This product now covers the main 71 Series staple sizes, including 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm and 14mm, making it easier to choose the correct leg length for your upholstery project from one listing.

These staples are suitable for compatible 71 Series staple guns, including the Maestri ME3G/71 Electric Staple Gun, making them a practical choice for both professional upholsterers and serious DIY users.

Why Choose 71 Series Upholstery Staples?

The 71 Series fine wire staple is one of the most commonly used staple types in upholstery because it offers a strong hold while keeping the fixing neat and discreet.

The fine wire profile helps reduce unnecessary damage to fabrics, making these staples suitable for everything from delicate upholstery work to stronger fixing jobs where a deeper leg length is needed.

Choose a shorter staple for lighter fabrics and thinner materials, or a longer staple when you need extra grip through thicker layers.

Choosing the Right Staple Length

As a simple guide, use the shortest staple that gives a secure fixing.

For lighter fabrics, linings and thinner materials, 4mm, 6mm or 8mm staples are usually more suitable. For thicker fabrics, multiple layers, webbing or areas that need a stronger hold, 10mm, 12mm or 14mm staples may be the better option.

The aim is simple: enough bite to hold properly, but not so much staple that it punches through or causes problems. Like most workshop jobs, the trick is using the right tool and the right fixing — not just the biggest one in the box.
