Product information "Button Blanks Plastic, Metal"
These button blanks are two-part shells for covering with fabric or leather. The cap and covering material are joined with the matching button tool to form a covered button. This lets you make custom buttons for clothing, accessories or upholstery work.
The cap is made of aluminium in all variants. The choice between plastic and metal applies only to the back part with eyelet. Plastic back parts are suitable for fashion and textiles; metal back parts are for more heavily loaded upholstery applications.
For a clean result, the button size must match the tool size. Depending on the covering material, choose the appropriate version for fabric or leather in the separate tool listing.

Mit etwas Übung klappt`s wunderbar
11mm-Knöpfe mit Samt zu beziehen war eine Herausforderung. Die ersten Versuche unter Einsatz der Hebelpresse gingen schief, im Wortsinn. Stoff und Metallkappe ließen sich nicht gerade in die Führung einpassen, geschweigedenn verpressen. Mit Hilfe eines Rundhölzchens gelang das Zentrieren, mit einer spitzen Schere das Einfälteln des überstehenden Stoffs in die Metallkappe. Einmal sachte am Hebel gezogen, fertig war der Knopf - perfekt und fest zusammengefügt.

unzufrieden
die Knöpfe mit dem Plastikunterteil sind von keiner guten Stabilität, mit Spindelpresse verarbeitet und der Stoff war nicht dick,gehalten schlecht!
Schade
Metallkappe verbiegt sich sehr schnell aus der Form

Super um selber Knöpfe mit Stoff zu b...
Ich hab mit den Metallknöpfen klasse Polsterknöpfe gemacht. Für die richtige Größe der Stoffscheiben, müsste ich ein wenig Ausprobieren. Nach dem dritten Zuschnitt hatte ich die richtige Größe gefunden. Und mit dem passenden Knopfwerkzeug lässt ich der Knopf sehr gut beziehen.

Pas satisfaite du tout
Produit reçu en vrac (commandé 3 paquet de 100) et les capsules étaient très sales (noires). Il m'a fallu les laver 1 par 1 afin de pouvoir les utiliser sans salir le tissus.
Même le sac plastique du conditionnement était noir en dedans
What is the difference between plastic and metal back part?
Plastic and metal refer only to the back part with eyelet. The cap is made of aluminium in all variants. Plastic back parts are suitable for clothing and textiles; metal back parts are for more heavily loaded upholstery applications.
Is the cap always made of aluminium?
Yes. The cap is made of aluminium in all variants. The material choice applies only to the back part with eyelet.
What matters when covering?
Choose the fabric or leather version in the tool listing to match your covering material. Button size and tool size must match.
Do I need a separate tool for each button size?
Yes. Button size and tool size must be identical. Each button size requires its own tool in the same size.
Can I use plastic back parts for upholstery buttons?
No. Plastic back parts are not suitable for upholstery work under high load, as they can break. For upholstery buttons, choose the metal variant with a sturdy eyelet.
Which button size suits which project?
Small sizes suit fine fabrics, bridal wear, blouses or accessories. Medium sizes fit jackets, blazers, coats or skirts. Large sizes are often used for decorative textile designs.
What is included in the delivery?
You receive two-part button blanks consisting of cap and back part with eyelet in the quantity you selected. Tool and other accessories are not included.
Size
Button size is traditionally given in so-called English lines (lignes). For buttons, one English line equals 1/40 inch, i.e. 0.635 mm. For easier orientation, we also state the size in millimetres.
Common notations and abbreviations include e.g. L for line/ligne, the double prime ″, the triple prime ‴ and colloquially "er". A designation such as 24L, 24″, 24‴ or 24er thus denotes a button of size 24 lines.
Conversion: Size in lines × 0.635 = diameter in mm. Example: 24 lines correspond to approx. 15.2 mm.
Colour
- Black / White: Variants with plastic back part for clothing and textile applications.
- Silver: Variants with metal back part for higher load and upholstery work.
Material
The material attribute refers only to the back part with eyelet. The cap is made of aluminium in all variants.
Application
Button blanks are covered with fabric or leather and processed into covered buttons. They are suitable for clothing, accessories and, depending on the back part, upholstery work.
Tool selection
- In the separate tool listing, choose the version for fabric or leather that matches your covering material.
- Always select the tool size identical to the button size, e.g. 32er button blank with 32er tool.
- Each button size requires its own tool in the same size.
Typical applications by size
- Small button sizes suit fine fabrics, bridal wear, blouses or accessories.
- Medium sizes fit skirts, jackets, blazers, coats or designer clothing.
- Large sizes are often used for decorative textile designs and prominent button details.
