Wire Types

Galvanized: Zinc coated galvanized wire is excellent at withstanding rust and corrosion.

Tinned: Tinned wire runs cleaner and will help prevent stitcher head jam ups due to wire dust. Reduce downtime and maintenance. 

High Carbon: Add strength to wire without increasing gauge size. This wire will go through a greater book thickness than other wires of the same gauge.
