Food-Safe PUL

We wanted to share this bit of information one of our thoughtful customers shared with us regarding food-safe PUL.  Thank you, Stephanie.

I remember seeing someone post the food/sandwich bag they made a few weeks back and there was some concern that pul was not safe to be used with food. I was just ordering some new pul fabric and found this info about it and thought I would share.....

EcoPUL™ is food safe. PUL fabric by Eco-PUL™ has been tested and found free from lead, phthalates, and BPA. Eco-PUL™ complies with FDA regulations 21 CFR 177.1680 and 177.2600 and therefore can be used in direct and indirect food contact applications, as well as potable water under NSF61.

Over $1000 Raised for Oklahoma Tornado Relief

We recently had a fundraiser through the sale of KAMsnaps pliers to raise money to donate to The Salvation Army to help with Oklahoma tornado relief.  Our goal was to raise at least $500.  Because of your support, we raised more than double that!  Thank you for helping us make a small difference.

20% Off New KAM Snap Colors

We're introducing our 3 newest Limited Edition KAMsnaps custom colors with a 20% off deal when you buy all 3 colors here. Magenta is a deep, vibrant fuschia pink.  Smoky navy is a navy with a hint of gray.  Tangerine was Pantone's color of the year in 2012 and is very similar to but slightly darker than B52 dark orange.  Get them while you can because they're available only for a limited time.

Short Prong KAM Snaps

Standard size 20 plastic KAM snaps are commonly used on most products, including diapers.  We have long-prong versions for materials which are very thick, such as Indian prefolds.  For those materials which are fairly thin, like 2-3 layers of t-shirt material, we now have short-prong caps in white.  Our short-prong size 20 snaps have the same length as our regular size 16 snaps. The only difference is that being size 20, the caps have a wider diameter than the size 16.

How do you know when you need shorter prongs?  After you've installed your snaps, if the 2 sides are not clicking closed properly, then most likely the fabric is too thin for your length of snap.   That's because there is too much "leftover" prong after it has been smushed down so it gets in the way when the socket and stud try to attach.  The solution is to either thicken up your fabric or to use shorter prongs so that the amount of "leftover" prong after it has been smushed is reduced.

We have a video which illustrates this:
