0.71 in / 18 mm 28L Single-Cap Rivet-Set Magnetic Purse Snap Plus Quality SB 10132

Professional Magnetic Closure for Handbags and Purses

This 0.71 in / 18 mm single-cap magnetic snap is designed for handbag makers, leathercrafters, purse manufacturers and accessory brands that want a practical closure with a finished exterior hardware detail.

The closure features one visible metal cap measuring approximately 0.45 in / 11.5 mm. When properly set, the cap creates a smooth button-like appearance on the outside of a flap, clutch, wallet or case.

The Plus-quality magnetic construction supports easy opening and closing. Correct hole preparation, die alignment and setting pressure help produce a secure attachment and repeatable finish across small-batch or regular production.

What Is a Single-Cap Magnetic Snap?

A single-cap magnetic snap has one visible finished cap. The cap post passes through the project material and is secured to the compatible magnetic component with a setting die.

This structure gives the visible side a cleaner appearance than a basic exposed-prong installation. It is well suited to handbag flaps, leather wallets, clutches and other products where the closure hardware is part of the design.

Choose a double-cap version when both sides of the installation must have a finished metal cap.

Required Installation Tools

• A setting die compatible with this 0.71 in / 18 mm single-cap magnetic snap,
• A hand press, impact press or compatible manual setting holder,
• An appropriate hole cutter for the cap post,
• A stable work surface,
• Scrap project material for test installation.

Use the 0.71 in / 18 mm single-cap magnetic bag snap setting die for the setting stage.

For controlled hole preparation, review the 0.10 in / 2.5 mm hole cutter. Always compare the actual cap-post diameter, project thickness and hole fit before production.

Why Clean Hole Preparation Matters

The mounting post must pass through the leather or fabric without tearing the surface. An oversized opening may allow the cap to move, while an undersized or roughly cut opening may damage the material or bend the post.

A compatible hole cutter helps produce a cleaner opening on leather, faux leather, coated fabric and layered bag-making materials. Test the complete hardware and material combination before repeat production.

Installation Steps

1. Mark the meeting points for the magnetic socket and stud.
2. Check the complete material stack and cap-post length.
3. Prepare the mounting hole with a suitable hole cutter.
4. Insert the cap post in the correct direction.
5. Position the corresponding magnetic component.
6. Center the upper and lower setting dies.
7. Apply controlled press pressure or a controlled manual strike.
8. Inspect cap security, surface condition and magnetic alignment.
