How to choose dies? And why is that so important?

To have the corresponding dies for any fasteners is crucial. You don't want any unexpected damage to your rivets, buttons, or products. It could be troublesome when this happens because reinstalling rivets or other fasteners are not that easy, unlike sewing or sew-on buttons.

Imagine your product is well-made, and you just failed on the last step of installing the fasteners. That ruins everything you've done, causing deformation, defects, functionality loss, or fabric damage. Some of these mistakes are even irreversible.

There are many different types of dies you can choose from. But without knowing which is more suitable for your cases, you may encounter issues when the fasteners are being installed. It's always best if you can make contact with us so that we can suggest. 

The dies above are made for rivets. In general, there are four types. TYPE A is for nipple rivets. You can use it to install our nipple rivets in different sizes from 6 mm up to 12 mm. For example, if you need to install the nipple rivets and they come in both 8 mm and 9.5 mm, you need one top die only.

TYPE B is the most advanced top die for setting rivets. It functions the best when we compare it with TYPE C and D. But some of the rivets are not compatible with spring-type due to the shapes or sizes. TYPE C is the generalist because most of the rivets can be made with the rubber rings. The only downside of using a rubber ring is durability. It will lose its elasticity when it gets old or after we use it so many times. Unlike the spring type, we can easily replace the worn-out spring with a new one. TYPE D is more for individual cases, similar to TYPE C.
