Staples play a crucial role in upholstery. Whether you're a professional or a do-it-yourselfer, using the right staples and tools makes the difference between a neat finish and a less durable result. In this article we discuss the different types of staplers and staples, so that you always make the right choice.
Small Jobs: Hand Tackers
A hand tacker is ideal for smaller upholstery jobs. These are easy to use and also affordable to purchase. Hand tackers are perfect for light work such as securing fabrics to smaller furniture or accessories. A small disadvantage is that the staples can be slightly more expensive for some brands, which can affect your costs in the long run.
Larger Jobs: Electric or Pneumatic
Professional upholsterers and serious do-it-yourselfers often choose electric or pneumatic staplers. These provide greater power, speed and consistency, which is especially important for larger projects such as upholstery of sofas, chairs and other furniture.
Bee Bladi BV we focus on pneumatic staplers because of their reliability and durability. These work with air pressure and are available at affordable rates. This type of device requires type 80 staples, which are among the most commonly used staples in the upholstery world. They are strong, versatile and suitable for a variety of applications.
Why Type 80 Stapling?
Type 80 staples are the standard choice for most upholstery projects. They offer:
-
Strong adhesion: Ideal for sturdy fabrics and intensive use.
-
Versatility: Suitable for various materials such as fabric, foam and wood.
