Long-Prong Snap Information

What's the Secret to Snapping Success?

It's the long-prongs on our snaps!

We are offering the remaining Snap Source® snaps a selection of colorful metal snap fasteners. All the snaps are industrial quality and feature long-prongs which provide a better "grip" onto fabric, allowing snaps to remain securely in place, wash after wash!

Snaps come packaged in sets or parts:

One 4-part snap set includes: a fashion-colored Snap Top (ring, cap or pearl) and three backing parts (Socket, Stud and Back Ring). Purchase complete sets or just the parts of a snap set required for a project. Single or Double Color options are available. All packages include instructions for successful snapping.
