An automated method of attaching an item to a display board using elastic staples is described. A table having pivotable fixtures for containing and stabilizing items is automatically rotated to various work stations. At a selected station an item to be boarded is placed proximate a fixture pivotally mounted on the table with a pre-positioned board therebeneath. The table indexes to a conventional dual needle tack or staple gun which drives an elastic staple over the item and into the board below, securing the item to the board. One or more staples may be employed depending on the particular size and shape of the item being boarded. The table then rotates further allowing the boarded item to be removed and placed in a storage bin for collection and shipment to a retail store or other location for display purposes.
