ServiceWhether you require a high fashion button design or a utilitarian, hard working, long lasting button, it's all one and the same with YKK Snap Fasteners America. We have the types and styles that fit all your requirements.
Based on your application demands, YKK Snap Fasteners America has just the button you need. YKK Snap Fasteners America manufactures three basic types of buttons: Metal Collet, Swivel Collet, and Nylon Collet. One of these designs will offer the advantages to make it the right choice for your fastener needs.
As part of the YKK Snap Fasteners America basic
button line, all types are offered in variations ranging in sizes
of 22, 24, and 27 ligne. Combinations of nylon, steel, stainless
steel, brass, and other alloys can be assembled to create the
button you want and performance you need.
The YKK Snap Fasteners America Advantage
Metal Collet tack buttons can be attached
with either a 2-prong tack or a single prong tack. The Metal Collet
button -- attached with a 2-prong fastener offers secure
attachments -- prevents button rotation, and avoids button "pull
through." Another special feature is its ability to be applied to a
wide range of fabrics and foundation thicknesses with a high level
of security. The 2-prong fastener can be removed and reapplied with
minimal fabric damage. Other types of buttons can not offer such a
wide range of application variations with the same level of
security.
- Metal Collet buttons attached with a single prong tack offer a high pull through strength at a slightly reduced cost over 2-prong tack attached buttons.
- Swivel buttons offer a flexible rotation of the button body, while maintaining a securely attached base to the fabric. Swivel buttons are attached using a single tack aluminum fastener.
- Nylon Collet buttons utilize a molded plastic collet with a metal cap. They are attached with a threaded aluminum fastener to create a lightweight, low-cost alternative to the metal collet button. Reduced weight is an advantage for cost savings when shipping large volumes of product over long distances.
Note: All YKK Snap Fasteners America buttons are available with personalized logo
designs and special finishes to enhance the visual appeal and
technical performance of each button.
