I.) PURPOSE OF GUIDE
The purpose of the Snap Standard Operation Procedures is to ensure that all snaps
are securely attached on the seam and to verify each snap attachment machine is
correctly adjusted as per snap fastener data sheet.
The Guide also consists of the following sections:

a) Snap Standard Operation Procedures
b) Statistical Process Control Charts
c) Snap Fastener Data Sheet & Terminology

SA - 1
II.) Snap Fasteners

All light duty snaps must be applied using only the snap suppliers recommended,
Brand-compatible attaching dies using a semi or fully automated pneumatic or
electric press. No manually operated hand, foot or flywheel presses may be used to
apply light duty snaps to any Gap Inc. merchandise. Garment manufacturers are
required to contact the snap suppliers’ application laboratories for assistance in
selecting the appropriate snap components (prong lengths) for each new application.
Purchasing of 12-18 ligne (light duty) snaps for infant garments is currently
restricted to the following preferred suppliers (see contact list at end of this section):
Prym International
Schaeffer Fasteners
Scovill
Stocko
Universal Fasteners
While these are suggested suppliers, the vendor is still responsible for ensuring that
the products actually supplied by these suppliers meet all Gap Inc. performance
requirements.
All light duty snaps meet the following minimum physical performance
requirements:
Minimum Maximum
Snapping Force 2 pounds 8 pounds
Unsnapping Force 2 pounds 8 pounds
Later Holding Force 2 pounds 8 pounds
Medium and heavy duties snaps range from 20 – 24 ligne and are available in
parallel-spring (post) and ring-spring (prong) configurations. Medium and heavy
duty snaps, rivets, burrs and shank-type buttons must applied using electric or
Pneumatically assisted presses fitted with cycle control cams and variable die
clearance adjustment. Typical application of medium and heavy duty snaps include,
but are not limited to, outwear, pant waist closures and luggage.

SA - 3
2) SOP B002 - Snap Application Guidelines (cont.)
* Production Daily Assessment

• Monitor foundation thickness;
• Verify machine pinch setting (5 readings) twice per eight hour shift;
• Verify snap attachment strength (5 readings) twice per eight hour shift;
• Record and plot results per machine
• Review and analyze data
3) SOP B003 - Field Auditing Procedures
* Scope
• Light duty snaps (16 ligne or below), e.g., Gripper, Snapet, Knipper
* Interim Auditing
• Samples drawn at random by auditor (Mil Std 105E S-2 Sampling
Plan)
• Garment maker submits samples to local laboratory
• Lab evaluates pinch setting and attachment strength
• Results faxed within 24 hours of receipt
* Failure Analysis
• One sample <17 lbs., but >15 lbs., draw additional samples
• One or more samples < 15 lbs., stop production contact snap supplier
for technical support forward samples of defective garments to snap
supplier.
* General Auditing Guidelines

Construction review :
• Snap placement - (parallel surface, not over seams)

• Snap function - open/closure pressure (open the snaps with force)
• (snaps should press together easily).
• Snap seating - (no space between material and component)
• Snap opening test - is a manual assessment of the snap function

SA - 4
3) SOP B003 – Field Auditing Procedures (cont)
Snap Opening and Snap Closing Test
• Simulates customer use, open and close garment with force

• Garment makers : 100% audit
• Field auditors : all garments audited
* 100% check for exposed prongs, rough surfaces

* Any snap deficiencies detected during the auditing process are
considered as critical defects resulting in shipment rejection
4) SOP B004 - Statistical Process Control Charts
4a) Procedures
* Pre-production
• Apply 50 snaps to mock seams
• Create chart to each area of application
• Measure / record pinch setting of each snap
* Machine Pinch Setting Calculation

• Determine average
• Record highest / lowest values
• Calculate warning limits
* Production
• Ten pinch setting measurements (am / pm)
• Ten attachment measurements (am / pm)
• Determine average
• Plot results
Remarks:
• If female and male parts are ring prong socket and stud, then both sides
need to take pinch setting and attachment measurements.
• If female part is ring prong or cap prong socket, and male part is post/
stud, then only female part needs to take pinch setting and attachment
measurements. Male part just conduct attachment measurements.

