Snaps are a professional fastening system; they replace the need for hook & loop closures on nappies. They also come in handy for a zillion other things around the home, from clothing to duvet covers to handtowels to sleeping bags...
SNAP PRESS & DIE SETS are required to attach these professional grade Polycetal Resin Snaps.
Size 14 Snaps are more of a specialty item for the ultimate discretionary sized snap. Size 14’s are very rare in usage and are the smallest size produced & available to us. Size 14 Caps measure 9.74mm diameter.
FULL SNAP SETS - Our 100 full sets contain 100 sockets, 100 studs, and 200 caps (400 total pieces). A full set is enough to apply 100 complete sets of snaps.
SOCKET & CAP SETS - Our 100 socket & cap sets contain 100 sockets, 100 caps (200 total pieces), enough to apply 100 socket (female) snaps only.
***PART DEFINITIONS***
CAP - the cap is the most visible part of a snap, which is the dome that is visible on the outside of the garment. You need one cap per socket or stud. Some people sometimes mix cap colours with the socket or stud they are applying for required visual effects.
SOCKET - is the female part of the snap that joins together with the male – you need one cap to apply one socket to a garment.
STUD - is the male part of the snap that joins together with the socket – you need one cap to apply one stud to a garment.
3-1 RATIO - most people use 3 sockets to 1 stud when making MCN’s, giving a 3-1 ratio - HOWEVER most using size 14 sized snaps often use for applications needing a 1-1 ratio, so a 3-1 ratio is not necessarily as applicable for size 14 snaps. Socket & Cap sets are available because you usually use more sockets than studs on nappies. To buy a 3-1 ratio, you need to buy 1 full set, and 2 socket & cap sets. Most people start out buying full sets, and topping up their socket and caps later on which is more so what people buying size 14 snaps do.
