How to Choose the Right Setting Die or Application Tool

When choosing a setting die or application tool, the product size, system type, cap diameter, inner diameter, base part shape, material thickness and machine compatibility should be checked together. A die should be selected according to the accessory group and the application method, not only according to the visual size of the product.

Snap fasteners may belong to different systems such as 54 system, 61 system, Alfa, Deluxe, Klikit, VT2, baby prong snaps or coat snaps. Eyelets and grommets should be selected by number, inner diameter, washer type, material and the thickness of the surface. Rivets and jeans buttons should be matched by cap diameter, nail or post structure and the type of material being used.
