Choosing Upholstery Staples: 80, 90, 92 and 100 Series

Staples are among the consumables that most affect productivity in an upholstery workshop. The series must match your gun and hold fabric, board or webbing securely to the frame.

• 80 series: fine wire, wide 12.7 mm crown, for fabric and leather (4–22 mm).
• 90 series: narrow 5.7 mm crown, for board, fibre and lining (10–40 mm).
• 92 series: heavier wire for webbing and heavy fabrics (17–40 mm).
• 100 series: heaviest wire for frames and heavy upholstery (20–50 mm).

Always match the staple series to the gun. See staples and staple guns.
