What holds staples together?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33205points) 1 month ago

I had to refill my stapler this afternoon (first time in more than a year!) – when I take out a row of staples from the box, the row all holds together – 60–75 staples per row.

What holds them together? Glue? Magnetism? Invisible tape?

It has to be something weak, because it allows the individual staples to separate when I press the plunger.
