Product information "Button covering press set"

This practical complete set is perfectly matched and lets you start making covered buttons right away – whether with fabric or leather. The core components work together seamlessly, so you can get going immediately with the press, button tool and blanks.

The robust press combined with the matching button tool and the supplied blanks delivers clean, even results. With the spring-strike press, a circle cutter with holder and mat is also included in the scope of delivery, making it easy to cut your materials precisely.

A special advantage: the press in this set is versatile. With the appropriate extensions, you can also use it for setting eyelets, snap fasteners and hollow rivets – ideal for anyone who wants to work flexibly and expand their equipment.

This gives you a well thought-out set that not only makes getting started easier but also grows with your requirements in the long term.

What is always included in every variant?
Always: 1× press · 1× button tool · 50 button blanks. Additionally, only with the spring-strike press (FSP): button tool holder · circle cutter holder · circle cutter mat · circle cutter · centring pin · pressure pin. With TEP-2, toggle press (KHP) and screw press, the circle cutter, holder and mat are not included.
Is the circle cutter included in the set with every press?
No. The circle cutter, circle cutter holder and circle cutter mat are included only in the set with the spring-strike press (FSP). With TEP-2, toggle press (KHP) and screw press they are not part of the scope of delivery; you can order the circle cutter separately if required.
How do I choose the press and button size together?
The blank and button tool must carry the same size grade. In practice, TEP-2 and screw press remain suitable for button covering up to size 36 / 23 mm; from size 40, a toggle press or spring-strike press is recommended.
Why are there fabric and leather cover material options?
They correspond to different button tools: the fabric version for lighter fabrics, faux leather and very soft, thin natural leather; the leather version for leather and more hard-wearing upholstery fabrics.
What do the colours silver versus black or white mean?
Silver stands for a steel back part; black and white for plastic. Plastic back parts are not intended for leather covering.
What does the spring-strike press come with for the button tool?
The set includes the button tool holder instead of the 19 mm→9 mm bush, plus centring pin and pressure pin — for the correct 9 mm lower holder of the button tool on the FSP.
What does the size specification on the blanks mean?
It follows the usual button/cap size line with a millimetre reference; you will find detailed dimensions in the button blank listings and the measurement data, not as a complete table in this set.
Can I use other blanks?
Only at your own risk; reliable function is assured with Getmore-Crafts button blanks.
When is it worth moving up to a professional button machine?
For very high quantities or ongoing series production, the professional button machine or the professional set is usually the more efficient choice; this set nevertheless remains a sensible entry point with a matched tool chain.

Press

  • You can choose between the spring-strike press (FSP), toggle press (KHP), screw press and TEP-2. They differ in force, handling and production speed: compact lever presses are suitable for many hobby and small-batch jobs; larger blanks and heavy series workloads favour the KHP or FSP.
  • In practice, TEP-2 and screw press remain suitable for button covering up to size 36 / 23 mm; from size 40, KHP or FSP are the more suitable mechanical choice.

Cover material

  • Fabric (standard): For covering buttons with fabric — for thin to medium-weight fabrics, faux leather and very thin, soft natural leather. For fabric buttons: fabrics up to approx. 2 mm and faux leather 0.5 mm to 1 mm .
  • Leather: For leather buttons and upholstery buttons: leather 1 mm to 2 mm , upholstery fabrics 1 mm to 2.5 mm . Medium-weight leather and medium to thick upholstery fabrics; for when the fabric version does not suit your material.

Size

  • The size follows the usual button/cap size line with a millimetre reference (e.g. size 20 / 12.5 mm to size 60 / 37 mm in the measurement data). The blank and button tool must carry the same size grade; only change the size as a complete variant, not by mixing individual parts.

Colour

  • Black and white denote a plastic back part; silver stands for a steel back part. The visible cap is aluminium on all variants; colour/material refer only to the back part with the shank.

Material

  • The material attribute refers to the back part or rear side of the blank (plastic or steel) and corresponds to the colour logic. Plastic back parts are not intended for leather cover material and therefore cannot be selected in this combination.

Purpose

This set lets you cover button blanks completely with fabric, faux leather or leather – from precise cutting to the finished button. The press, button tool and blanks are matched to each other and, in combination with the included press, work together in one continuous workflow.

Workflow

  • Only with the spring-strike press do you first cut precisely fitting fabric or leather discs with the included circle cutter. Use the included holder and mat for clean, even results. With the TEP-2, toggle press and screw press, the circle cutter, holder and mat are not included – in that case, cut the material discs to size with your own tool.
  • Insert the lower tool part (with pin and spring) into the press holder. Depending on the press, fit the pressure pin if necessary or use the existing tool holder (on the TEP-2, the upper tool holder acts as the pressure pin).
  • Place the back of the button blank in the lower tool part with the shank facing down.
  • Place the fabric or leather disc in the upper tool part. Lay the button cap smooth side down on the material disc and press both into the tool.
  • Turn the upper tool part over and place it on the lower tool part.
  • Operate the press – the pressing process joins the button blank and material into a finished covered button.

Requirements

  • The button tool and button blanks in the set are already matched to each other and follow the same size logic. Only with the spring-strike press is a circle cutter with holder and mat also included; not with the TEP-2, toggle press and screw press.
  • The included press is prepared to suit the supplied button tool (depending on the variant, including the required holders and components).

Notes

  • Make sure the material discs are cut cleanly so that the button is covered evenly.
  • Work with even pressure to achieve an optimal result without creasing.
  • On the spring-strike press regularly check that inserted components such as the pressure pin or holder are seated firmly.

With Getmore Crafts products

  • In the chosen variant, the press, button tool and button blanks are matched to the same button size line and to the cover material. Only with the spring-strike press is the circle cutter set (circle cutter, holder and mat) also included – not with the TEP-2, toggle press and screw press.
  • Button tools have no thread at the top; they are used via the pressure pin and the 9 mm holder. The lower tool part uses the 9 mm holder via the 19→9 mm bush on the TEP-2, toggle press and screw press.
  • On the spring-strike press, using the button tool requires the included button tool holder instead of the 19→9 mm bush, plus centring pin and pressure pin.
  • Reliable function of the tool chain is assured with Getmore-Crafts button blanks; other blanks may differ.

With products from other manufacturers

  • Third-party blanks or tools may work, but this is not guaranteed; deviations in dimensions and tolerances can affect the fit.
