The snap envied around the world. ("SX" snaps)

The YKK Snap Fasteners America "SX" 2-prong attached ring spring snap fastener system is one of the most sought after snap fasteners on the market. Developed by YKK Snap Fasteners America, the "SX" snap incorporates a 2-prong fastener similar to the one used in the assembly of YKK Snap Fasteners America's buttons and burrs.

The "SX" system requires no pre-punching before attachment and ensures a secure attachment on the widest range of fabrics and garment styles. Components will not rotate or button hole through properly assembled applications. As an added feature, because of the fastener style and attachment process, the assembled components offer a near water tight attachment on specific applications.
