Compared to plastic or lightweight buttons, metal buttons offer greater durability, better abrasion resistance, and a more sophisticated appearance, thus enhancing the overall quality of coats and jackets. These buttons are typically made from metals such as zinc alloys, brass, or stainless steel. Manufacturing processes such as die casting, stamping, and fine polishing create a structurally stable and smooth button shape. Subsequent surface treatments, such as electroplating, brushing, or antique finishes, allow the buttons to achieve a variety of colors and textures, including classic silver, gold, antique bronze, or a matte metallic effect. Metal coat buttons can be customized in various ways, including different sizes, shapes, and decorative designs, to meet the needs of different clothing brands and manufacturers.

Custom Technology
Our metal coat buttons can be produced using several advanced metalworking processes to meet different design and durability requirements. Depending on the product structure, we utilize precision casting, metal pressing, and CNC finishing techniques to create well-balanced buttons with sharp decorative details. Surface appearance can be enhanced through multi-layer plating, sandblasting textures, matte coatings, or vintage oxidation treatments, allowing brands to achieve distinctive metallic effects while maintaining strong resistance to fading and wear.
Custom Shape
In addition to standard round buttons, we support the development of unique shapes to complement different coat styles. Our production team can create crest-shaped buttons, polygon designs, oval outlines, or signature brand silhouettes based on customer drawings. Decorative structures such as raised edges, carved borders, or layered frames can also be incorporated to give the button a more dimensional appearance on the garment.
Custom Size
Outerwear designs vary greatly in scale, so button size plays an important role in visual balance. Our metal coat buttons are typically produced in sizes from 15mm to 30mm, suitable for front closures, sleeve accents, or decorative placements on coats. If a garment requires a special proportion, we can also customize diameter, thickness, and shank height to ensure proper spacing and comfortable fastening.
