FAQs
What tools are needed to apply these snap fasteners?
You will need either the Prym VARIO Pliers for non-sew products or the specific "Color Snaps" tool set designed for these fasteners.
Can these snaps be used on delicate fabrics?
While they are suitable for children's clothing and general garments, extremely delicate fabrics might require a stabilizer or careful application to prevent damage. Test on a scrap piece first.
Are these snaps safe for baby clothes?
Yes, they are Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 Class 1 certified, making them safe for use in baby and children's clothing.
How many snaps are in one pack?
Each pack contains 30 snap fasteners.
What is the diameter of these snap fasteners?
The diameter of these snap fasteners is 1.24 cm.
Can I iron garments with these snaps attached?
It is recommended to iron from the reverse side of the fabric, avoiding direct high heat on the plastic snaps themselves to prevent damage.
Do these snaps rust?
No, they are made of plastic and are rust-proof.
Troubleshooting
Snaps are difficult to apply.
Ensure you are using the correct Prym tool (Vario Pliers or Color Snaps tool set) and that the fastener components are correctly aligned within the tool dies. Check that the fabric is not too thick or too thin for the application.
Snaps do not close securely.
Verify that the snap components are correctly paired and fully engaged during application. Check for any debris obstructing the snap mechanism. Ensure the fabric is adequately stabilized.
Fasteners broke during application.
This may indicate excessive force was used or the fabric was too stiff. Try applying slightly less pressure or using a thinner fabric. Ensure the tool is functioning correctly.
Snaps appear loose after washing.
While designed to be durable, ensure the initial application was secure. If a snap repeatedly loosens, consider reinforcing the fabric area before reapplying a new snap, or use a fabric stabilizer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Applying the Prym 393001 snap fasteners requires specific tools. You will need either the Prym VARIO Pliers for non-sew products or a dedicated "Color Snaps" tool set. Follow the instructions provided with your chosen tool. Generally, this involves placing the fastener parts on the tool, positioning the fabric, and applying pressure to secure the snap.
