Prym's Color Snaps are plastic snap fasteners set without needle or thread. The size comes to Ø 9 mm. Inside the pack are 36 pieces. Made from polyoxymethylene.
On bags, cases and pouches they hold a flap shut without anyone sewing where strain will later build. Marking the position with chalk beforehand means hitting it exactly and unpicking nothing afterwards. They are set from both sides of the fabric; only then does the fastening sit tight. A test on a scrap shows whether the layer holds.
What Prym Color Snaps Ø 9mm Mini Mischpackung Hellblau-Töne 393501 is suitable for
- Cuffs, hoods and necklines
- Flaps on bags and cases
- Alterations to finished garments
Frequently asked questions
Which fabrics do they suit?
From jersey to denim, most things work. Thin cloth needs a reinforcement under the fastening, or it will tear out over time. Two layers plus interfacing make the safe build-up.
Can a badly placed fastener be removed?
Yes, there is removal tooling for that. It rarely comes off without a trace, so test on a scrap first until position and pressure are right.
Do they survive the wash?
The parts resist corrosion and come out of the machine as they went in. For very hot washes, turn the piece inside out so nothing knocks against the drum.
What spacing should I keep?
As a rule of thumb the first one sits about its own width from the edge, the rest at even intervals. Marking with chalk or a pen keeps the row straight.
