snap closure

Click-together metal fastener

A snap closure is a fastening mechanism consisting of two interlocking discs that click together when pressed and pull apart with modest force.

Found on clothing, bags, and accessories, snap closures offer quick fastening without buttons, zippers, or ties.

The baby's onesie has snap closures for easy diaper changes.

They're also called snaps, press studs, or poppers depending on region.
