THE SERVICE
We offer a press-studding service, where we supply and machine apply the studs, also known as snaps and poppers. There are three styles available:
- standard metal press studs -one size, approximately 14mm, in a variety of finishes.
- ring (prong) press studs – one size, approximately 10mm, and only suitable for lightweight fabrics (Limited stock – call us to check this service availability)
At this time we are NOT able to apply custom press studs, only our own components.
We can potentially offer a replacement/repair press-stud service using our own components, depending on the original stud and garment, an assessment of the garment/item will be needed to assess viability. Please note that we cannot re-use studs and a match is unlikely.
HIGH-RISK GARMENTS – we do not press-stud PVC/plastic finishes, lightweight fabrics, knit, netting, lace, unstabilised jersey or other stretch fabrics. We may not press-stud leather, pleather, wadded or brocade.
The finishes vary depending on our current stock. Please enquire directly or pop into the workrooms to see our current selection.
PREPARATION
Bring your garments and/or fabric marked correctly. You need to mark a dot, with chalk or pencil, where the two parts will press together.
NO PINS
- male component (the bottom/underneath part) = mark on the FACE SIDE (outside)
- female component (the top/surface seen part) = mark on the WRONG SIDE (inside)
“Make sure the two dots meet, or your press studs may not be even”
COST
Press Studs are priced per unit, meaning: garment/ panel / pattern piece at a minimum charge, up to the quantity of 10 press studs. More than 10 press studs on the unit (garment/ panel / pattern piece) will be the minimum charge plus price per additional press stud.
- standard press stud – minimum charge per unit = £7.50 / 10+studs per unit = £0.50 per stud. For example, a garment/panel with 12 press studs will be £8.50
- ring (prong) press stud – minimum charge per unit = £7.50 / 10+studs per unit = £0.50 per stud. For example, a garment/panel with 12 ring prong studs will be £8.50
- pearlised center press stud – minimum charge per unit = £10.00 / 10+studs per unit = £1.00 per stud. For example, a garment/panel with 12 pearlised center studs will be £12.00
- press-stud replacement – minimum charge per unit = £10.00
NOTES
We do not provide or send out samples of our press studs. Sampling will be completed at the above unit rates.
Fabric covered studs can only be applied by using the compatible machine and dye set.
