Cardboard Tack Strip

Cardboard tack strip is a must-have tool for achieving professional upholstery finishes. Measuring 90cm long, 12.7mm wide, and 1.5 micron thick, this cost-effective strip is ideal for back-tacking fabrics to create invisible seams. However, this versatile tool can also be used for a range of other tasks in upholstery.

Not only can it be used to finish raw edges, but it can also be used to strengthen piping and as a packer to fill in any gaps in your upholstery. Additionally, cardboard tack strip is a great measuring tool, allowing you to get precise measurements for your upholstery projects. It can also be used to smooth off rough or raw timber edges, making it a handy tool to have in your workshop.

This will provide a smooth, straight edge when the fabric is folded back over it, creating a professional finish every time.