SA - 5
4). Statistical Process Control Charts (cont.)
4b) Snap Attachment Strength Test (pre-procedure control)
❖ Generate By
Factory authorized staff e.g. factory QC.
❖ When
Apply strength test to each snap attachment machine when new order
starts.
❖ Why
The purpose is to verify each snap attachment machine is correctly

adjusted as per snap fastener data sheet
❖ Procedure
Please refer to Gap Snap Standard Operating Procedure Manual for

more details
4c) Snap Attachment Capacity & SOP Check (production control)
❖ Generate By
Factory authorized staff e.g. factory QC.
❖ When
Apply 100% check every two hours per machine.
❖ Why
The purpose is to ensure all snaps are security attached on the seam
without following failure
• Protruding the leg of the prong
• Snap seat on stitch line
• Snap seat on uneven foundation thickness
• No space (gap) between material and component
• Rough surface and sharp edges.

SA - 6
4c). Statistical Process Control Charts (cont)
• Procedure
• Please refer to Snap Standard Operating Procedure Manual (SOPB003)

for more details.
5) SOP B005 - Snap Fastener Data Sheet
* Souring Channel
• Complete form, submit samples to snap supplier
* Snap supplier
• Evaluates garment, determine appropriate snaps, completes form, return
to sourcing channel.
* Sourcing Channel
• Forwards form to garment maker
* Garment Maker
• Orders components
6) SOP B006 - Terminology
* Machine Pinch Setting

• The pinch setting is the overall depth of the component after the
component is applied to the garment.
* Foundation Thickness
• The foundation thickness is the measurement of the fabric / seam or area
to which the snap is to be applied.
* Digital Vernier Caliper or digital micrometer

• The pinch setting is measured by means of a digital vernier caliper or a
digital micrometer.
* Digital Constant Torque Micrometer

• The foundation thickness is measured by means of a constant torque
micrometer which contains a precise spring in its handle.

SA - 7
IV.) Snap Machine Check and Maintenance
a) Lubrication schedule
The plant technician must service the snap machine once a week
• Remove productive cover and lubricate with a drop of sewing machine
oil;
• Clean the areas not marked in red paint with a dust cloth.
Note :
Do not adjust the parts that are “marked in red paint” as they are
critical areas which will affect the performance of the machine if
handled improperly.
b) Hoppers filled to correct position

It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that hoppers are not
overfilled. The problem can be prevented by controlling the numbers of
boxes of snaps issued at any one time to an operator.
• The hopper may be filled only to below the spindle to prevent

damaging the prong legs. An overfilled hopper causes crushing of
snaps against each other which results in protruding leg after
attachment.
c) Correct die selection, alignment plates and control procedures

Prior to start of production, a technician must ensure that the proper
attachment dies are used. To prevent the wrong dies being used which
will result in unsecured snap attachment, the following procedures must be
followed :
• Dies for different snap ligne and machines must be clearly marked
and kept segregated to prevent mix-up;
• Unless an operator has been trained, only designated technicians are
allowed to change dies or have access to them.
• Operator must not be allowed to fiddle with the settings on the
machines and any setting changes must be made by the appropriate
snap suppliers’ technician.

SA - 8
IV.) Snap Machine Check and Maintenance (cont)
d) Red paint on plunger “ Do Not Adjust “
First part = upper part “marked in red paint” on plunger is used to control
pressure on attachment. Mishandling and fiddling with the setting will
result in poor snap attachment. Only authorized personnel from the snap
suppliers may make the necessary adjustment.
Second part = “ marked in red paint” on compensator unit is to control the

thinness and thickness, number of ply of fabric being used (automatic
adjustment). Only authorized personnel from the snap supplier may
make the necessary adjustment
Note : In both cases, if the areas sealed with red paint are tampered with,
the snap supplier has the right to refute all claims on poor snap attachment
from a vendor.
e) Daily machine maintenance - checking attachment machine parts

All machine parts, during cleaning and adjustment, must be checked to
ensure that no screws or parts are missing or disconnected. Worn
machine parts must be replaced immediately.
Note : All of the above steps must be strictly followed to prevent the
machine failure or break down.
Remarks: These apply to all Scovill snap attachment machines. If

found seal broken, do not use the machine, contact Scovill
representatives immediately for service.

SA - 9
V.) Snap Problems Area

a) Prong
• Make sure that the leg of the prong is not protruding.
b) Stitching (snap seat on stitch line)

• The snaps should be attached inside the stitch line. When attached over
stitches, will cause the fabric tear.
c) Thickness (foundation)
• Make sure that the snaps are not attached over two different foundation
thickness.
d) Snap felled on floor should not be used to attach on garment.

