Most likely what you are seeing is hard plastic.
I always bought mine from Lebaron. However, I find it difficult to believe others don't carry it.
Riveting it in place is fine. Do NOT use steel rivets for obvious reasons. Rivet every two inches.
the hard plastic is the preferred material used by the "pros". It holds the staples much better than any fiber (read: paper) product and will not hold moisture.
