Rhinails Offset Round Head Ring Shank Paper Strip Nails (2.87×60mm)

Rhinails Paper Strip Nails are paper collated framing nails built for 28 and 34 degree framing nailers.

Supplied in 50mm, 60mm and 83mm lengths at 2.87mm and 3.05mm diameters, in smooth, spiral or ring shank, and in Q235 carbon steel or stainless steel, they cover everything from sheathing and subflooring to heavy structural framing.

The paper strip holds the nails squarely through rapid firing and disintegrates at the drive point, leaving almost no residue in the magazine.

Paper Strip Nails - Paper Collated Framing Nails for 28 and 34 Degree Nailers

Paper strip nails are framing nails collated onto a paper strip at a fixed angle so a nailer can fire them in one continuous run. Rhinails supplies them for the standard 28 degree and 34 degree framing nailers used on professional sites, in 50mm, 60mm and 83mm lengths on 2.87mm and 3.05mm wire.

Each strip carries 40 nails per row across 75 rows, and the whole range is available in smooth, spiral or ring shank so you can match holding power to how permanent the joint needs to be.

The reason to run paper instead of plastic collation is what happens after the shot. A paper strip breaks cleanly at the drive point and leaves almost nothing behind in the magazine, so the feed mechanism keeps running without the intermittent jams that build up when plastic fragments accumulate.

It also keeps plastic out of the finished work: plastic fragments can sit between the nail head and the wood and leave visible debris on a surface the client is going to inspect. For high volume framing crews and for finished woodwork, both of those matter.

Key Specifications

Why Choose Paper Collation Over Plastic Strip?

Paper collation gives you two advantages over plastic collated nails, and both of them show up on site rather than on the spec sheet.

First, the strip breaks cleanly at the drive point, so almost no residue reaches the nailer magazine; plastic fragments accumulate in the feed mechanism and cause intermittent jams that slow production and force frequent cleaning, especially in cold weather where plastic turns brittle.

Second, there is no plastic debris in the finished work: paper disintegrates during driving and leaves clean nail to wood contact, instead of fragments that can sit between the head and the surface and show up on a finished face.

Paper strip nails are used for:

• Wall framing and stud to plate connections

• Roof sheathing and subflooring

• Decking and fencing, where withdrawal resistance matters

• Ledger board and beam to post connections

• Temporary bracing, where nails may need to come out again

Q235 Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel - Built to Hold and Not to Rust

Two materials cover the range. Q235 carbon steel is the standard construction grade for interior and general framing work, and every nail runs through a surface galvanizing process so the shank does not oxidize and rust in service.

Stainless steel is the option for corrosive environments and exterior applications where long term rust resistance is the requirement, such as coastal decking, marine work and treated timber.

All variants carry a diamond point that penetrates hardwood and engineered lumber cleanly instead of splitting it.

Both materials are also checked for the two faults that stop a framing crew: the pin sticking in the strip, and the surface going rusty before the job is closed up.

If your project runs in a wet climate, near salt water, or into engineered lumber that is harder than the point was set for, send us the site conditions and the substrate and we will confirm the material grade and the point that suits it.

Length and Shank Selection Guide

Choosing the right length and shank depends on the structural load and on how permanent the joint has to be:

• 50mm - sheathing, subflooring, light duty bracing and temporary framing. Best paired with smooth shank where removal flexibility matters

• 60mm - general framing, wall stud to plate connections, decking and roof sheathing. The most versatile length for residential construction

• 83mm - heavy structural framing, ledger board connections, beam to post joints and engineered lumber. Best paired with ring shank for irreversible permanent connections

On shank: smooth shank relies on friction and is the easiest to pull, spiral shank screws into the wood fibres for higher withdrawal resistance in roofing and decking, and ring shank locks mechanically and is the strongest option where the connection must never back out.
