Denim buttons and rivets are used for jeans and denim jackets, typically made from zinc alloy and copper. They can also be customized with different shapes and logos, extending your product's lifespan while enhancing its visual appeal. As an experienced button manufacturer, Kunshuo offers denim buttons and rivets in various materials, including zinc alloy, copper, and iron.

We will detail the customization options for jeans buttons and rivets.
What's the Difference: Buttons, Tack Buttons, and Rivets
Denim hardware includes jeans buttons, tack buttons, and rivets. Though they appear similar, each serves a distinct purpose in jeans manufacturing.
Jeans Buttons:
The most common is the jeans button (also known as a belt button). Typically made from zinc alloy and brass for durability, it sits at the top of the fly. Its function is to secure the jeans firmly while adding style and brand recognition through custom logos.
Tack Button:
A tack button is a specialized jeans fastener. It consists of two parts-a decorative cap and a pin-like stud-pressed together through the fabric. Tack buttons offer greater strength than sewn buttons, making them ideal for heavy denim.
Rivet:
Rivets are typically used at stress points like pocket corners and fly fronts to prevent fabric from tearing under tension.
Custom denim button and rivet material
Denim buttons and rivets are most commonly made from zinc alloy and copper, with differences in durability, cost, and customization options between the two materials.

Copper denim buttons and rivets
Copper denim buttons and rivets are often used on raw denim. They are highly valued for their strength, corrosion resistance, and the natural patina that develops over time, though they come at a higher price point.
Compared to other materials, copper buttons are more eco-friendly and recyclable, making them ideal for environmentally conscious apparel brands.
Zinc alloy denim buttons and rivets
Zinc alloy denim buttons and rivets offer greater affordability and lighter weight. They can be customized into various shapes and finishes, making them common in fashion denim. However, they wear faster under heavy stress.

Common Finishes for denim button and rivet
The surface treatment of denim buttons not only affects their style but also determines their color retention and abrasion resistance. Proper surface treatment prevents fading, scratching, or corrosion even after hundreds of washes.






Common style for denim button
Denim buttons come in two types: rocking and non-rocking. Once attached to jeans, the metal panel of a rocking denim button will sway freely, while a non-rocking button remains stationary. Choose based on your design concept.
Additionally, denim buttons are available with either a rubber core or a hollow core.
