What is a Stainless Steel 61 Snap Cap?
Stainless Steel 61 Snap Cover is the uppermost and most visible part of a snap (snap button) system with specific features used in the textile and apparel industry.
The stainless 61 snap closure is the ultimate component of highly durable metal snap systems, particularly used on thick and heavy fabrics. In addition to providing an aesthetic appearance, it is a key component of a strong and reliable closure mechanism.

1. 61 System (Structure and Durability)
The term "61 system" refers to a specific model or standard within the snap fastener group. This system is known for its robust construction and easy opening and closing.

It is widely preferred for products made of thick and heavy fabrics such as coats, jackets, jean jackets, raincoats, bags, tents, and tarpaulins.

It plays an important role in outerwear and technical textiles because it provides high strength and reliable closure.

It typically consists of four main parts:

Cover (top part)

Female part

Male part

Leg (clawed or spiked lower part)

2. Cover (Function and Aesthetics)
The cover is the visible upper part of the snap fastener system and gives the product a clean, aesthetic appearance.

It provides a professional finish by concealing the locking mechanism underneath.

Manufacturers can add a unique design to the product by engraving a logo, brand name, or special pattern on this surface.

3. Stainless Material (Durability and Protection)
The term "stainless" indicates that the cover, and often the entire snap fastener set, is made of corrosion-resistant materials such as brass or stainless steel.

This makes the snap fastener:

Resistant to external factors such as moisture, weather conditions, and frequent washing.

It does not rust, tarnish, or stain fabric.

These features are especially important in areas requiring longevity and hygiene, such as baby clothing products, marine equipment and outdoor accessories.
