Button Sizing

Please send sufficient fabric, as the cutters are larger than the finished buttons. For lightweight, sheer, or open weave fabrics, please provide double the amount or include additional lining fabric.

For example, an ‘A4’ size piece of medium-weight fabric can produce approximately:

45 buttons in size 16L / 30 buttons in size 30L / 20 buttons in size 50L


HIGH-RISK FABRIC – We do not cover PVC or plastic finishes. Coverage may also be unavailable for leather, pleather, piped lace, brocade, unstabilized jersey, knit, or other stretch fabrics.
