Ordering Polyester Buttons? 7 Details Garment Buyers Should Prepare

When requesting a quotation for polyester buttons, sending only a button photo may not provide enough information.

For garment factories, fashion brands and sourcing teams, clear specifications can help a button supplier understand the project more accurately.

1. Button Design

Specify the construction, such as 2-hole, 4-hole or shank, together with the shape and edge details.

Provide an existing sample or reference image when available.

2. Size

Specify the required size in Ligne (L) or millimeters. If the garment uses several button sizes, provide each size separately.

3. Thickness

Buttons with the same diameter do not necessarily have the same thickness.

Thickness can influence appearance and should be considered together with the fabric and buttonhole.

4. Color

Provide a clear color reference such as a fabric swatch or the color standard used for the project.

Color matching and acceptable tolerances depend on the material, production process and agreed requirements.

5. Finish

Specify the desired surface appearance, such as matte, semi-shiny or glossy.

Different finishes can noticeably change the appearance of a button even when similar colors are used.

6. Application

Explain whether the buttons will be used for shirts, trousers, jackets, uniforms or another garment type, together with any relevant special requirements.

Application information gives the supplier useful context beyond a reference photo.

7. Order Quantity

Provide the estimated quantity so the manufacturer can evaluate the project requirements.

If the product is part of a repeat-order program, communicate this information as well.
