Why natural shell buttons in Chennai
Chennai (Madras) export units work to buyer trim sheets with firm in-house dates, so planning the button at proto stage avoids late-trim delays. Leather jackets and outerwear here can also use larger 28L–36L shell buttons as a distinctive alternative to horn or metal.

How do I read a trim line like "MOP 18L 4H"?
MOP is mother of pearl, 18L is about 11.4 mm, 4H is four holes — followed by shade, finish and thickness.
Can you lock the button at proto stage?
Yes; approve samples with your lab dips so bulk is not held up by trims.
Do you offer samples before a bulk order?
Yes. Samples of your chosen size, hole type and shade are sent before production starts, so you can check them on your own fabric and machines.
What is the minimum order?
Stock sizes usually start at 500 to 1,000 pieces per size for wholesale pricing; the exact figure is confirmed in your quote. Retail packs are available on our online shop.
