Coin Type Snap Fasteners

Coin Type Snap Fasteners and Flat Snap Buttons

Coin type snap fasteners, also known as flat snap buttons or money type snaps, are snap button models with a flatter and more minimal visible cap. They are used in garments, shirts, bodysuits, jackets, bags, home textiles, leather goods, children’s clothing, craft projects and accessory applications. Compared with domed snap buttons, coin type snaps create a cleaner and more understated closure detail.

In the E-Dugme coin type snap fasteners category, buyers can compare 54 System coin type snaps, magnetic coin type snaps, plastic cap models, zamak cap options and double cap snap fasteners. Depending on the product model, material options may include brass, plastic cap structures or zamak. A single material or single system claim should not be made for the entire category because the visible cap and the bottom parts may vary by product.

What Are Coin Type Snap Fasteners?

A coin type snap fastener is a snap button with a flatter cap shape that resembles a coin-like surface. This cap form is preferred when the finished product needs a practical closure without a bulky or overly raised look. Coin type snap buttons are suitable for products where a clean, simple and lower-profile metal or coloured cap appearance is required.

Cap shape alone is not enough for selection. Snap size, working system, cap material, bottom 3 parts material, application surface thickness and setting die compatibility should be checked together. Two coin type snap buttons with a similar diameter may have different material structures or different application requirements.

Types of Coin Type Snap Fasteners

Coin type snap fasteners include several product structures. Some models are 54 System flat snap buttons used in garments, bodysuits, shirts, home textiles and bags. Some models are magnetic coin type snaps for bag flaps and accessory closures. Plastic cap coin type snaps can be selected for colour-matched textile projects. Zamak cap models can be evaluated for bags, leather goods and decorative applications.

How to Choose Coin Type Snap Size

Size affects both the visual balance and the application area of a coin type snap fastener. Smaller sizes such as 10.5 mm / 0.41 in and 11.5 mm / 0.45 in can be evaluated for compact and lighter products. 12.5 mm / 0.49 in and 15 mm / 0.59 in are practical sizes for shirts, bodysuits, garments, bags and home textiles. Larger sizes such as 17 mm / 0.67 in, 18 mm / 0.71 in and 20 mm / 0.79 in can be used for jackets, coats, bags, leather goods and more visible closure points.

Coin Type Snap Fasteners vs. Domed Snap Buttons

The main difference between coin type snap fasteners and domed snap buttons is the visible cap form. Coin type snaps have a flatter, simpler and lower-profile cap. Domed snap buttons have a more raised and rounded cap. Both product groups should be selected according to size, material, working system, surface thickness and application method.

Material and Finish Selection

Coin type snap fasteners may be available with brass, zamak or plastic cap structures depending on the product model. Some models may have a different visible cap material and different bottom 3 parts material. Before ordering, material type, cap structure, bottom parts, working system and package content should be checked on the individual product page.

Finish colours may include free nickel, black nickel, gold, antique brass, gun metal, black, white, antique silver and other options depending on the product. Gold and antique brass finishes can create a classic appearance on leather goods and bags. Free nickel, black nickel, gun metal and antique silver finishes can be suitable for cleaner, darker or more technical garment designs.

Plastic Cap and Metal Bottom Part Coin Type Snaps

Some coin type snap models may have a plastic visible cap while the bottom connection parts may be brass, stainless steel, iron or sheet metal depending on the product model. Therefore, plastic cap coin type snap buttons should not automatically be considered fully plastic snap fasteners. The top cap material and bottom 3 parts material should be checked separately.

Plastic cap coin type snaps can be evaluated for colour-matched garments, children’s clothing, shirts, bodysuits, home textiles and bags. Cap colour, bottom parts material, working system and setting die compatibility should be reviewed before ordering.

Setting Die and Application Tool Compatibility

Coin type snap fasteners should be installed with a setting die that matches the product size, working system and cap form. 54 System, magnetic, plastic cap, zamak and double cap snap fasteners should not be treated as one universal application system. The cap, socket, stud and bottom parts must align correctly during installation.

For compatible molds, dies and application equipment, visit the setting dies, fastening molds and application tools category. Depending on the product group and production volume, coin type snap dies can be used with hand striking tools, hand presses, impact presses, electric machines or pneumatic machines.
