A Production-Oriented 54 System Snap Set
This baby pink plastic cap snap set is intended for workshops and makers who need a consistent closure component for garment development, sample runs and controlled small-batch production. The 12.5 mm / 0.492 in cap works well where a compact visible fastener is preferred.
The product combines a plastic visible cap with metal bottom components. It should therefore be specified as a plastic cap snap, not as an all-plastic fastener.
Useful for prototypes and short runs
- Babywear development
- Bodysuit and onesie samples
- Children’s apparel
- Sleepwear and homewear
- Lightweight shirts and bibs
- Independent sewing studios
- Replacement and repair batches

Application and system matching
For reliable results, match the die to the complete component set rather than choosing it only from the cap diameter. The upper die profile, bottom-part geometry, nail structure, press connection and fabric thickness all affect the finished application.
For prototypes, test the snap on the actual fabric and final layer count. Lightweight or elastic fabrics may need reinforcement. The cap must sit centrally and should not be compressed, scratched or distorted during setting.
Selection warning
Different 12.5 mm snap systems can have different component geometries. A die made for another system may produce a weak closure or damage the plastic cap. Confirm 54 System compatibility and the product reference ERC00125PLBPembe before purchasing application equipment.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cap diameter in inches?
The cap diameter is 12.5 mm / 0.492 in, also commonly described as 20 Ligne.
How is one complete set assembled?
Each set contains one plastic cap, one female part, one male part and one nail.
How many sets are supplied?
The package contains 100 complete sets, equal to 400 individual components.
Is the pink colour applied to every component?
No. The baby pink colour refers to the visible plastic cap. The lower components are metal.
Can the set be used for garment prototypes?
Yes. It is suitable for prototype work, sampling, studio production and small garment runs when the fabric and setting equipment are appropriate.
Does the package include a press?
No. The press, setting die and other installation tools are separate.
Is every 12.5 mm die suitable?
No. The die must match the 54 System arrangement and the specific plastic cap profile.
Why is a sample application important?
A test confirms the correct pressure, reinforcement and component alignment before the same setting is used across a production batch.
