How do you make plastic snaps easier to open?

Snaps are Hard to Open KAM plastic snaps are industrial grade, which means they have a very strong, secure grip. For this reason, it is always recommended that you reinforce any thin, delicate or stretchy fabric (like jersey) with a sturdier material (like twill or fleece) to avoid ripping over time.
