12.5 mm (0.49 in) Gray Plastic Cap Snap Buttons, Pack of 100 ERC00125PLGri
For garment makers seeking neutral closure hardware, these 12.5 mm (0.49 in) gray plastic-cap snap buttons create a clean visible detail without an exposed shiny metal cap. They're a practical option to evaluate on uniform pieces, casual shirts, aprons and lightweight sewn goods. A finished snap pairs the plastic-faced cap with a socket, stud and post made from metal. These 100 complete sets follow the 54 System arrangement and need correctly matched setting equipment.
A versatile gray for garment collections
Gray can bridge both light and dark textiles, sitting comfortably alongside navy twill, charcoal cotton or off-white fabric. Choosing it is primarily a colour and appearance decision; the product should not be treated as having special industrial durability or a particular stainless alloy without separate documentation. Use our plastic snap buttons collection to compare other cap colours. If your garment needs a different snap construction, browse other snap fasteners rather than selecting only by colour.

Fit the snap before committing to production
The cap, socket, stud and post each have a specific setting position. Tooling needs to match the visible plastic cap face and the 54 System mating components. Check the real fabric stack and press interface, and set a sample to assess alignment, cap scuffing and closure engagement. Similar cap diameters do not guarantee matching dies. A compatible setting die and machine are sold separately, allowing you to choose equipment for your workflow.
A matching installation option to consider is the 12.5 mm / 0.49 in plastic-cap 54 System snap setting die, sold separately. Confirm the die-to-press connection and inspect a finished gray cap for scuffs before proceeding with a full production batch.
What 100 complete sets means
Each package contains 100 plastic caps, 100 sockets, 100 studs and 100 posts, a total of 400 components for 100 finished snaps. This is not a pack of 100 individual caps. The nominal 12.5 mm (0.49 in) measurement is the cap diameter, and other snap systems or 15 mm cap parts should not be mixed into the assembly. For exact colour matching, use the physical product and intended fabric before a large run.
