With sew-on snaps, you cannot see the button from the front. Non-sew-on snaps allow you to see the button on the front, so there is a higher demand for aesthetics. On the other hand, sew-on snap buttons are sewn onto the garment and they are easily removed with a thread remover if a mistake is made. Unsewn snaps, on the other hand, are secured by breaking the fabric, so from this perspective, sew-on snap buttons are more forgiving.

Furthermore, sew-on snaps can perform well in both thick and light fabrics, while non-sewn snap fasteners are more suitable for heavy fabrics such as jackets and coats. The use of non-sewn snaps on fabrics that are too light may damage the fabric due to tension when opening and closing.
