Yes, paper collated nails can often be used instead of plastic collated nails, depending on the type of application you intend to undertake and the environment you intend to use the nails. In general paper collated nails are available at a lower price point and are also friendlier for the environment, compared to their plastic counterparts. Before undertaking a task, you should check the compatibility of your tool. Some nailers are only compatible with either paper or plastic collated nails, whereas others are compatible with both.
