A plurality of staple abutting portionsandare spaced along the draw out direction of the staple bandat distances where they do not all abut the staple linking portion, thereby increasing the likelihood that at least one of the staple abutting portions will engage the staple linking portion to prevent significant withdrawal of the staple sheet back toward the staple storage portion.
