FAQ

Are ABS buttons durable for frequent washing?

Quality ABS buttons hold up well under regular washing cycles. Surface finishes such as electroplating and enamel can maintain good condition if processed properly.

Can I get custom ABS buttons for my clothing brand?

Yes. Custom ABS buttons support size, color, surface finish and pattern customization. Both wholesale bulk orders and brand-specific custom requirements are acceptable.

What is the difference between ABS shank button and hole-type ABS button?

ABS shank buttons have a back stem for sewing, sitting off fabric surface. 2-Hole and 4-Hole buttons sew flat directly through holes. Shank styles work better for thick heavy fabrics.
