Safety pins for canvas, tents and heavy work — sizes 5, 6, 7
The three largest sizes: 65–85 mm long on 1.10–1.35 mm wire, stiff enough to pass through canvas, tent fabric, covers and layered material without bending. Wholesale boxes of 144–216, from the Sampheng counter.
Pick the size by how thick the job is
These three differ in length and wire gauge. Thicker wire holds more tension but leaves a bigger hole — so take the smallest size that still passes through comfortably.
Stage work, drapes, table covers, fabric pleating — medium-weight material where a tidy, small pin hole matters.
The default for tarps and netting — stiff enough not to bend through coated fabric, still easy to handle. The most-ordered size for canvas work.
The jumbo. For thick tent fabric, several layers at once, or high-tension points — also popular for keychains and display work where it needs to be seen.
What people use the big sizes for
| Job | Size | Why this size |
|---|---|---|
| Truck tarps and covers | 6 | Coated tarp needs 1.25 mm wire or thicker to push through without bending |
| Tents and outdoor covers | 7 | Thick fabric plus wind load — size 7 on 1.35 mm wire holds best |
| Fabric banners and signs | 6 – 7 | Faster than tying, and easy to swap the sign out |
| Stage, drapes, pleating | 5 | Long enough for several folds, small enough not to mark the fabric |
| Bird and shade netting | 6 | Grips the mesh firmly and comes off without tearing it |
| Keychains, crafts, shop décor | 7 | At 85 mm it reads as part of the design, not just a fastener |
Why fabric shops order here
Sizes 5–7 move slowly, so most shops don't stock them. We keep them on hand for repeat orders.
Sizes 6 and 7 come 144 to a box, so costing by the gross needs no conversion.
