Upholstery Staples – Essential Components for Furniture Production

Upholstery staples are used from the very beginning of furniture production. They play a key role in fastening upholstery on chairs and creating intricate, quilted sofas. Due to their critical function in the manufacturing process, it is essential to use only the highest quality staples. Explore our wide range of upholstery staples available at Jedmar.

Types of Upholstery Staples

The best upholstery staples are made from dry-drawn steel that undergoes annealing, galvanizing, and wet-drawing processes. This treatment ensures the staples are durable, penetrate materials effectively, and resist bending. Common types of upholstery staples include:

• Thin wire staples: Primarily used to fasten upholstery fabric, leather, or roofing foils.
• Rounded finish staples: Ideal for cable fastening.
• Flat wire staples: Suitable for securing posters, leather, and soft upholstery fabrics.
• Narrow staples: Used for deep quilting applications.

How to Choose the Right Upholstery Staples

Selecting the proper staples depends on the material you intend to fasten. Staples for wood fastening behave differently than those designed for cable attachment. As a general rule, the staple length should be about three times the thickness of the material to ensure secure attachment. For harder woods, shorter staples are recommended to avoid bending during use.

When purchasing staples, consider the scope of your work, your skill level, and budget. For heavy-duty or professional upholstery work, pneumatic staplers paired with matching staples offer speed and efficiency despite a higher initial investment.

Quality Staples Ensure Professional Results

Today’s customers pay close attention to detail and expect flawless finishes. Even seemingly small components like upholstery staples significantly impact the durability and appearance of finished furniture. Using high-quality staples tailored to the type of wood and fabric guarantees long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing results that meet the demands of discerning clients.

Staples vs. Nails – Which to Use?

Choosing between staples and nails depends on your project. Upholstery staples are typically preferred for fastening fabric, but when attaching panels or plywood sheets, wood staples or nails might be more appropriate. Aesthetic considerations and personal preference also influence the choice.

Tools for Applying Upholstery Staples

To use upholstery staples properly, the right stapler (or tack gun) is necessary. Matching your stapler model with compatible staples ensures optimal performance. Even small dimensional mismatches can reduce stapling quality or cause jams.

There are three main types of upholstery staplers:

• Manual staplers: Convenient and affordable for quick, small repairs.
• Electric staplers: Suitable for hobbyists needing more efficiency.
• Pneumatic staplers: Preferred by professionals for fast, fatigue-free work. Some models allow pressure adjustment for delicate materials.
