$16 for 80 staples? 4 per box? Anyone who buys these is an idiot
- TehCorwiz 1y agoThis looks like it's targeted at small manufacturers for distinct, high-quality but recycling friendly packaging. I see this as just a premiumish product packaging design choice. It's about $0.20 per staple. The design of the boxes they're demonstrating use 2 - 8 staples per box depending on size and folding design. That's $0.40 - $1.60 which figures into cost of packaging. It's not unheard of for things like bespoke soaps to have extravagant packaging, jewelry, I can think of a few more, I bet you can too. Spending $5 on packaging for a ~$80 product wouldn't be out of line. I'm thinking in that number a box fully glued, stapled, or otherwise, internal packing material, any paper inserts, etc. So on avg. $0.80-per-box, meh sure why not.
- zahlman 1y agoI was picturing this being used for the boxes for much larger things, like office furniture.
- Gigachad 1y agoWhy not just glue flaps like a conventional box? The article makes the claim that this makes it harder to recycle, but I just have a hard time believing it. I’ve never once heard that glued box flaps were an issue.

- jmpman 1y agoThanks. The article provided the numbers I quoted, which made no sense economically.
