Upholstery Nails Pricing and Costs

Check out the wide variety of upholstery nail heads for your next project
By Shalleen Mayes If you want to add a certain bit of panache to your upholstery projects, upholstery nail heads can offer a classic finishing touch. What can be better than a leather chair accented with copper upholstery nails, or a brocade footstool finished with a row of hammered tacks? Upholstery nail trim is easy to apply and can also add some security to the finished product. They are available in a wide variety of styles, colors and sizes, so you can offer your customers a choice.

Upholstery nails pricing and costs depend on the style and quantity ordered. Many companies only sell wholesale upholstery nails to established customers, so the recreational crafter will not be able to get the same deals that a professional upholstery business can command.

Before you price the next upholstery project, look into the following:

1. Compare the prices of upholstery nails available to dealers with retail prices.

2. Consider the quantity you have to buy to get that great deal on upholstery tacks and nails.

3. Factor in the cost of an upholstery hammer to secure the trim.

Look at online stores for prices on upholstery nails

You can find basic styles of decorative upholstery nails at online sources, as well as fancier upholstery nails in a variety of shapes and sizes. To show off the upholstery tacks that you have to offer, order an upholstery nail board to display to customers.

Submit requests for best pricing from manufacturers of decorative nails

Upholstery nail manufacturers will require you to submit a request for pricing - pricing information is not available on their website. While this extra step may cause you to move on, it may be worth your while to see what deals you can get on upholstery decorative nails by buying wholesale from the manufacturer.
