Buttons are typically made from zinc alloys, brass, stainless steel, or iron, ensuring they are nickel-free while still maintaining the strength and durability required for metal buttons. Advanced manufacturing processes allow for a wide range of decorative effects, including brand logos, badges, geometric patterns, fashion designs, military elements, and custom designs.
To achieve diverse aesthetics without using nickel, buttons can be finished with various alternative surface treatments, including antique brass, matte gold, bright brass, black coating, gunmetal finish, nickel-free silver, and environmentally friendly colored electroplating. These treatments meet both design requirements and nickel-free regulations.
