How to Choose Cast Products

Cast items are parts made from alloys such as tombac (red brass), aluminum, and zinc. They are materials that can be cast into a variety of shapes, and in this list we handle buttons mainly, as well as zipper pulls and buckles and rings. The products from DAIYA BUTTON and IRIS are the main focus.

For designs ranging from jackets to workwear, metal buttons that can be selected by surface finish and shape are suitable. If you want a three-dimensional effect created by combining different materials, colors, and surface designs, you can choose combo buttons. A pull is a part used to grip a zipper with your fingers and move it. In customer reviews, the transparency and premium quality of the buttons used for dresses, as well as the finished look, are mentioned.

This introduction was written by AI based on product data, reviews and the ApparelX Wiki.

Elegant flat button
They are simple, but give a stylish impression. We often see clothes with flat buttons like this in stores, so it makes sense that they are ordered frequently.

Frequently asked questions

QWhite buttons look yellow. Depending on the size, buttons with the same color number may appear to be different colors.
For polyester materials and similar, if the item is white or a light color, the button color may discolor due to the production lot or aging.
If you absolutely need the colors to match, there are methods such as using a dyeable type and dyeing it to match the fabric color.
However, even after dyeing, the color may still discolor over time, such as after 5 to 10 years.
QCan button samples be arranged?
We are sorry, but we cannot provide button samples free of charge. Orders can be placed starting from a minimum of 1 piece, so please place your order from each product page.
QHow long does delivery take if the buttons are dyed?
It varies depending on the quantity and number of colors, but if it is around 1 to 3 colors, shipment is possible in about one week.
QIs it possible to laser engrave buttons (add a logo)?
It may be possible depending on the type of button. If you would like a quotation, please contact us from the Support Page with the following details for your logo engraving request:
・button product number
・size
・color
・quantity
・logo data (please send Illustrator, PDF, or other data that shows the logo design)
We will contact you with details such as whether it is possible and a quotation.

*Laser engraving cannot be done on nylon, acrylic, or glass materials. Thank you for your understanding.
QIs dyeing possible even for shell buttons that are not coated?
Yes, it is possible. However, an additional coating fee and coating lead time will apply. For details, please contact us from the Support page.
