18 mm / 0.71 in Single Cap Magnetic Bag Snap Setting Die KLP0018MTK

18 mm / 0.71 in Single Cap Magnetic Bag Snap Setting Die

This Single Cap Magnetic Bag Snap Setting Die is a three-piece metal die set for controlled installation of compatible 18 mm / 0.71 in magnetic bag closures. It helps align the visible capped side of the snap during press installation on handbags, wallets, portfolios, organisers, leather goods and textile accessories.

The product is a setting die only. It does not include the magnetic snap, make material holes or replace the need to match the actual closure structure to the die.

Compatible Single Cap Magnetic Snap

This die is intended for compatible single cap magnetic bag snaps. A single cap closure has one visible capped side, while its reverse-side fastening components are selected according to the actual snap system.

18 mm / 0.71 in Single-Sided Magnetic Bag Snap is the matching closure type for this setting die.

Why Closure Construction Matters

Magnetic bag snaps may have the same visible diameter but different fastening structures. Single cap, double cap, double-prong and sew-on versions can require different setting surfaces or no setting die at all.

Use this die only with the compatible single cap system. Do not select a die by diameter alone; compare the actual cap profile, reverse-side fastening geometry and material stack before production.

What This Die Does Not Do

• It does not include the magnetic bag snap.
• It does not punch material holes or slots.
• It does not automatically install double-cap magnetic closures.
• It does not apply double-prong magnetic snaps.
• It does not apply sew-on magnetic snaps.

Material Preparation

When the selected magnetic snap requires a hole, slot or other preparation, use a Hole Cutter chosen for the actual fastening component. Do not choose the opening size from the visible 18 mm / 0.71 in magnetic snap diameter alone.

For soft faux leather, thin fabric, lined bags and reinforced panels, make a sample using the exact outer material, lining and reinforcement layers before repeat production.

Typical Applications

• Handbags and shoulder bags
• Wallets, card holders and portfolios
• Organisers, pouches and document cases
• Leather and faux-leather accessories
• Canvas and textile bag production
• Craft, boutique and small-batch workshop projects

Press Compatibility

Use this die with a physically compatible hand press or impact press. M6 and 1/4 in are different die-connection standards, so check the actual holder, thread diameter, thread pitch and press alignment before installation.

Application Sequence

1. Select the compatible 18 mm / 0.71 in single cap magnetic bag snap.
2. Check cap profile, fastening geometry and total material thickness.
3. Mark the snap position on the bag body or flap.
4. Prepare the material only if required by the actual snap construction.
5. Place each magnetic component in the corresponding die surface.
6. Apply controlled press pressure.
7. Set the mating magnetic half in the matching position.
8. Test closure alignment, magnetic holding strength and fastening security.

Frequently Asked Questions

What magnetic closure is this die for?

It is intended for compatible 18 mm / 0.71 in single cap magnetic bag snaps.

Are magnetic snaps included?

No. The package includes the three-piece setting-die set only.

Can this die be used for double-cap magnetic snaps?

Not automatically. Double-cap systems can have different setting surfaces and require physical compatibility confirmation.

Can it set double-prong magnetic snaps?

Not automatically. Double-prong closures use a different fastening system and may need a different installation method.

Does this tool punch holes in leather or fabric?

No. Hole or slot preparation must be completed separately, according to the actual fastening component.

Can it be used with a hand press?

Yes, when the physical die holder, thread connection and press alignment are compatible.

Why should I test the materials first?

Outer material thickness, lining, reinforcement layers and closure geometry affect the required pressure and finished appearance. A sample helps confirm the correct result before repeat production.
