No matter what type of button your clothing uses, Polyester Coat Button, Plastic Buttons, Polyester Eyelets Buttons, Printed Metal Button or other, all buttons should meet some factory standards to avoid unsafe factors during the use of buttons. We can do a preliminary assessment for safety.

All types of buttons should meet the following basic criteria:

Buttons must be tested for water resistance and color fastness.

Buttons must be shatterproof.

Button products should absolutely avoid any sharp or rough edges.

Buttons must be securely attached with proper stitching or other attachment systems.

Notes on sewing buttons:

Button placements should be considered carefully not only for safety purposes, but also to guarantee the comfort of the wearer.

Buttons attached by stitching must be securely finished.

A firm tension of stitching is a must in button attachment by stitching.

Backing fabrics must be suitable to ensure the firmness of the button attachment.

Decorative buttons must be attached individually. These buttons require at least 2 buttonholes at the top and bottom, or 4 buttonholes in the center. Additionally, decorative buttons sewn onto just a single layer of fabric must have a suitable and fusible backing.

We must evaluate from several aspects to ensure the safety of button products.

Can the button get broken or shattered?

Is the button attachment securely fastened?

Does the button has 4 buttonholes or more?

Is the position of the button proper in terms of comfort for the wearer?

Does the button have multi-components? Can they be separated?

Does the button have a 2.5 cm diameter or larger to prevent biting (especially for childrenswear)?

Is the button manufactured out of wood, coconut or shell that will disintegrate during wash?

Improper use of buttons:

Shank buttons with plastic shanks are vulnerable to breaking.

Improper button placements can lead to the discomfort of the wearer.

Incorrect attachment can cause the button to fall off the garment.

A button attached by (incorrect) stitching can pull through the fabric and detach itself from the garment.

Buttons with several different components can become separated.

Buttons manufactured with wood, coconut, or shell materials can disintegrate in a normal wash or break.

Buttons with sharp or rough edges, especially around the buttonholes can cut the stitching thread attachment.
