Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between blue and orange plastic cap nails?
Functionally, they are identical — same 1" galvanized nail and 1" HDPE cap. The only difference is the cap color. Blue is often preferred for siding installations because it stands out against most house wrap colors, while orange is popular for roofing felt. The color is purely for visibility and contractor preference.
Are these nails suitable for foam board insulation?
Yes, plastic cap nails are the recommended fastener for foam board insulation. The 1" cap prevents the foam from being pulled through the nail head, and the cap distributes wind load over a larger area. For thicker foam (2"+), we recommend our 1-1/2" or 2" plastic cap nails.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Our MOQ is 100 boxes (100,000 pieces). This allows for efficient production runs while keeping inventory accessible to mid-size distributors. For trial orders below MOQ, please contact us to discuss options.
Can I mix cap colors in one container?
Yes, we can mix orange, blue, and other cap colors in a single 40'HQ container. This is a popular option for distributors who want to offer multiple colors without placing separate orders. Mixed-color containers require a small setup fee.
What is the lead time for a 40'HQ order?
For a full 40'HQ container (7,680 cartons), standard lead time is 20-30 days. Blue is one of our stock colors and may have shorter lead times than custom colors. Contact us for current production schedule.
