The term 'snap' is an onomatopoeia, a 50-cent word meaning the name sounds like what the object does - and these snap fasteners do! First developed in the late 1800's as a novelty fastener, they became popular as an easier-functioning alternative to buttons. That makes them a good choice for infant & children's clothing or for anyone with limited hand-strength/dexterity. Plus, they add functional & fun character to all sorts of clothing, bags and accessories. Our snaps are of excellent quality & high-durability that hold up well through machine-washings. Attach to article using punch & die (aka mandrel & anvil) or our specialty snap pliers (available separately).
