Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we offer custom logo molding and laser engraving on all snap button types. Mold fee is waived for orders above 50,000 pieces. Custom mold turnaround is 5-7 business days.
What certifications do your snap buttons have?
All our snap buttons are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, meaning they are tested and verified free from harmful substances. Our factory also holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications.
How long does production and shipping take?
Standard production time is 2-3 weeks. Air freight to Europe takes 3-5 days, to USA 5-7 days. Sea freight to major ports takes 2-4 weeks depending on destination.
What materials are your snap buttons made from?
We use brass, zinc alloy, stainless steel (304 grade), and copper. Surface finishes include nickel, antique brass, black nickel, gold, gunmetal, painted colors, and custom PVD coatings.
How do prong snap buttons differ from spring snap buttons?
Prong snap buttons attach via 4 metal prongs that pierce fabric — no special machinery needed, ideal for baby clothing and lightweight garments. Spring snap buttons (press studs) use internal spring fingers to grip a stud and require a press tool; they offer stronger holding force (25-30N) suitable for jackets, workwear, and outerwear.
What is the difference between a snap button manufacturer and a trading company?
A manufacturer operates its own production lines and controls quality from raw material to finished product. A trading company resells products sourced from various factories. As a direct manufacturer, Ata Buttons offers factory-direct pricing (typically 20-40% lower than trading companies), production transparency, custom tooling capabilities, and consistent quality control across all orders.
Can I visit your snap button factory in Istanbul?
Yes, factory visits are welcome by appointment. Our facility is in Merter, Istanbul. Most international buyers schedule visits to coincide with regional textile trade fairs like ITM Istanbul. We can arrange airport pickup and English-speaking tour guides for serious B2B prospects.
Do you supply snap buttons for technical apparel and PPE?
Yes. We supply heavy-duty brass and stainless steel snap fasteners for technical workwear, PPE (coveralls, fire-resistant garments), military uniforms, and outdoor technical wear. These applications typically use 17mm-25mm snap sizes with reinforced grip springs (30-40N) and special anti-corrosion plating like PVD or military-grade nickel.
