Button and Hardware Setting Dies

Setting dies are application tools used with compatible presses or equipment to install buttons, snap fasteners, eyelets, rivets and related hardware. The correct die must match the exact hardware system and size rather than only the general product family.

How to choose a setting die

• Identify the exact hardware type
• Confirm the system and dimensions
• Check compatibility with the press or application equipment
• Do not confuse punching dies with setting dies

Why compatibility matters

Two hardware pieces with similar diameters can require different die geometry. Using an incorrect die can deform the component or prevent a clean installation. Use the verified compatibility information on the product page.
