Jersey snap fasteners are the ideal choice for fastening fine, soft, or elastic textiles. Unlike conventional snap fasteners, they do not have a solid post but rather a fine prong ring that penetrates the material very gently.
What distinguishes Jersey snap fasteners?
The teeth of the prong ring do not cut or damage the fabric fibers when pressed; instead, they simply push them aside. This prevents the snap fastener from tearing out, even with frequent use.
-
Material-friendly: No pre-punching necessary – the prongs grip cleanly through the textile fibers.
-
Flat design: Sits comfortably light on the skin and does not bulk up.
-
Light closing force: Can be opened and closed effortlessly and without much force.
-
Typical applications: Baby and children's clothing (e.g., bodysuits, rompers), T-shirts, bed linen, thin cotton fabrics, and elastic sportswear.
Tips for perfect application
-
No pre-punching: Do not punch a hole in the fabric beforehand. The prong ring will press through the material on its own during the pressing process.
-
Reinforce fabric for thin materials: For very thin or highly stretchable single jersey fabrics, it is recommended to apply a small interlining (e.g., fusible fleece) on the back to give the snap fastener additional hold.
-
Suitable tools: Always use the stamps specified for jersey snap fasteners (prong rings) for your eyelet press or hand pliers to avoid deforming the element.
