How this part is sized
Snap fasteners are sized in ligne (L) by the cap diameter, and are quoted as a four-part set (cap, socket, stud, post).
Common sizes are 15L (9.5 mm), 20L (12.5 mm) and 24L (15 mm).
Prong, ring and spring snaps at the same ligne size are not interchangeable — the attachment type has to be stated too.
Industry sizing convention for this type of hardware, not a specification of a specific part. The dimensions for your order are confirmed against your drawing or an approved sample.
Snap Buttons definition

Can Snap Buttons samples be requested before bulk production?
Sample lead time depends on material, finish and how much new setup the design needs. Our team confirms the schedule with your request.

Quality Control Workflow
Material, size, finish, function and packing checks.
Every order is checked five ways before it ships: material against the confirmed spec, dimensions against the approved sample, surface finish, function, and packing. Which checks apply to your order is written into the order sheet, so the same checks run on every batch.
- Material check
- Size inspection
- Surface finish inspection
- Function check
- Packing check
Custom Hardware Project Support
Logo, mold, material, finish and sample approval review.
A custom part starts from your drawing, a photo, or a sample in the post. We come back with the material and finish that will hold, whether an existing mold fits or a new one is needed, and what that changes about cost and timing. Samples are approved before bulk.
- Logo customization
- Custom mold
- Material selection
- Finish matching
- Sample approval
Testing Support Upon Request
Testing scope is reviewed before confirmation.
We do not run our own test lab. Salt spray, tensile, nickel release, lead content and REACH/RoHS checks go to third-party labs and are quoted per project, and you get the report issued for your order rather than a generic sample report.
- Salt spray testing upon request
- Tensile testing upon request
- Nickel-free requirement review
- Lead-free requirement review
- REACH/RoHS-related requirement review
