First, OYC specializes in producing hardware for bags. Bag snap hooks are one of our core bag hardware products and also one of our star product lines. So what materials are bag snap hooks actually made of?
Zinc Alloy
Offers a metallic feel at a lower cost and is rust-resistant. Its numerous advantages make it a frequently used material for OYC’s bag hardware production.
Brass
Often chosen for vintage-style bags. However, it’s slightly more expensive and may develop patina over time.
Stainless Steel
Resistant to rust with a strong metallic feel, though slightly pricier. It offers advantages for bags requiring higher load-bearing capacity.
Precious Metals
Such as gold, silver, platinum, etc. These materials are less common but may appear in luxury handbags.
Plastic
Plastic is often used in more affordable bags and handbags. However, with technological advancements, plastic bag snap hooks are no longer synonymous with low cost. Specialized plastics offer high malleability, vibrant colors, and a distinctly modern aesthetic.
