Coin Type Snap Buttons and Flat Snap Fasteners

Coin Type Snap Buttons and Flat Snap Fasteners

Coin type snap buttons, also known as flat snap fasteners or money type snaps, are snap button models with a flatter and more minimal visible cap. They are used in garments, shirts, bodysuits, jackets, bags, home textiles, leather goods, children’s clothing, craft projects and accessory applications. Compared with domed snap buttons, coin type snaps create a cleaner and more understated closure detail.

The E-Buttons coin type snap buttons category is created for garment manufacturers, shirt and bodysuit producers, bag makers, leather workshops, home textile suppliers, craft sellers and textile accessory buyers. Depending on the product model, buyers may compare 54 System coin type snaps, magnetic coin type snaps, plastic cap models, zamak cap options and double cap snap fasteners.

What Are Coin Type Snap Buttons?

A coin type snap button is a snap fastener with a flatter cap shape that resembles a coin-like surface. This cap form is preferred when the finished product needs a practical closure without a bulky or highly raised look. Coin type snap buttons are suitable for projects where a clean, simple and lower-profile cap appearance is required.

Cap shape alone is not enough for selection. Snap size, working system, cap material, bottom 3 parts material, application surface thickness and setting die compatibility should be checked together. Two flat snap buttons with a similar diameter may have different materials, different systems or different application requirements.

Types of Coin Type Snap Buttons

How to Choose Coin Type Snap Size

Size affects both the visual balance and the application area of a coin type snap button. 12.5 mm / 0.49 in and 15 mm / 0.59 in sizes are practical choices for shirts, bodysuits, garments, bags and home textiles. Larger sizes such as 17 mm / 0.67 in, 18 mm / 0.71 in and 20 mm / 0.79 in can be evaluated for jackets, coats, bags, leather goods and more visible closure points.

Coin Type Snap Buttons vs. Domed Snap Buttons

The main difference between coin type snap buttons and domed snap buttons is the visible cap form. Coin type snaps have a flatter, simpler and lower-profile cap. Domed snap buttons have a more raised and rounded cap. Both product groups should be selected according to size, material, working system, surface thickness and application method.

Material and Finish Selection

Coin type snap buttons may be available with brass, zamak or plastic cap structures depending on the product model. Some models may have a different visible cap material and different bottom 3 parts material. Before ordering, material type, cap structure, bottom parts, working system and package content should be checked on the individual product page.

Finish colours may include free nickel, black nickel, gold, antique brass, gun metal, black, white, antique silver and other options depending on the product. Gold and antique brass finishes can create a classic appearance on leather goods and bags. Free nickel, black nickel, gun metal and antique silver finishes can be suitable for cleaner, darker or more technical garment designs.

Plastic Cap and Metal Bottom Part Coin Type Snaps

Some coin type snap models may have a plastic visible cap while the bottom connection parts may be brass, stainless steel, iron or sheet metal depending on the product model. Therefore, plastic cap coin type snap buttons should not automatically be considered fully plastic snap fasteners. The top cap material and bottom 3 parts material should be checked separately.

Setting Die and Application Tool Compatibility

Coin type snap buttons should be installed with a setting die that matches the product size, working system and cap form. 54 System, magnetic, plastic cap, zamak and double cap snap fasteners should not be treated as one universal application system. The cap, socket, stud and bottom parts must align correctly during installation.

For compatible molds and dies, check the snap fastener assembly tools and dies category. For higher production quantities, workshop use or more consistent application, setting tools and machines can also be evaluated depending on the snap model and application method.
