Wooden Button Sourcing Program for Amazon Private Label Sellers: Sneakers
Wooden Button Programme for Amazon Private Label Sellers: Sneakers
This programme covers the full path from a wooden button requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for amazon private label sellers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 32 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around sneakers, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in wooden button sourcing is not price — it is drift. A base material changes mill, the shade moves, a plating bath changes and the item quietly stops matching the approved sample. We prevent that with a written spec, an approved counter sample and a golden sample retained at the factory.
What the programme covers
- Specification build from your tech pack or a physical reference sample
- Base material and finish options with costed alternatives
- Sampling, testing and approval against ISO 14001
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Glass — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Brass — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Rubber — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- POM Plastic — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

FAQ
What happens if a bulk lot fails inspection?
The lot is reworked or remade at our cost. Inspection reports are shared before the balance payment is due.
What are the payment and delivery terms?
Standard terms are a deposit with the order and the balance before shipment, under EXW / FOB / CIF / DDP as agreed.
Can you handle our own artwork or tooling?
Yes. Artwork files or existing tooling can be used; we confirm tolerances in writing before the first production run.
Do you hold stock for reorders?
Approved specifications are kept on file and, for repeat programmes, base material can be reserved against a rolling forecast.
Share the programme details and we will propose two alternatives — one optimised for unit cost, one for lead time — and let you choose.
