We quote custom metal buttons wholesale by zinc-alloy die casting or brass stamping. Available design routes include engraved, embossed or debossed logos, enamel fill and epoxy-dome artwork, with gold, silver, gunmetal, antique and matte finish references.

Start with the garment and attachment method, then choose the metal and finish. A coat may need shank clearance; a uniform program may prioritize a repeatable crest and controlled plating; a direct-skin-contact garment may add a specific nickel-release requirement.

What determines a custom metal button quotation?

Price driverWhat to specifyWhy it matters
Metal and constructionZinc alloy or brass; shank, four-hole, screw-back or snap-capMaterial use and forming process change the base cost
Logo and toolingArtwork, diameter, relief depth, engraving, enamel or epoxy domeSome methods need a dedicated mold while others use surface processing
Finish and testingApproved finish sample, wash method, skin contact and destination protocolPlating layers, protective coating and third-party checks add process steps
Quantity and packingUnits per design/finish, size split and packing formatSetup, inspection and packing are quoted against the final scope

The catalogue contains 94 metal-button listings with different sizes, materials, finishes and order terms, so one public unit price would be misleading. Send the final specification for an itemized tooling and production quote.

Frequently asked questions

What affects a custom metal button quotation?

Material, diameter, construction, finish, logo method, quantity, testing and packing all affect the quotation. Send the artwork and garment specification so tooling and unit pricing can be separated clearly.

Which logo method works for custom metal buttons?

Embossing or debossing suits raised and recessed marks; laser engraving suits fine surface detail; enamel fill adds color; and an epoxy dome can protect printed artwork. The artwork, button size and wash process determine the practical route.

Can metal buttons be specified as nickel-free for the EU market?

Nickel-free plating can be specified. Share the destination market, skin-contact use and required test method so the plating specification and any third-party testing are confirmed before production.

How should metal button plating be approved before bulk production?

Approve a physical plated sample on the actual garment, then define the required color, adhesion, wash, corrosion or nickel-release checks for the order. The test plan should match the end use rather than rely on one default claim.

Shank or 4-hole — which should I choose?

Shank buttons provide thread clearance on coats and blazers. Four-hole sew-on buttons suit flatter attachment and some machine-sewing programs. Confirm fabric thickness, button diameter and attachment method before ordering.
