Every Magnetic Snap Buttons Item We Make
A flap that gapes is the most visible fault on a shelf sample, and it is almost always a 2 mm snap fitted behind a flap that needed the 4 mm one.
Problems This Category Solves
- A weak magnet lets the flap gape, which is the single most visible fault on a shelf sample
- Prong plates that are too thin pull through a soft lining after a few hundred openings
- Thickness that was not checked against the flap material makes the closure sit proud
What You Get
- Diameter and thickness options so the magnet strength suits the flap weight
- Brass and iron construction with the prong plate sized to spread the pull
- Plated caps in the same colour range as the bag's other trim
Who Buys These
- Handbag and wallet factories replacing snap fasteners with a hidden closure
- Leather workshops that fit closures by hand
- Packaging makers needing a magnetic lid catch

|---|---|
| Metal snap fastener | A snap holds harder but needs two hands and shows a visible cap on the flap face |
| Hook and loop tape | Tape is cheapest but is noisy, collects lint and looks unfinished on a leather bag |

Magnetic Snap Buttons Questions
The questions buyers send us about this category.
Which Thickness Should I Choose
The 2 mm version suits light flaps and wallets, and the 4 mm version suits structured or heavier flaps. Ask for both in the sample set and test them on your own material.
