Presser Point Staple – Copper

Copper presser point staples are the sensible choice any time your fixing is going to live in a wet or exposed environment. Made from solid copper throughout, these staples won’t rust, won’t stain the surrounding material, and won’t let go six months down the line because moisture got into the fix. If you’ve ever pulled back roofing felt or lifted a timber panel to find a row of corroded steel staples doing absolutely nothing, you’ll understand why the material choice here matters.

These are available in two sizes: 25 x 2.65mm for lighter applications and 38 x 4.00mm for heavier fixing work. The presser point profile means the staple drives cleanly and holds securely without splitting the surrounding material, which is exactly what you want when fixing into timber battens, sarking boards, or anything where a blunt force approach would cause more problems than it solves.

Where Copper Presser Point Staples Get Used

Roofing is the obvious one. Copper staples are widely used for securing roofing felt, underlays, and similar membranes where long-term weather exposure makes a corrosion-resistant fixing essential. The same logic applies to any external timber work, fence panels, garden structures, or anywhere that sees persistent damp. Thatchers have used copper fixings for generations, and there’s a reason for that: the material simply outlasts the alternatives in conditions that would destroy mild steel in a fraction of the time.

Pack Sizes and Site Use

These copper presser point staples are available in 1kg bags for smaller jobs or top-ups, and 5kg cartons for ongoing site use or trade purchase. The carton option makes sense if you’re running through volume on a roofing contract or specifying them for regular workshop or manufacturing use. Copper is worth the small price premium when the alternative is a callback to re-fix work that should have lasted decades. Buy the right staple the first time and you won’t be back to fix it.
