Question
Dear Sir/Madam:
Would either of these machines handle glossy stock and up to how many sheets?
My other question is how long will shipping/delivery take? Thanks.

Answer
We consulted Staplex, the manufacturer of the SS-45NHL and SS-45N Electric Saddle Staplers, and found that the paper stapling capacity depends on two factors. First, you need to know the paper weight. Coated stock, or glossy paper, comes in various thicknesses or weights. Second, glossy paper is manufactured with varying amounts of clay. The clay gives the paper increased rigidity. As a general rule of thumb, most glossy stock paper will reduce the stapling capacity of an electric stapler by at least 50 percent.
The model SS-45N was recently discontinued by the manufacturer, but the SS-45NHL dual capacity stapler is still available and will staple up to 40 sheets of 20 lb. bond paper at a time. If you need to staple more than 15 sheets of 20 lb. at once, you should use the RLD Thick Wire Long Length Staples for best results.
Delivery time on this model is typically three to five business days, depending on your location. It is also important to note that Staplex will not release a machine before testing a customer’s paper samples. This ensures that the right machine is delivered for your specific needs.
