Seems like it'd be a much better product if it could just bend any standard heavy-duty staples. Having to use a specific brand of proprietary staples is a continuity risk (leaving aside that the staples are also wildly overpriced).

I could have been convinced that the invention of overlapping box folds was meant to supplant this stapler. I’d take a bit of glue and extra box over having these little metal hazards everywhere when I go to flatten my boxes.

They claim it allows you to make boxes without material overlap, but I don't buy that. If you're using a material that's flexible enough to fold and there's no overlap at corners, won't the material wiggle/warp during transit leading to gaps?

The core77 site basically shuts down my browser after the page starts loading (Firefox on android), has anyone experience similar? I'm curious what's going on, I basically have to force quit the app for it to go back to normal. It loads fine using chrome on android.

If you squeeze the corner it turns into a gaping hole into the box.

My daughter is an art major in college, I think she could find interesting uses for this tool. She's very much interested in how products are packaged.

Is it possible this didn’t exist already? Remarkable.

> The company that makes it, also called Cornervery, says it's a more economical way to make packaging; paperboard can be die-cut to minimize waste, there are no overlapping flaps required, and tape and glue are not needed.

But apply little bit of pressure at the top, and the vertical edges of your box open up and potentially spill the contents.
