Magnetic Snap Button in 14 mm and 18 mm
A zinc alloy magnetic snap in 14 mm and 18 mm diameters in the full plated colour range. The 14 mm size is the wallet and small flap standard and the 18 mm is for tote and messenger flaps, so most customers sample both before choosing. Minimum 1,000 pieces.
The plain two-size magnetic snap, the baseline against which the thicker versions are judged.

Problems It 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
Key Benefits
- 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
Application Scenarios
- Handbag and tote flap closures
- Wallet and card holder closures
- Inner pocket closures where a zip would be too bulky
- Presentation and gift box lids
Who It Is For
- 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

Photographs of This Item
Every image is a photograph of the part itself, taken from the manufacturer's own product record rather than a rendering.
Use Guide
- Choose the thicker version for a heavy or structured flap
- Always fit a reinforcement layer behind the prong plate
- Test the closure through the finished material thickness, not on bare leather
| Compared with | What changes |
|---|---|
| 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 |
