What is the filling of the stapler called in English? (you can see it in red circle in the attached picture).

I looked for this word in my native dictionary but I didn't find this word.

A stapler with staples next to it

Best Answer

I'd just call them "staples".

A set of staples joined together like this can be referred to as a "staple strip" or a "strip of staples", as in Eran's answer, but English speakers don't use this term very often. Instead, most speakers simply refer to them as "staples" in normal speech.

That doesn't mean you can't talk about strips of staples. You can talk about whether a stapler takes half strips or full strips, for example – the shorter ones take half strips. But in common speech, it's usually most natural to just say "staples".
