TR Series Snap Buttons: Understanding the Turkish Standard Numbering System

What Are TR Series Snap Buttons?

The TR series is a standardized snap button classification system widely used in the Turkish and European textile industries. Each TR number designates a specific snap button profile, mechanism, and size range, providing a universal language for ordering and specification.

TR Series Models Explained

TR 100

TR 100 is a standard spring snap button with a classic rounded cap profile. It is the most commonly specified TR model for general garment applications.

• Common sizes: 12.5mm, 15mm
• Applications: Jackets, casual wear, light outerwear

TR 200

TR 200 features a slightly different cap geometry and spring design compared to TR 100. Available in Type A and Type B variants with different cap heights.

TR 900

TR 900 represents the premium end of the TR range with enhanced durability features and refined aesthetics.

Choosing the Right TR Model

TR Series Compatibility

Each TR model requires its own specific mold (die) set for attachment. TR models are not interchangeable with each other or with non-TR snap buttons. When ordering, always specify the exact TR model number to ensure you receive matching components and molds.
