Where Are 28L / 17 mm Fabric Covered Snap Buttons Used?
These fabric covered snap buttons are used on jackets, coats, vests, dresses, skirts, children’s clothing, cardigans, light outerwear, home textiles, bags and custom accessories. They are selected when the closure should match the main fabric instead of showing a standard metal cap.
For fashion designers, tailors and boutique workshops, fabric covered snap buttons help keep the finished product visually consistent and more refined.

Covering and Final Assembly
The application process has two stages. First, the outer snap cap is covered with fabric using a 28L / 17 mm fabric covering die. Then the covered cap is assembled with the matching 54 system socket and components using a compatible final setting die.
Installation Warning: The fabric covering die does not assemble the working snap mechanism. It only covers the outer cap. A separate compatible 54 system setting die is required for final assembly.
Fabric Preparation
The fabric must be cut with enough allowance to wrap around the cap. For repeat production, a 28 mm fabric cutting die helps prepare more consistent fabric circles for this 17 mm visible size group.
Important: If the fabric is cut too small, the cap edge may not be covered. If it is cut too large, excess bulk and uneven folding may affect the final result. Test according to fabric thickness.
Which Fabrics Should Be Tested?
Velvet, satin, slippery linings, stretch knits, thick woven fabrics, layered textiles, coated fabrics, stripes and checked fabrics should be tested before production. Fabric direction and thickness affect the covering result.
Application Warning: Test both fabric covering and final snap assembly with the real fabric before production. Check wrinkling, fabric shift, closing strength and material deformation.
