How to Choose Urea Resin Products

Urea resin products include accessory items such as buttons, beads, buckles, and pins. Made from a urea-based material, they are characterized by excellent light resistance and heat resistance, and by their ability to express a buffalo-horn look.

If you want to give garments a buffalo-horn look, use resin buttons or plastic buttons; for decorative accents, choose beads; and when used as fasteners, buckles are a good guide. We mainly carry products from IRIS, Giraffe Button, and NITTO Button.

Customer reviews mention their light weight, natural impression, buffalo-horn appearance, simple and easy-to-match design, and matte texture. Some also say they want to allow for differences in appearance between the screen display and the sample when checking them.

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

Just the right button with a light and natural feel
I'd like to use wood buttons for fall/winter items, but I've been avoiding them because they're a little expensive and the larger the size, the heavier they look, but these buttons meet both of those requirements and are just right.

MESSAug 4, 2023
Good design for military jacket
The presence is just right for a military jacket, and just by adding this button, the quality of the clothes has improved.
It is also good that there is no worry about breaking because it is thick.

Picks from makers and suppliers

From the Brand / ManufacturerJul 29, 2026
Stone-look buttons with a refined feel at a lower cost
These buttons have a calm texture and are easy to match with outerwear such as jackets and coats.
Because they blend in easily with the textile without being too assertive, they are suitable for use in a wide range of items.
As this is a discontinued manufacturer item, we offer it at outlet prices.
They are also recommended for cost-conscious product manufacturing.
BF20 Stone-look Button ›
Supplier's PickApr 27, 2026
Classic standard button
A basic, simple urea resin button with four holes.
Highly versatile and a practical standard item suitable for slacks, jackets, and more.
It is still used by men’s garment factories today, and its track record of bulk orders and frequent shipments allows for stable supply.
It is easy to handle in terms of cost as well, making it an easy product to recommend for ongoing projects.

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 textile 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.
