Product Information
Full details
The Prym Jersey Ring Snaps are designed for crafters working with thinner and stretch fabrics, particularly for baby and children's clothing. Their key benefit is the non-sew application, featuring a serrated ring that secures the fabric without needing a pre-punched hole, protecting the material. A minor caveat is that while versatile, specific sizes may require particular tools for application.

FAQs
What types of fabric are these snaps best for?
They are specifically designed for thinner and stretch fabrics, such as jersey, which are commonly used in baby and children's clothing.
Do I need to punch a hole in the fabric before applying?
No, a key feature is the non-sew application. The integrated serrated ring presses into the fabric to secure the snap without needing a pre-punched hole.
Can these snaps be washed and ironed?
Yes, the brass snaps are rustproof and designed to withstand washing (up to 60°C), spinning, chemical cleaning, and ironing.
What tools are needed for application?
The 8mm size might be applied with the included tool or manual pressure. For 10mm and 12mm sizes, Prym VARIO pliers or the Prym tripod are recommended.
Are these snaps suitable for heavy-duty clothing?
They are best suited for lighter apparel and stretch fabrics. For very heavy or thick materials, a different type of fastener might provide a more secure hold.
What is the fastening strength of these snaps?
They offer an easy to medium fastening strength, making them ideal for garments where a secure but not overly tight closure is needed.
How many snaps are in a pack?
This specific product listing indicates a quantity of 10 pieces per pack, sold in a blister package.
Troubleshooting
Snaps do not fasten securely
Ensure you are using the correct application tool for the snap size and that even pressure is applied. Check that the fabric is not too thick for the snap.
Fabric is damaged during application
Verify that the serrated ring is correctly positioned and pressing into the fabric, not tearing it. Apply pressure more carefully and ensure the tool is aligned properly.
Snaps are difficult to open after application
This can sometimes happen with initial use. Try opening and closing the snap a few times to loosen it slightly. Ensure the correct strength snap was chosen for the fabric weight.
Rust or discoloration appears on the snaps
While made of brass and rustproof, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme conditions could potentially affect them. Ensure proper care and cleaning methods are followed.
