Custom Button in Stainless Steel with Sewn Edge for E-commerce and Small-Batch Brands

Custom Button — Stainless Steel with Sewn Edge

We supply button to garment factories and brands, built in Stainless Steel with sewn edge for denim and workwear programmes. On a trim like this the specification that decides the outcome is shade match across a full box, since buttons are bought by the gross, so that is agreed in writing before bulk — not discovered when the first carton is opened on the line. Programmes start at 500 pieces per style per finish.

The failures here are predictable: colour drift between the approved sample and the bulk trim, or a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid. 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.

How we produce it

1. Drawing or reference sample review, with size and finish confirmed
2. Material selection and a finish sample or strike-off
3. Prototype made to the agreed ligne
4. Fit and wash test on the actual garment fabric, then a pre-production sample
5. Bulk run with sewn edge applied under controlled settings
6. In-line inspection, final AQL 2.5 inspection and packing to your ratio

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
• Childrenswear and schoolwear — tested to the destination's safety standard
• Bridal and eveningwear — small runs with hand-finished detail
• Uniform and corporate programmes — repeatable spec held on file for reorders

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 colour fastness to washing, rubbing and light 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 shade match across a full box.

FAQ

How long does sampling take?

A first sample takes 12 working days, and each revision about 5 days.

How do you control colour on reorders?

The approved reference and the bulk standard are retained, and every reorder is checked against them before shipment.

Do you ship to our forwarder?

Yes. We deliver to your nominated forwarder or quote landed cost under the agreed Incoterm.

Can you match a reference sample?

Yes. Send the trim and we match material, finish and shade, then confirm on a pre-production sample before bulk.
