5/8″ Black on Steel Snap Fasteners
Livedale 5/8″ black on steel snap fastener components provide a practical mechanical fastening for upholstery, trimming, loose covers, fabric, leather and vinyl applications.
The black finish gives the fastener a discreet appearance, making it particularly useful where bright metal fittings would be too noticeable against darker materials.
Choose the individual press stud component required — Cap, Eyelet, Socket or Stud — with each selected component supplied in a bag of 100.
Black Press Studs for Upholstery and Trimming
Press studs, also commonly known as snap fasteners, are used where materials need to be securely fastened while still allowing them to be opened and closed when required.
These black steel snap fastener components are suitable for applications including:
- Removable upholstery panels
- Loose furniture covers
- Cushion and seating details
- Leather tabs and straps
- Vinyl trimming
- Fabric fastening
- Furniture repair
- Vehicle and marine-style trimming
- General workshop fastening
For alternative bright-finish fasteners, see the 5/8″ Nickel on Steel Snap Fasteners.
Cap, Eyelet, Socket and Stud Components
A press stud fastening uses matching components to create the complete opening and closing mechanism.
This product allows you to select the individual component you require:
Cap
The visible outer component used as part of the snap fastener assembly.
Eyelet
Used as part of the corresponding fastening assembly where the selected application requires an eyelet fixing.
Socket
The female section of the snap fastener, designed to connect with the matching stud.
Stud
The male section of the fastening which engages with the socket.
Each selected component is supplied separately in a bag of 100, making it easy for professional workshops to replace or replenish the individual press stud parts they use most frequently.
5/8″ Snap Fasteners for Fabric, Leather and Vinyl
These black press stud components can be used across a range of upholstery and trimming materials including fabric, leather and vinyl.
They provide a useful solution where stitching alone is unsuitable or where the finished item needs a fastening that can be repeatedly opened and closed.
Typical uses include removable panels, covers, access sections, straps and other trim components where a practical snap button fastening is required.
Fitting Black Snap Fasteners with a TEP-2 Press
For regular workshop fitting, press studs can be installed using the TEP-2 Press together with the appropriate 4 Piece Press Stud Die Set.
Using dedicated press stud setting equipment helps:
- Keep the fastener components correctly aligned
- Apply pressure consistently
- Produce a cleaner finished fixing
- Reduce the risk of distorted fittings
- Improve repeatability across larger jobs
For manual fitting work, Livedale also supplies the Osborne 230 Manual Snap Setter Tool.
Preparing Holes for Press Stud Fasteners
Where the material requires a prepared hole before the fastener is installed, a clean, accurately sized opening helps prevent unnecessary damage to fabric, leather or vinyl.
The C.S. Osborne No.223 Revolving Punch Pliers provide a choice of punch tube sizes and are useful for leather, trimming and general workshop preparation.
Always select the appropriate hole size and fitting method for the particular material and fastener component being used.
Black Snap Fasteners for Professional Upholstery Work
The black-on-steel finish makes these upholstery press studs particularly useful where the fixing needs to blend with dark fabrics, leather, vinyl or trim rather than stand out as a bright metal detail.
They are suitable for professional upholsterers, furniture repairers, trimmers, soft furnishers and workshop users carrying out both repair and production work.
