Snap Fasteners – what to choose?

Choose snap fasteners (press studs) by the thickness of the material: pick a length between 4 and 7 mm to match the layers you are joining. They come in silver, antique brass and black and suit leather, webbing, canvas and heavy fabrics. The minimum order is 100 pieces. Set them with a snap setter and a mallet.

Parameter guide

What the parameters mean and how to choose the right values.

The head diameter indicates the visible size of the snap fastener after riveting. Choose it according to your product’s design and proportions so that the button appears balanced.

The shank length (height of the button’s lower part) defines the material thickness suitable for the button. Choose a shank slightly longer than the material thickness (about 1–2 mm) to ensure proper closure during riveting.

Shank diameter is the thickness of the rivet section passing through the material and directly determines the joint strength.

The length of the lower shank of the button, the part that goes through the leather and is riveted. It has to match the leather thickness: too short a shank does not reach; too long a one stays loose after riveting and the button wobbles.

The range of material thickness (leather, fabric, webbing) the snap button is designed for.

Up to 2 mm – thin leather, fabric and webbing.
2–4 mm – standard saddlery leather.
Over 4 mm – heavy leather and multi-layer joints.
