Custom Button
Buttons are handled more than any other trim on a garment and washed as often as the fabric. Plating, shank strength and the depth of an engraved logo decide whether they still look right after a season, so they are worth specifying rather than picking from a tray.
Why Buyers Specify This
- Logo engraved or embossed rather than printed on
- Metal, resin, shell and wood options quoted together
- Plating matched to your zippers and metal trims
- Shank and sew-through versions for different applications
Who It Is For
- Denim and workwear brands stressing hardware hardest
- Tailoring brands needing a consistent button across a suit
- Fashion labels matching hardware tone across a collection
- Manufacturers consolidating trim purchasing
Problems It Solves
- Plating discolouring after a few washes
- Buttons from different suppliers not matching in tone
- Engraved logos too shallow to read
- Shanks pulling out of the garment under load
Where It Is Used
- Denim shank buttons and rivets
- Suit and jacket button sets
- Shirt and blouse programmes across a size run
- Outerwear needing heavy-duty fastenings
Features
- Engraved, embossed or enamelled logo
- Shank and sew-through constructions
- Plating and antique finishes

Materials

How It Compares With The Alternatives
Compared With Stock buttons
A stock button is anonymous. An engraved one carries the brand every time the garment is fastened.
Compared With Rivets and studs
Rivets reinforce stress points, buttons fasten. Denim programmes usually need both and we quote them together.
How To Order This Well
- Post a physical sample if you are matching an existing finish
- Tell us the fabric weight so the shank is right
- Send vector artwork where you have it for the engraving
- Wash-test the sample before approving bulk
Custom Button Questions
Can you match the plating on our zippers?
Send both parts as physical samples. Tone matching across components only works reliably from the real thing.
How small can an engraved logo be?
Send the artwork and the button diameter and we will tell you what will hold at that size.
Which button suits heavy denim?
Tell us the fabric weight and the position on the garment and we will specify the type and shank.
Is nickel release a consideration?
Some markets regulate metal against skin. Tell us where you sell and we will flag what needs confirming.
