Snap Fasteners

Snap Fasteners let you quickly and neatly create a closure for clothing, bags, accessories, and fabric projects. They’re ideal for baby clothes, cardigans, jackets, bibs, covers, pencil cases, bags, and other sewing projects where you want a practical closure without buttonholes.

In this collection, you’ll find various types of snap fasteners, such as sew-on snap fasteners, snap fasteners for installation with tools, refills, ColorSnaps, Anorak snap fasteners, Jersey snap fasteners, and matching pliers. This makes it easy to choose the right snap fastener for your fabric, project, and desired finish.

The type of Snap Fastener you need depends on the material and the application. For thin or stretchy fabrics, jersey Snap Fasteners are often a good choice. For jackets, bags, and sturdier fabrics, you’re better off choosing anorak snap fasteners or sturdy snap fasteners with a larger diameter. Sew-on snap fasteners are handy when you don’t want to use pliers or attach a closure with a needle and thread.

What kind of Snap Fasteners do you need?

For lightweight fabrics and baby clothes, smaller Snap Fasteners are often sufficient. For sturdy materials, such as canvas, coat fabric, or bags, it’s better to choose larger and stronger Snap Fasteners. Also pay attention to how they’re attached: some Snap Fasteners are sewn on, while others are attached using snap pliers or special tools.

Sew-on Snap Fasteners or Snap Fasteners that require pliers?

Sew-on Snap Fasteners are attached with a needle and thread. They’re handy for repairs, small sewing projects, and fabrics where you want to work carefully and precisely. Snap Fasteners that are set with pliers are pressed into the fabric and provide a neat, secure finish. For this, you can use, for example, a Prym Vario snap setter or the appropriate tool from a starter kit.
