Magnetic Snap Buttons and Bag Magnets

Magnetic Snap Buttons and Bag Magnets

Magnetic snap buttons, also called magnetic snaps, bag magnets or magnetic bag clasps, are closure components used in bags, wallets, leather goods, folders, cases, handmade accessories, textile projects and decorative closure applications. Unlike standard press-fit snap fasteners, magnetic snaps support the closing action with magnetic attraction and help the flap or cover close more easily.

The E-Buttons magnetic snap buttons category is created for bag makers, leather workshops, craft suppliers, handmade accessory producers, textile manufacturers and accessory buyers. Depending on the product, buyers can compare curved magnetic snap buttons, flat magnetic snap fasteners, coin-type magnetic snaps, sew-on magnetic snaps, single-sided bag magnets and double-sided magnetic closures in different sizes, finishes and pack options.

Types of Magnetic Snap Buttons

Magnetic snap buttons should be selected according to mounting method, cap style and application surface. Sew-on models are attached by stitching, while prong-style or press-fit models require a suitable installation method. Curved and flat cap styles also create different visual effects on the final product.

How to Choose Magnetic Snap Button Size

Magnetic snap size is generally evaluated by the visible cap or magnet diameter. Smaller sizes can be suitable for compact wallets, cases and lightweight accessories. Larger sizes such as 18 mm / 0.71 in and 20 mm / 0.79 in are commonly used for bag flaps, leather bags, document cases and more visible closure points. Size should be selected according to flap weight, surface thickness, product size and desired closing feel.

Sew-On, Prong-Style and Press-Fit Magnetic Snaps

The mounting method is one of the most important points when choosing a magnetic snap button. Sew-on magnetic snaps are attached by stitching and can be practical for handmade bags, craft projects and sewing applications where a press or setting die is not used. Prong-style and press-fit magnetic snaps require a suitable installation method according to the product structure.

For prong-style or press-fit magnetic closures, the size, cap form, surface thickness and application method should be checked before ordering. For sew-on models, the stitching area, thread strength, fabric or leather thickness and frequency of use should be considered.

Material and Finish Selection

Magnetic snap buttons may be available in finishes such as free nickel, black nickel, gold, antique brass, gun metal, antique silver and other plated colours depending on the product model. Nickel and antique silver finishes can create a clean and modern look, while gold and antique brass tones are often selected for classic leather goods, bags and decorative accessories. Black nickel and gun metal finishes can match darker leather, fabric and bag designs.

Material can vary by product model. Some magnetic snap buttons may include brass, iron, metal or zinc alloy parts depending on the construction. A single material claim should not be made for the entire category. Before ordering, product material, finish, size, package content and application method should be checked on the individual product page.

Which Magnetic Snap Is Suitable for Which Product?

Installation and Compatible Application Tools

Magnetic snap installation depends on the product structure. Sew-on magnetic snaps can be stitched directly onto the application surface. Prong-style or press-fit models should be applied with a method that matches the snap size, connection structure and surface thickness. An unsuitable mounting method may cause poor alignment, weak closure or surface damage.

For compatible molds and dies, check the snap fastener assembly tools and dies category. For higher production quantities, workshop use or more consistent application, setting tools and machines can also be evaluated depending on the magnetic snap model and application method.
