Couldn't load pickup availability
This T5 plastic snap die set fits a hand press and sets size 20 plastic resin snaps with a 12.4mm cap. Use it for baby clothes, cloth diapers and bibs.
It has 4 steel pieces: 2 bottom dies that hold the snap caps and 2 cushioned top dies that press the socket or the stud onto the cap prong. One pair sets the socket half, the other the stud half.
Best Uses
- Cloth diapers and diaper covers: plastic snaps don't rust in the wash.
- Baby bodysuits, bibs and burp cloths: plastic snaps have no metal to touch the skin.
- Rain ponchos, wet bags and snack bags: a 12.4mm snap closes an opening without a zipper.
- Kids' pajamas and smocks, where a snap is quicker than a button.
Not For
Leather, 12 oz canvas or heavy denim seams: the cap prong is too short for thick layers. Use our 12.5mm or 15mm metal snap die sets there.
