Closures & belt buckles
Magnetic Button / Magnetic Snap
A closure that holds a flap or panel shut with a magnet seated inside two mating metal cups. The cups are stamped and the magnets are bought-in; Qinxi has no stamping or magnet line, so the complete magnetic button is sourced from the supply chain.
Overview
- Made by
- Supply chain / partners
- Materials
- Brass, Iron / low-carbon steel, Stainless steel, Neodymium or ferrite magnet (bought-in)
- Finish options
- Nickel, Nickel-free, Antique brass, Gunmetal, Black nickel, Matte brushed
- Customization
- Cup diameter and profile (flat, dome, hidden), Magnet grade and pull force, Reverse-pole safety pair for child-exposed items, Plating matched to the hardware set
Applications
- Backpacks
- Crossbody bagsFront pocket or flap magnet
- HandbagsFlap or frame closure
- Coats & jacketsStorm-flap or hidden closure
Selection tips
- Specify pull force against the flap weight: too weak and it drifts open, too strong and it is hard to operate one-handed.
- For items that may be handled by children, ask about magnet safety (small high-flux magnets are regulated under US 16 CFR 1262 and EU/US toy rules).
- Nickel-free plating is needed for EU skin-contact items to meet REACH nickel-release limits.
- Keep magnets away from cards, electronics and mechanical watches; flag this to the buyer for packaging.
Manufacturing process & quality control points
- 1
Stamping of the cups
Supply chain / partnersThe two mating cups are blanked and drawn. Qinxi has no stamping or cold-heading line, so this is done by the supply chain to the agreed diameter and plating.
Quality control points
- Cup dimension and draw finish · Caliper and 10x loupe · Per lot, AQL 2.5 (ISO 2859-1 general level II)
- 2
Magnet fit and plating
Supply chain / partnersA bought-in magnet is press-fitted into each cup and the cups are plated. Plating is outsourced to the supply chain; coating thickness and corrosion are verified against the agreed specification.
Quality control points
- Magnet seating and polarity · Seating check; pole verification with a reference magnet · Per lot, AQL 2.5 (ISO 2859-1 general level II)
- Coating thickness · XRF coating thickness gauge (ISO 3497 / ASTM B568) · One set per plating colour per batch
- 3
Pull-force and closure test
Supply chain / partnersThe mating pair is pulled apart to confirm the pull force and that it seats squarely without slipping. Supplied and tested by the supply chain, with Qinxi spot-checking.
Quality control points
- Pull force and seating · Pull gauge; fit check on the actual panel · Per lot, AQL 2.5 (ISO 2859-1 general level II)
