Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What threads should be used?
A: We recommend using polyester or cotton-polyester blend thread with a minimum thickness of 40-50 weight for durability. For decorative applications, topstitching thread or buttonhole twist provides excellent visibility and strength.
Q: Can these buttons withstand commercial laundering?
A: Absolutely! Our sew on metal buttons are specifically engineered for commercial laundering environments. They resist high temperatures, harsh detergents, and mechanical stress. They're perfect for hospitality, healthcare, and industrial uniform applications.
Q: How do I determine the right button size for my garment?
A: Button size depends on fabric weight and button placement. For dress shirts: 10-14mm; casual shirts: 14-18mm; jackets and coats: 18-25mm. The buttonhole should be 2-3mm larger than the button diameter. We offer free consulting to help you select the perfect size.
Q: What's the minimum order quantity for custom designs?
A: Our standard MOQ is 100 pcs per design/color if the buttons are stock. For custom made orders MOQ is 1000 pcs per design. However, we can accommodate smaller quantities for prototype development or limited-edition collections by negotiating. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
Q: Are these buttons suitable for children's clothing?
A: Yes! Our buttons meet all safety standards for children's garments including CPSIA compliance. The smooth edges and secure attachment make them safe for kids' wear. We also offer larger sizes that are easier for small hands to manipulate.
