How to Attach Snap Fasteners

Attachment Method 1: Round Springs

	socket Side - Rolling	Stud Side - Rolling
	The post of the cap goes through one piece of material. The open end of the post is then rolled over itself to make a bulge, which permanently secures the socket to the material..	The post of the eyelet goes through the second piece of material then through the hole in the stud. The open end of the post is then rolled over itself so it's too wide to be pulled out, which permanently secures the stud to the material.

Attachment Method 2: Parallel Springs

	socket Side - rolling	Stud Side - crushing
	The post of the cap goes through one piece of material. The open end of the post is then rolled over itself to make a bulge, which permanently secures the socket to the material..	The post of the eyelet goes through the second piece of material and is permanently secured by crushing it into the raised bulb in the center of the stud.

Attachment Method 3: Segmented Springs

	socket Side - crushing	Stud Side - crushing
	The cap is flat on the underside with a hole in the middle of the flat part. The narrow part of the socket goes through the first piece of material then into the hole on the underside of the cap. Then the socket is crushed into the cap, and the 4 segments spread inside the cap to secure it.	The post of the eyelet goes through the second piece of material and then into the raised bulb of the stud. They are then crushed together and the eyelet spreads out inside the bulb, which permanently fastens them together.

Hidden: This is your most cost-effective option if the snap fastener will be hidden (i.e., the eyelet will be covered by some kind of material).

Single Cap: The optimum solution if one side will be hidden (i.e., covered by some kind of material) and the other side will be visible.

Double Cap: The best choice if both sides will be visible, for example in lab coats and certain parts of handbags.

A Capped Eyelet is typically used on the stud side of a double-cap snap fastener. The Capped Eyelet usually has some decorative relationship to the cap on the other side..

NOTE: Various configuration options are available for each type of spring. Not all options are available in all spring types. See the "Snap Fastener" options in the menu above to look at specifics.
