Black Plastic Cap Snaps with Dark Metal Parts, 12.5 mm (0.49 in), 100 Sets ERC00125PLBlack
For a bag flap or jacket placket where both sides of a fastening can be seen, dark lower hardware can matter as much as a black top cap. These 12.5 mm (0.49 in) snap buttons have a black plastic face and black oxide-colored metal sockets, studs and posts, creating a four-part 54 System closure. They can be assessed for coats, fabric bags, pouches and utility textile accessories. The components are not all plastic, and a matching die is required to assemble them correctly.
Consider the visible back of the snap
On black canvas and charcoal twill, dark metal parts may blend better than bright nickel-coloured pieces when a lining or flap exposes the reverse side. For a garment with a light contrasting lining, the same dark parts can become part of the design. Dark metal finish and plastic may reflect light differently, so expect a subtle difference in shade and compare physical samples for projects requiring a precise finish.
Explore other cap colours among our plastic snap buttons. If your project instead calls for a different closure geometry, compare choices in the main snap fasteners category. A similar nominal size does not mean one snap system can replace another.

100 complete assemblies: what's in the pack?
The pack supplies 100 black plastic caps, 100 dark-finish metal sockets, 100 studs and 100 posts. That's 400 individual components to create 100 complete snap closures. The cap has a visible diameter of 12.5 mm (0.49 in), nominal 20 ligne. The mating components belong to the 54 System / 12 mm lower-part family. This dark-finish option is distinct from the black-cap snap supplied with silver/nickel-coloured metal pieces.
Purchase the matched setting equipment separately
The listed related die family is KLP00125PL54 for plastic-cap 54 System snaps. Confirm that the cap seat supports the visible plastic surface and the matching lower tooling fits the exact socket, stud and post being installed. Dies, handheld setting tools and presses are not included with the 100 sets. Trial-set several snaps in your production material and inspect the cap for scuffs, the fabric for puckering and the assembled closure for alignment and opening feel. Do not assume any specific tested wash or corrosion performance without documentation.
For this black-cap snap with dark metal components, see the separately sold 12.5 mm / 0.49 in plastic-cap 54 System setting die. Confirm the cap seat and press connection on a test sample before production.
