Custom Button — Polycarbonate with Nickel Plating
We supply button to garment factories and brands, built in Polycarbonate with nickel plating for outerwear and jacket programmes. On a trim like this the specification that decides the outcome is shade match across a full box, since buttons are bought by the gross, so that is agreed in writing before bulk — not discovered when the first carton is opened on the line. Programmes start at 1000 pieces per style per finish.
The failures here are predictable: colour drift between the approved sample and the bulk trim, or a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid. We lock material, finish, dimension and tolerance before bulk, and prepare SNI or SIRIM documentation per destination so the shipment clears instead of sitting at port while your selling season passes.

How we produce it
- Drawing or reference sample review, with size and finish confirmed
- Material selection and a finish sample or strike-off

- Bulk run with nickel plating applied under controlled settings
- In-line inspection, final AQL 2.5 inspection and packing to your ratio
Where it is used
- Denim and workwear — hard-wearing finishes that survive industrial washing
- Outerwear and tailoring — matched to the shell fabric so it drapes with the garment
- Childrenswear and schoolwear — tested to the destination's safety standard
- Bridal and eveningwear — small runs with hand-finished detail
- Uniform and corporate programmes — repeatable spec held on file for reorders
Packing, testing and delivery
Trims are packed to the ratio you specify — by size, by colour or by garment set — with barcodes applied where the line needs them. Test reports for EN 71 part 3 for decorative components are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Jakarta or Port Klang with the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and hold the approved reference so reorders reproduce the same material, the same finish and the same shade match across a full box.
FAQ
Can you do small runs across many designs?
Yes — many studio and boutique programmes run small quantities across a wide design set.
Can you match a reference sample?
Yes. Send the trim and we match material, finish and shade, then confirm on a pre-production sample before bulk.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
We prepare EN 71 part 3 for decorative components and the supporting test reports for the destination market.
Do you ship to our forwarder?
Yes. We deliver to your nominated forwarder or quote landed cost under the agreed Incoterm.
