the material is not too thick for the 16 mm length. Re-bend the ends if they have become loose.

Ensure you are pushing perpendicular to the material. For very dense materials, a small pre-piercing may be necessary, though this can weaken the fastening. This fastener is best for lighter-duty applications.
