Soft Neutral Snap Caps for Clothing Collections
A light beige snap cap can complement ecru, cream and warm neutral fabrics where a shiny metal cap would be too noticeable. This four-piece snap is part of the 54-system spring family and is intended for evaluation on suitable garments, bags or other textile closures. The cap's color is a visual choice; the metal components behind it provide the mating snap action. The finished garment's substrate and required closing force should be checked by sampling.
Separating the Plastic Cap From the Metal Mechanism
The visible top cap is plastic, whereas the socket, stud and post are metal components with a nickel-colored appearance. The term 'plastic cap' should not be confused with an all-plastic snap button. The lower metal alloy has conflicting labels in older catalog information and should not be described as verified stainless steel without a separate material confirmation. For a collection requiring a certified alloy, request that specification rather than assuming it from the metal finish.
Count Complete Sets, Not Loose Components
One package contains 100 caps, 100 sockets, 100 studs and 100 posts. That is 400 individual pieces that assemble into 100 four-part closures. These quantities are useful when planning a production line because every closure position requires the matching parts. Presses, setting dies and piercing tools are not part of this product's package.
Size Matters: 12.5 mm (0.49 in) Cap
The catalog records a 12.5 mm (0.49 in) plastic cap, about 20 ligne. Its light beige finish and nominal diameter identify this particular snap set. The cap diameter is not an instruction to cut a 12.5 mm hole in the fabric. Whether any pre-punching is needed depends on post geometry, layers and tooling and should be checked on an actual sample.
Matching the 54-System Plastic-Cap Setting Tool
The identified die family for this product is KLP00125PL54, used for 12.5 mm (0.49 in) plastic-cap 54-system components. The cap-supporting die needs the correct seat so that the surface is not damaged under press pressure. A die intended only for an all-plastic snap or a differently shaped metal cap should not be substituted without checking its geometry. Confirm the hand press or impact press fitting separately.
Installation and Quality-Control Routine
Place the socket, stud, post and cap on the intended sides of a real garment fabric sample. Set them with the matching tool, then examine the visible cap for cracks or indentation, the metal elements for full engagement and the fabric for puckering. Check opening and closing after repeated handling. If the garment will be used by children, evaluate relevant small-parts and attachment-security requirements; no particular certification is verified for this listing.
Availability and Repeat Manufacturing
This particular older catalog entry currently records zero stock. Another listing sharing the same model name is not the same purchasable record and its available quantity must not be silently substituted. Check the live page before placing an order. For custom cap colors or a larger run, present a physical sample, planned set quantity and the actual garment construction so the correct component can be discussed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many complete snaps are in one pack?
100 four-part assemblies, made of 400 individual components.
What is the visible cap color?
Light beige. For critical fabric-color matching, compare a real cap sample with the cloth.
What is the cap diameter?
12.5 mm (0.49 in), approximately 20 ligne.
Are the lower components plastic?
No. The socket, stud and post are nickel-colored metal.
Are those pieces certified stainless steel?
The exact alloy is not consistently verified for this older listing.
Which die is associated with this product?
The KLP00125PL54 54-system plastic-cap setting die; press compatibility needs a sample check.
Does the pack include a press?
No. Only the fastener components are included.
Can I pre-punch a hole equal to cap size?
No. The cap diameter is not the required hole diameter; preparation depends on post and substrate.
