A Bluish Gray Fastening Detail for Special-Order Projects
A muted gray with a touch of blue can be a thoughtful trim color on slate shirts, navy fabric accessories and garments with cool-colored printing. This snap button has a visible 12.5 mm (0.49 in) bluish gray plastic cap, plus the three metal mating parts needed for closure. The socket, stud and post have a free nickel-colored finish. These components belong to the 54 System S-spring family and should be installed with properly matched tooling.
Made exclusively to order
The bluish gray version is produced only after a special order and is not supplied from ready stock. The minimum order is 1,000 complete snap sets. Each standard pack contains 100 complete four-piece snaps, so a qualifying order represents at least ten packs. Check the target shade, manufacturing lead time and order details before proceeding. A 100-set package description does not reduce the 1,000-set production minimum.
Find the color that suits your collection
Next to charcoal, bluish gray can remain subtle; against ivory or white cloth, the cap becomes a modest cool accent. Compare the material and cap sample together rather than relying on monitor color. Browse other stocked or orderable shades in our plastic snap buttons range, and explore other snap fastener systems when the garment requires a different fastening method.
Pack contents and measurements
One snap set consists of a bluish gray plastic cap, metal socket, metal stud and metal post. Each 100-set package therefore contains 400 components: 100 of every part. The 12.5 mm (0.49 in), nominal 20-ligne measurement refers to the cap. The corresponding lower components are 54 System, not interchangeable with unrelated snap mechanisms.
Fit the snap carefully
For tool selection the product record references the KLP00125PL54 plastic-cap 54 System die family. The setting die and press are not included in the snaps. Confirm machine compatibility and fit on the actual cloth before a production run. Examine the cap for surface marks, check whether the fabric pulls around the fastening point and test several opening-and-closing cycles on the set sample.