PRODUCT SAFETY HANDBOOK SA-43 2000

Saf-Q snap tester – features & working principle.
Features
! Mechanical stand
! Imada FB 30 kg scale
! Imada scale mounting plate
! Upper snap clamp, or stud clamp
! Lower fabric clamping device
! A manual lever arm
! A top flywheel handle
Principle
! Design of upper snap clamp & stud clamp to avoid damage caused to the snap
specimen during clamping.
! Design of lower fabric clamping device to avoid induced error by operator in
terms of different clamping practice of fabric; uneven fabric tension.
! Increase repeatability & reproducibility
! 17 lbs.-applied force with holding 10 seconds is designed to evaluate whether
material fatigue occurs from the snap.
! Real attachment force of snap on fabric is measured with minimized the induced
fabric tension.
Result expected
! All components are required to withstand an attachment strength of 17 lbs. for 10

seconds
! A pass is defined as all components withstanding 17 lbs. for 10 seconds force.
(One fails to withstand the force = failure).
Product safety Handbook SA-44 2000

Correct clamp use
Snap clamp
Snap clamp
for Female-type
snap only.
Stud clamp
Stud clamp
For Male-type snap

only.
! Snap clamp – female snap only.

! Stud clamp – male snap only.
! No misuse is allowed and error leads to wrong testing results.

Correct position for snap clamp
INCORRECT #
CORRECT "
(1) Open the fabric- Knurled Lock

clamping device of
clamping fixture
(2) By rotation of
the knurled lock
(arm adjust dial)
(3) To locate & position

of male / female snap
attachment directly onto
the recess,
(4) To ensure the snap

fastening side faces up
the drill type chuck
jaws.
(5) To rotate knurled

lock to secure the snap
attachment

(6) To open drill type chuck
(upper clamping jaw) by rotating
of the knurled disc lock (upper
clamping jaw) counter clockwise.
(7) To set the pointer of

reading gauge to zero
position, by adjusting the
zero tare ring of scale.
(8) Set to the ‘Maximum

reading’ recording mode

(9) Lower the drill type chuck
by rotation of the top
flywheel, until the chuck jaws
extends to the base of the snap
attachment.
(10) Securely attach the chuck

jaws onto the snap by rotating
the knurled disc lock (jaw
adjust dial).
(11) To rotate the top flywheel as

to elevate the scale, thus inducing a
force on the snap attachment.
(12) A force must be maintained at

17 lbs. for 10 seconds by
stopwatch.
(13) Upon completion of the first test

in step (11), extraction of the snap
attachment is required for continuous
testing of the remaining specimen.
(14) To record your

measurements on the data sheet
provided.

Calibration of Saf-Q snap tester
There are three Calibration tests:
A. Alignment test
B. Clamping test
C. Weight test
A. Alignment test
Reason:
Misalignment between upper & lower clamping devices will induce error in
the reading.
Procedure:
1) To lower the “Upper Snap Clamp” nearly in touch with the “Lower Fabric
Clamp”, rotate the Flywheel.
2) To verify the center alignment between the “Upper Snap Clamp” and the
“Lower Fabric Clamp” visually.
screw
3) If misalignment is observed, loose all the four locking nuts on the screws by
spanner, moves until the alignment is obtained, then secured it.

B. Clamping Test
Reason:
$ The “Lower Fabric Clamp” is equipped with concave washer to
compensate the uneven thickness of fabric.
$ For prolong used, the washers will deform, thus the sample can no longer
be clamped firmly.
Procedure:
Paper
Level horizontally
Concave
washers
1) Clamp a piece of paper onto the “Lower Fabric clamp”

2) Visually verify the lower edge of the grip plate in a horizontal level (as
shown on the diagram)
3) Ensures no slippage is occurred by means of pulling the paper in various
directions
4) If either procedure fails, change the concave washer
5) Removes the retaining ring
6) Pull out the spindle
7) Pull out the anvil
8) Change a new set of concave washer
Spindle
b
c Anvil
d Concave
washer
a Retaining ring

C. Weight Test
Reason:
The accuracy of the test result depends on the accuracy of the force scale, thus
a routine “Weight Test” is necessary to ensure its accuracy.
Procedure:
1) Remove the “Lower Fabric clamp”

% Turn the locking nut anti-clockwise to loose it;
% Pull out the retaining pin;
% Take away the sub assembly out.
2) Remove the “Upper Snap Clamp”

3) Hang the 15 lbs. calibration dead weight on the hook of the scale and
verify the accuracy of the force scale.
(Acceptable tolerance, 0.5% of full scale reading e.g. for 30lbs. scale,
tolerance should be 30 x 0.5% = 0.15 lb.)
$ If the weight test failed, call for the

repairing services (contact ITS)
$ Put back the “Lower Fabric Clamp” and

lock it, as well as the “Upper Snap
Clamp”
