Identify exactly which accessories you need. Browse our product categories:

• Snap Buttons (spring, press, or prong)
• Jean Buttons (fixed, movable, hollow cap)
• Rivets (capped, nipple, stone, specialty)
• Eyelets (round, oval, shaped, flat)

Size Specification

Provide exact sizes in millimeters or ligne. If unsure, describe your application and our team will recommend appropriate sizes. See our snap button sizing guide for reference.

Plating Finish

Specify the desired metal finish. Common options include nickel, antique brass, gunmetal, gold, black nickel, and matte versions. See our plating guide.

Custom Logo (if applicable)

If you need custom branding, prepare your logo in vector format (AI, EPS, SVG, or PDF). See our custom logo guide for details on the branding process.

Step 2: Request Samples

Always test accessories on your actual products before placing a production order. Sample requests should include:

• Product model name or code

• Quantity needed for testing (typically 10-50 pieces)
• Shipping address for sample delivery

Step 3: Evaluate Samples

When testing samples, verify:

• Snap function — smooth open/close with appropriate force
• Plating quality — color, evenness, and consistency
• Fabric compatibility — no damage or distortion during attachment
• Size appropriateness — proportional to garment design
• Wash testing — run through your standard wash program

Step 4: Place Production Order

Information Required

• Exact product model and specifications
• Quantity per component (caps, sockets, studs, posts)
• Plating finish (with approved sample reference)
• Delivery address and preferred shipping method
