you know how you open a box of staples to refill a stapler...well how do they make them stay together so you can add so many staples at once? lol. i know i sound dumb asking, but im at work, and just did this and got to thinking. i looked it up online and havent found anything yet.

I've seen them both ways:
1. A very thin layer of glue
2. Metal stamped so thin that pulls apart with ease.
I suppose it depends on the brand of staples you buy. I prefer the round (glued) type of staples, myself.

There are all formed from a continuous piece of bent sheet metal.
The spaces between each staple is just cut so thin that the slightest force can pull them apart.
There is no adhesive holding them together. They are just still attached to one another. Kind of like when you see dotted lines on paper and you can tear the paper really easily along that line.

When staples are manufactured thet are run in groups through a glue bath and dryed.

Adhesive (aka glue)
If you take the new staples and pry them apart, you can scrape the glue off of them.

the staples are all part of the same piece of metal, they are just crimped so that the part between each is very thin and breaks easily. they are stamped that way.
