Introduction

The project is to manufacture staple pins especially of galvanised iron wire type, commonly known as white staples. These staples find wide application to staple sheets of paper, cheque, common known bills, album photos, sandwich bags and in financial institutions, offices, garment industry, leather industry, rubber industry and any shop delivering the materials in packets and so on.

These white shining staples of good quality are currently imported involving an estimated foreign exchange drain of Rs. 60 crores per year. In India, manufacturing has been limited to mostly copper coated staples, which unfortunately rust fast. Also some white staples made from substandard wires have been in the market. However, neither of these are comparable in quality and performance to these of white staples such as those of “MAX” of Japan.

Market Potential

White staples made in India can compete without strain against “MAX” of Japan especially since the matching quality is assured while the whole sales price is low per packet of No. 10 staples. With the assistance of sales representatives and a network of dealers organisation, it is apparent that the staple pins can be sold easily in domestic market. The project also envisages entering exports especially since the staple pins can stand up to the rigours of the International quality standards.

Technical Aspects
Process of Manufacture

The process of making staple pins has been simplified with introduction of sophisticated fully Automatic Staple Pin Making Machines. The preformed round wire is fed to the machine which flattens it and produces the necessary staple pins in pre-determined lengths of 50 staple pins in each length. The formation of this length is assisted by the use of a special staple pin adhesive, also developed in India. The staple pin lengths are packed suitably with each packet containing 1000 pins. 20 of these packets are packed in a box and 40 of these packets are packed in cardboard carton.

Quality Control and Standards

The pins should be manufactured as per relevant Indian specification IS 4224:1972.

Production Capacity

1300 cartons of staple pins

Motive Power 10 HP.

Pollution Control

Manufacturing of this product does not attract pollution control measures.

Energy Conservation

The unit is equipped with low powered machinery. The energy conservation efforts need in this unit are the creation of awareness among the workers.
