5/8″ Nickel on Steel Snap Fasteners
Livedale 5/8″ nickel-on-steel snap fastener components provide a practical reusable fastening for upholstery, furniture trimming, loose covers, fabric, leather and vinyl applications.
The nickel finish provides a clean, bright metal appearance, making these upholstery press studs suitable where the fastener is visible as part of the finished trim.
Choose the individual component required — Cap, Eyelet, Socket or Stud — with each selected component supplied separately in a bag of 100.
Nickel Press Studs for Upholstery and Trimming
Press studs, also commonly known as snap fasteners or snap buttons, provide a secure fixing that can be repeatedly opened and closed.
Typical applications include:
- Removable upholstery panels
- Loose furniture covers
- Cushion and seating details
- Fabric panels
- Leather straps and tabs
- Vinyl trimming
- Automotive and caravan trim
- Furniture repair
- General workshop fastening
For applications where a darker fastening is preferred, see the 5/8″ Black on Steel Snap Fasteners.
Cap, Eyelet, Socket and Stud Components
This product allows the individual press stud component required for the job to be selected.
Cap
The visible outer component used as part of the snap fastener assembly.
Eyelet
An individual fixing component used as part of the complete press stud assembly.
Socket
The female part of the snap fastener, designed to engage with the matching stud.
Stud
The male component which connects with the socket to create the reusable fastening.
Because each component is available separately in bags of 100, professional upholsterers and trimming workshops can replenish the individual parts they use most frequently.
5/8″ Snap Fasteners for Fabric, Leather and Vinyl
These nickel press studs are suitable for a wide range of upholstery and trimming work involving fabric, leather and vinyl.
They are particularly useful where a secure fastening is required but the material or panel still needs to be removable.
Common uses include removable covers, access panels, upholstery flaps, trim sections, straps and other applications where a reusable snap fastener fixing is preferable to a permanent fixing.
Fitting Nickel Snap Fasteners with the TEP-2 Press
For regular workshop installation, these snap fastener components can be fitted using the TEP-2 Press with the appropriate 4 Piece Press Stud Die Set.
Using dedicated press stud setting equipment helps:
- Keep the snap fastener components aligned
- Apply pressure more consistently
- Produce a cleaner finished fastening
- Reduce the risk of distorted components
- Improve repeatability across production work
The TEP-2 is a versatile hand press that can also accept other interchangeable dies for button and rivet work.
Manual Snap Fastener Setting
For workshops preferring a manual fitting method, Livedale also supplies the Osborne 230 Manual Snap Setter Tool.
This professional snap setting tool includes a flaring tool, stability vice and two-piece die, providing another option for fitting snap fasteners without using the TEP-2 press.
Nickel Snap Fasteners for Professional Upholstery
The bright nickel-on-steel finish makes these upholstery snap fasteners suitable where a clean metallic appearance complements the fabric, leather or vinyl being used.
They are suitable for:
- Professional upholsterers
- Furniture manufacturers
- Furniture repair workshops
- Automotive trimmers
- Caravan and motorhome trimmers
- Marine-style cover work
- Leather and vinyl workshops
- General upholstery repairs
