17 mm / 0.67 in Stainless Steel Alpha Curved Snap Fasteners are a functional four-part fastening solution for outerwear, denim, tarpaulins, utility garments, bags, and textile accessories. The slightly domed cap gives the product a stronger visual detail than a small flat snap, making it a useful choice where the closure remains visible and contributes to the finished design.
This 17 mm / 0.67 in size is suitable for jacket fronts, coat closures, cuffs, denim shirts, denim jackets, canvas goods, bag flaps, workwear, and selected children’s garments made from medium-weight materials. It is large enough to be easy to operate while remaining proportionate on many apparel and accessory products.
Alpha Spring Snap Construction
Each complete Alpha snap set includes four coordinated components:
- Curved cap: the visible outer component
- Spring socket: the receiving part of the fastening mechanism
- Star stud: the male component that connects to the socket
- Post: the component that secures the snap through the material
The snap’s closing performance depends on the correct alignment of all four parts. Keep the components from the same Alpha system together throughout sampling and production to maintain a consistent closure feel.
When Is 17 mm / 0.67 in the Right Size?
Select this size when the closure needs to be easy to see and easy to operate on medium-weight products. It is a good fit for outerwear, denim, utility garments, tarpaulins, bags, and accessories where a small snap may look undersized or be difficult to grip.
For fine shirts, light blouses, delicate babywear, or small hidden closures, a smaller snap can create a cleaner result. For thick heavy canvas, multi-layer denim, or demanding utility applications, complete a press test on the actual material stack before beginning production.
Stainless Steel Material and Finish Options
Stainless steel is useful for products that experience regular handling, standard washing, or occasional moisture exposure. It offers a dependable metal closure option for apparel and accessories where durability matters.
Nickel, Black Nickel, antique yellow, gold-look yellow, and black oxide finishes can be selected to coordinate with zippers, rivets, buckles, labels, and other visible hardware. Nickel pairs well with silver-tone designs, while Black Nickel works naturally with black, charcoal, navy, and technical outdoor palettes.
Installation Guidance
Install this snap with a compatible 17 mm / 0.67 in Alpha snap setting die. The correct die supports the domed cap, keeps the socket and stud centered, and helps prevent uneven pressure marks during application.

The snap can be installed with a hand press, impact press, electric machine, or pneumatic machine when the die and machine connection are compatible. For thin, stretch, or loosely woven fabrics, add a suitable stabilizer or backing layer if the installation point needs additional support.
