18 mm / 0.71 in Double Cap Magnetic Bag Snap Setting Die
This Double Cap Magnetic Bag Snap Setting Die is a three-piece iron die set for controlled installation of compatible 18 mm / 0.71 in magnetic closures. It supports a cleaner and more centred application of capped, rivet-style bag magnets in handbags, wallets, portfolios, organisers, leather goods and textile accessories.
The product is a setting die only. It does not include the magnetic closure, punch material holes or replace the need to select the correct connection standard for the press.
Compatible Magnetic Closure Structure
This die is designed for an 18 mm / 0.71 in double cap, rivet-style magnetic bag snap. This closure structure creates a capped visible finish on both sides of the fastening point.
Choose the matching 18 mm double cap magnetic snap from the Magnetic Snap Buttons and Bag Magnets category.
Why Magnetic Snap Type Matters
Magnetic bag closures may share a similar visible diameter while using different assembly structures. A double cap rivet magnetic snap, double-prong snap, sew-on snap and single-sided rivet snap do not necessarily use the same die surfaces.
This die should therefore be used only with the compatible double cap rivet-style system. Confirm the actual cap profile and fastening geometry before production.
What This Setting Die Does Not Do
- It does not include the magnetic bag snap.
- It does not punch holes or slots in the material.
- It does not set double-prong magnetic snaps automatically.
- It does not apply sew-on magnetic snaps.
- It does not confirm compatibility with single-sided rivet magnetic snaps.
Material Preparation
Where the actual magnetic snap construction requires a hole or slot, prepare the material separately with a Hole Cutter selected for the real fastening section. Do not select a hole size from the visible 18 mm / 0.71 in snap diameter alone.
For thin fabrics, soft faux leather, lined bags and reinforced panels, sample-test the exact material stack before repeat production. The final result depends on cap geometry, lining thickness, reinforcement layers and press pressure.
Typical Applications
- Handbags and shoulder bags
- Wallets, portfolios and card holders
- Organisers, document cases and accessory pouches
- Leather and faux-leather accessories
- Canvas and textile bag production
- Craft, boutique and small-batch workshop work
Press Compatibility
Use this die with a physically compatible hand press or impact press. M6 and 1/4 in options are different die-connection standards; confirm the actual holder, thread diameter, thread pitch and press alignment before use.
Application Sequence
- Select the compatible 18 mm / 0.71 in double cap magnetic bag snap.
- Check cap profile, fastening construction and total material thickness.
- Mark the snap position on the bag body or flap.
- Prepare the material only when the actual fastening design requires it.
- Place each component in the correct die surface according to its assembly sequence.
- Apply controlled press pressure.
- Set the mating magnetic half in the corresponding position.
- Test closing alignment, fastening security and visible cap condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
What magnetic snap system is this die for?
It is for compatible 18 mm / 0.71 in double cap, rivet-style magnetic bag snaps.
Are magnetic snaps included?
No. This product includes the three-piece setting-die set only.
Can it set double-prong magnetic snaps?
Not automatically. Double-prong systems use different fastening geometry and require their own verified setting method.
Can it be used with sew-on magnetic snaps?
No. Sew-on magnetic snaps are attached through sewing holes and do not require this press die.
Does this die punch the material?
No. Hole or slot preparation is a separate operation selected according to the actual snap construction.
Can it be used with a hand press?
Yes, when the die connection and press holder are physically compatible.
Why should I make a sample first?
Material thickness, lining, reinforcement and cap geometry affect the final setting. A sample confirms pressure, alignment and closure quality before repeat production.
