Why Use an 18mm Magnetic Snap Fastener?

A magnetic snap fastener provides a convenient closure that does not require the precise manual alignment associated with conventional press studs or buttons. As the two magnetic components are brought close together, magnetic attraction helps guide them into position.

The 18mm size provides a useful balance between holding performance and a discreet appearance, making it suitable for many bags, wallets, garments and accessories. Once installed, the magnetic closure can be repeatedly opened and closed, making it ideal for products that require frequent access.

Magnetic snaps can also help create a cleaner finished appearance because the closure can be positioned discreetly within or behind the surrounding material, depending on the design and installation method.

Please Note

The effectiveness of a magnetic snap closure can vary depending on the thickness and type of material positioned between or around the magnetic components. Thick fabric, leather, padding or other materials may reduce magnetic attraction.

Ensure the fastener is securely installed and appropriately supported for the material and intended application. For thin or delicate fabrics, additional reinforcement may be required around the mounting area to help prevent tearing or distortion during repeated use.

Magnetic fasteners are intended as convenient closures and may not be suitable for applications requiring a safety-rated, load-bearing or locking fastener.

Keep magnetic components away from young children and sensitive electronic or medical devices that may be affected by magnetic fields.
