Double-sided fastening strips and special staples: Professional fastening for the highest standards
In post-press processing and professional file assembly, double-sided fastening strips (often also referred to as Filing Strips or special staples) are indispensable. They form the core of ring binders and folder systems, enabling punched documents to be archived securely, in an organised manner and in a space-saving way. Particularly in areas with high document volumes, such as government offices or large archives, our metal tabs ensure a permanent hold without material fatigue.
Functionality and application in document assembly
The use of our double-staple tabs is intuitive and highly functional. They are designed to speed up workflows in document assembly:
- Easy handling: The tabs are bent outwards vertically and fed through the holes in the documents.
- Secure fastening: When used in combination with a cover strip or mounted directly on the inside of the folder, they offer excellent load distribution.
- Versatility: Our double-staple tabs are available in various lengths to reliably hold both slim files and bulky bundles of documents.
Applications: Hanging file systems and swing files
Whilst classic File Prongs are often found in standard ring binders, our specialised double File Prongs and special clips really come into their own in demanding systems:
- Suspension filing systems: Secure hold for vertical archiving systems.
- Pendulum and government-style binders: Robust metal designs guarantee durability with daily use.
- Bank statement folders: Space-saving bundling of documents in financial administration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the advantage of metal double-staple tabs over plastic ones?
Metal versions offer significantly higher tear resistance and dimensional stability. Particularly with heavy stacks of documents, they prevent unwanted bending and guarantee permanently secure archiving.
What is the ideal tab length for my folders?
The choice of length depends on the maximum filling height of your folder. We stock various standard lengths, optimised for both a few loose sheets and document thicknesses of several centimetres.
Can the file prongs be integrated into automated production processes?
Yes, our double file prongs are characterised by high precision and consistent material quality, making them ideal for machine processing in the printing and folder industry.
