From studios and workshops

This is how snap fasteners, jeans buttons and eyelets are processed in the studio and workshop.

A denim dress takes shape – eyelets being set on the hand screw press

A denim dress takes shape – with eyelets, snap fasteners and jeans buttons

In the fashion studio, a patchwork dress is made from denim. The straps, waistband and belt receive their fastenings directly on the hand screw press: brass eyelets on the straps, jeans buttons on the waistband and eyelets on the belt – cleanly set, without any sewing.

  • Brass eyelets on the straps
  • Jeans buttons and snap fasteners on waistband and belt
  • Change the tool set, next fastening – no need to change machines
Setting eyelets in fabric – in a sheltered workshop

Setting eyelets in fabric – in a sheltered workshop

In a workshop for people with disabilities, fabric bands and bags are fitted with brass eyelets. The pneumatic T12 is activated by foot pedal – both hands guide the fabric, and every eyelet sits cleanly and evenly.

  • Simple, safe operation by foot pedal
  • Consistent quality, even in large quantities
  • Flexible use for different staff members and jobs

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Which machine is right for me?

The T12 pneumatic machine is suited to small batches with pedal operation. The toggle press also handles large eyelets up to 40 mm by hand. The Mod. 4 AF hand screw press is ideal for frequent use, the compact Mod. 3 for eyelets up to 12 mm.

Which eyelet sizes can I process?
  • T12 pneumatic machine: recommended up to and including 15 mm inside diameter
  • Toggle press: 3,5 – 40 mm inside diameter
  • Mod. 4 AF hand screw press: recommended up to and including 15 mm inside diameter
  • Mod. 3 hand screw press: suitable up to 12 mm inside diameter
Which snap fasteners are suitable for jersey?

For knitted fabrics such as jersey, we recommend snap fasteners with a prong ring, e.g. Jersey Elegant. The prongs grip into the fabric without damaging it. The matching assortment is 599E.

How long does delivery take?

Stock items are generally delivered within 1–3 working days.

For special products and custom versions, the delivery time is usually around 2–4 weeks.

Can I set different fastenings with one press?

Yes. With the right tool set, you can process snap fasteners, jeans buttons, eyelets and rivets on the same press – simply change the tool and carry on working.

Are there sets with a press and tools?

Yes. Our basic assortments contain a hand screw press, snap fasteners, eyelets and the matching tools – and you can extend them as needed with the supplementary assortments. Find out more under Complete sets.

Can I order snap fasteners with my own logo?

Yes. We produce snap fasteners, eyelets, rivets and trouser buttons in your colour, printed or embossed with your logo. Find out more under Custom solutions.

Are there sew-on snap fasteners?

Yes. Our sew-on snap fasteners in sizes 1 to 7 are sewn on with needle and thread – without any tool or machine. Large, sturdy versions are suitable for coats, small sizes for fine fabrics such as cashmere and wool.

Find out more under Sew-on snap fasteners.

Which eyelets are suitable for corsets and lacing?

For lace-up closures we recommend B-eyelets, which are always set with a matching washer. The large eyelet assortment 599F contains silver eyelets with washers in 10, 12 and 15 mm including tools – ideal for corsets, lacing and belts.

Find out more under B-eyelets.

How is the hand screw press attached to the table?

The hand screw press Mod. 4 AF comes with a mounting set: the press is screwed onto the wooden board and fixed to the table with two screw clamps – stable, secure and removable at any time.

Find out more under Hand screw presses.

Are there instructions for setting the fasteners?

Yes. Under Service & know-how you will find instructions as PDFs – for example on riveting the snap fasteners Star 4, Super 2 and Elegant 3, on setting eyelets with ring and a step-by-step guide to the basic assortment 599A.
