Metal Buttons’ materials:

Metal buttons can be made from a variety of materials, including zinc alloy, brass, stainless steel, aluminum, and iron. Because iron buttons rust and rot, they are rarely found on the market. Zinc alloy buttons and brass buttons are the most common. Stainless steel buttons and aluminum buttons are also popular. Let’s take a closer look at the buttons we produce.

Zinc alloy buttons–Made primarily of zinc and aluminum, these buttons are widely used in high-end jeans, coats, uniforms, and so on.

Brass buttons–Brass buttons are another type of high-quality metal buttons made primarily of copper and zinc. These buttons are commonly used on casual wear, coats, handbags, etc. They are cheaper than zinc buttons.

Stainless steel buttons–Stainless steel buttons contain nickel, chromium, and other metals. The best part about these buttons is that they never rust and are more affordable than zinc and brass buttons. Furthermore, stainless steel buttons are more corrosion-resistant and lighter than brass buttons.

Why choose metal buttons?

Durability

One of the primary reasons to choose metal buttons is their exceptional durability. Unlike plastic or wooden buttons, metal buttons are highly resistant to wear and tear. They can withstand frequent washing, exposure to high temperatures, and physical strain without losing their integrity. This makes them ideal for garments that endure heavy use, such as jeans, jackets, and work uniforms. Additionally, their longevity ensures that they remain functional and visually appealing for the lifetime of the product, reducing the need for replacements.

Versatility

Metal buttons are incredibly versatile and can be used in various applications beyond clothing. They are commonly found on bags, shoes, hats, and even furniture. Their sturdy nature makes them suitable for industrial and heavy-duty applications, while their elegant designs cater to fashion-forward garments. Whether you need a practical fastening solution or a decorative accent, metal buttons can fulfill both roles effortlessly.

Practical Advantages

Metal buttons also offer practical advantages over other materials. They are less likely to crack or chip, even under pressure. This makes them especially suitable for applications where strength is paramount, such as in outerwear or heavy-duty gear. Additionally, metal buttons are resistant to UV damage and extreme weather conditions, ensuring they remain functional and attractive in all environments.

Environmental Benefits

In an era of increasing environmental consciousness, the sustainability of materials is a crucial consideration. Metal buttons are a more eco-friendly option compared to plastic alternatives. Metals like brass, steel, and aluminum are recyclable, and many metal buttons are made from recycled materials. This contributes to reducing waste and conserving natural resources. Furthermore, the durability of metal buttons means they last longer, reducing the frequency of replacements and the overall environmental impact.
