Staple Gun (Wooden Box)

dB: 72 – 83
Recording Distance: 1m

The final step in building this wooden box is assembling all the different pieces. The staple gun secures two crossbars on each side of the board, as well as another wooden panel at the bottom.
This particular recording captures the attachment of the first two crossbars. The staple gun produces a sharp, metallic yet slightly muffled sound as the staple is driven into the wood.

Since 1949, the name Lessmann has been synonymous with traditional box-making craftsmanship, based in Nördlingen, Bavaria. The workshop is now in its third generation of family ownership under Werner Lessmann.
They manufacture wooden boxes for all types of beverages and gift packaging. The company is dedicated to producing beer and wine boxes, as well as custom-made products and designs from sustainable wood.
Most of their machines date back to the 1960s, with a few newer ones from the 1980s onwards . And that makes it all the more important to capture their sound.
The company’s main customers are beer, wine, and coffee distributors who require special packaging.
Here we hear how a six-pack carrier suitable for beer or similar types of bottles is made.
