18mm Short Prong Magnetic Snaps for Thin Materials
18mm thick short-prong magnetic snap with anti-rotation teeth and a rack-plated finish.
Richarms short prong magnetic snaps are designed for thin leather, fabric, coated paper, covered boxes and other applications where standard prongs may be longer than necessary.
The 18mm version uses a 7.1mm short-prong design. After installation, the shorter prongs can form a lower-profile connection and help reduce prong overlap or visible bulging on thin materials.
As a magnetic snap manufacturer, Richarms can adjust the finish, magnetic holding force, packaging and logo according to your product and target market.
Why Choose Short Prong Magnetic Snaps?
Lower-Profile Installation
On thin material, standard prongs may overlap excessively after they are bent inward. This can create a thicker installation area or cause the covered surface to bulge.
Short prongs require less bending space and can provide a flatter, cleaner installation when matched with a suitable material thickness.
Suitable for Thin Materials
Typical applications include:
- Thin leather and synthetic leather
- Fabric handbags and wallets
- Fabric-covered gift boxes
- Pencil cases and stationery products
- Lightweight packaging and presentation boxes
- DIY bags and small leather goods
Reliable Magnetic Closure
The snap uses a brass shell, steel backing components and an NdFeB magnet. Different magnetic holding-force options can be supplied according to the opening feel, product structure and material strength required by the customer.
Short, Standard, Long and Offset Prongs
The correct prong style depends on the total material thickness, reinforcement layers, washer configuration and desired bending direction.
| Prong Style | Typical Application | Installation Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Short Prongs | Thin leather, fabric and covered boxes | Helps reduce overlap and surface bulging |
| Standard Prongs | Common bag and packaging materials | Suitable for general material thicknesses |
| Long Prongs | Thick, laminated or multi-layer materials | Provides additional length through thick assemblies |
| Offset Prongs | Special installation layouts | Allows an alternative prong position or bending arrangement |
For thicker materials, see our Long Prong Magnetic Snaps. For the classic round version, see our Round Magnetic Snaps.
omparison of four magnetic snap prong styles and two installation bending methods.
Inward Bend and Outward Bend Installation
Magnetic snap prongs may be bent inward or outward depending on the material, washer, available installation area and required surface profile.
Inward Bend
An inward bend keeps the prongs within the washer area. Short prongs are particularly useful when an inward bend is required on thin material because they can reduce excessive overlap.
Outward Bend
An outward bend distributes the prongs toward the outer edges. This method requires sufficient installation space and should be tested with the actual material and reinforcement structure.
We recommend sample testing before mass production because material compression and reinforcement layers can affect the final fit.

Sıkça Sorulan Sorular
What materials are short prong magnetic snaps suitable for?
They are mainly intended for thin leather, synthetic leather, fabric, covered boxes and lightweight layered materials. Sample testing is recommended for every new material combination.
What is the prong length?
The displayed short-prong version has a prong length of approximately 7.1mm.
What is the difference between short and standard prongs?
Short prongs require less bending space and can help reduce overlapping or bulging on thin materials. Standard prongs are suitable for more common material thicknesses.
Can Richarms customize the magnetic strength?
Yes. Different magnetic configurations can be selected according to the required opening feel, application and material strength.
Can the color and logo be customized?
Yes. Richarms supports custom plating, painted colors, laser marking, deep laser marking and tooling logos, subject to the design and order quantity.
