Custom Button — Copper with Gunmetal Plating
We supply button to garment factories and brands, built in Copper with gunmetal plating for uniform and corporate programmes. On a trim like this the specification that decides the outcome is hole burr, because a rough burr cuts thread on the line, so that is agreed in writing before bulk — not discovered when the first carton is opened on the line. Programmes start at 3000 pieces per style per finish.
The failures here are predictable: a finish that tarnishes or rubs off after washing, or colour drift between the approved sample and the bulk trim. We lock material, finish, dimension and tolerance before bulk, and prepare UKCA and REACH documentation so the shipment clears instead of sitting at port while your selling season passes.

Where it is used
- Denim and workwear — hard-wearing finishes that survive industrial washing
- Outerwear and tailoring — matched to the shell fabric so it drapes with the garment

Packing, testing and delivery
Trims are packed to the ratio you specify — by size, by colour or by garment set — with barcodes applied where the line needs them. Test reports for GRS recycled content claim are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Felixstowe with the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and hold the approved reference so reorders reproduce the same material, the same finish and the same hole burr.

A first sample takes 7 working days, and each revision about 5 days.
What packing options are available?
