FAQs

Our buttons come in 7 sizes, each with two kinds of backs.  If you are SEWING on your buttons, you want to order the wire-eye loop backs. If you are CRAFTING and will be gluing your buttons onto things, you want to order the no loop/plain backs.

The sizes are labeled this way:

• #20 – 1/2″ across or 13 mm  
• #24 – 5/8″ or 16 mm
• #30 – 3/4″ or 19 mm
• #36 – 7/8″ or 22 mm 
• #45 – 1 1/8″ or 28 mm 
• #60 – 1 1/2″ or 38 mm  
• #75 – 1 7/8 or 47 mm

We also sell two-part cover buttons with teeth (listed under Brass Cover Buttons). Those buttons are imported; we don’t make those. Those come in these sizes:

• #24 – 5/8″ or 16 mm
• #30 – 3/4″ or 19 mm
• #36 – 7/8″ or 22 mm 
• #45 – 1 1/8″ or 28 mm 
• #60 – 1 1/2″ or 38 mm  
• #75 – 1 ⅞” or 47 mm
• #100 – 2 ½” or 63mm 

No. Since you are ordering directly from the factory, we can send you 1 button or 1 million buttons. (For large orders, please contact us via email to set up a wholesale account.) We package them in lots of 50 or 100 as that’s the most common, but we can send you any number you need.

The tools are two pieces of molded plastic, one that holds the button shell and fabric, the other that helps snap the two parts of your button together.
Each size of button has its own tool. And yes, you really do need one.

No. The buttons for machines are built a little differently. Our buttons are designed to be assembled by hand and get crushed in those machines.

We will refund any unopened packages within 30 days.

If we receive your order before 2 p.m., it usually ships that day. We ship most orders via the U.S. Postal Service, and delivery usually takes 3-5 days to most locations. (We are in south-central Florida.)

For an additional charge, you can upgrade any shipment to Priority Mail, with delivery usually 1-3 days to most locations. 

Please note that as a small business, we do not have any control over the U.S. Postal Service. Most of the time, it performs as expected, but occasionally, a delivery will take longer than normal. If you have not received your order within 15 days, please let us know and we will help you find a solution.
