Four- or two-piece sets of fastening metal buttons (studs and rivets) have been in use for a long time and have a ship for more than a hundred years. Their function has hardly changed since their invention. Even after a long time, we can say that even today, they are used intensively as textile metal accessories in terms of functionality and aesthetics. Metal buttons are an ideal choice for a variety of clothing and can be used for different purposes.
The fastening metal button type consists of four or two parts. For example, considering the kinds of snap buttons. These metal buttons are joined by combining two pairs of components: the head-visible portion of the stud is locked by engaging the upper part and the lower part portion together. The upper part of the button consists of a concave shape (female) and a convex (male) part, which assists to engage the lower button. The lower component of the knob has a conical shape in which the other is placed. The upper part of the button (female) may also be at the bottom depending on the areas of use.

Practical use of metal buttons

Metal buttons in this group cannot be used only in the textile industry. They are especially preferred in bags, shoes and many other places (rivet types). You can use it in aesthetic accessory, ready-made clothing (shirt, jacket, vest etc.) products, functional elements in the bag sector (wallet, suitcase, packaging, etc.) or in pet accessories (leashes, dog and cat clothes etc.).

Children's Clothing:
Usually a simple and non-patterned snap button type is used or only the company's logo is applied. The part to be considered here is the material and the coating on which the studs are made. Generally, the coatings for the domestic market are not paid attention to, and low quality nickel, gold and similar coatings are applied and therefore do not comply with export standards. If the product is to be exported, attention must be paid to the coating quality.
