In the furniture industry, a tack strip is a narrow, rigid strip, often made of metal or composite material with small protruding tacks. Tack strips are used to secure upholstery fabric or leather neatly and tightly to a frame. It is commonly applied along edges, corners, and contours of chairs, sofas, and ottomans where a clean, tailored finish is required. The fabric is pulled over the tack strip and pressed into place, allowing the tacks to grip and hold it firmly without visible fasteners on the exterior. This method helps upholsterers achieve sharp lines, smooth curves, and a professional appearance while also making the upholstery more durable and resistant to shifting over time.
