Thanks so much for your question about the difference between standard and chisel point staples. This is such a great question because their really are so many choices on the market due to different types of staplers.
Standard, typically refers to the type of staple which would be used in your common office/household stapler. The leg length of a standard staple is 1/4" inch and has the capacity to fasten up to 20 pages. Other stapler types include a heavy-duty stapler which requires a heavy-duty staple that can vary in leg length to fasten a larger quantity of pages or electric staplers which require a specific type of staple according to the model.
Chisel point simply refers to the tip of the legs that penetrate the paper or surface. A chisel point allows for smooth penetration of papers and surfaces while reducing jamming.
