Double Cap Rivets for Durable and Stylish Attachments

What Are Double Cap Rivets?

Double cap rivets are metal fastening components that create a finished cap appearance on both sides of the material. They are practical for products where the front and reverse sides of the fastening point remain visible.

This category is designed for bag makers, leather goods producers, belt manufacturers, wallet makers and textile accessory workshops. Front cap size, back cap size, post length, total material thickness and setting die compatibility should be checked before ordering.

Where Can They Be Used?

• Bag handles and strap connections
• Belts and belt-end fastening points
• Wallets, card holders and organizers
• Key holders and visible leather accessories
• Canvas bags and textile accessories
• Two-sided leather, faux leather and fabric parts

How to Choose a Double Cap Rivet

Single Cap vs. Double Cap Rivets

Single cap rivets create a finished cap on one side only. They can be useful when the reverse side is hidden, lined or not visually important.

Double cap rivets create a finished cap appearance on both sides. They are suitable for wallets, belts, card holders, bag handles and leather parts where both faces remain visible.

Front Cap, Back Cap and Post Length

Front cap and back cap dimensions affect the visible appearance of the fastening point. Smaller caps are usually better for compact leather goods, while wider caps can be preferred for bags, belts and stronger visual details.

Post length must match the total thickness of the material layers. If the post is too short, the rivet may not close properly. If it is too long for the material, it may bend or create an uneven surface during installation.

Setting Die and Application Tool Compatibility

Double cap rivets should be installed with a setting die compatible with the rivet system, cap form, back cap and post structure. Final compatibility should be checked according to the product system, size, connection structure and die standard.

Compatible setting dies and application tools can be used with hand-setting tools, hand presses, impact presses, electric machines and pneumatic machines.
