Local note
Why natural shell buttons in Tirupur
Tirupur is a knitwear town, so most garments carry few buttons — a polo placket or a henley front — which makes the button a small share of garment cost but a very visible detail. Knits stretch, so even thickness and clean holes matter for automatic machines and reinforced plackets.
We manufacture the buttons ourselves and dispatch to Tirupur by courier or transport. We have no office in Tirupur — orders are handled directly by phone, WhatsApp and email, with samples sent for approval before production.

Will shell buttons survive garment washing on knits?
Attach buttons after washing where possible. If they must go through your wash, test samples through the full recipe first; strong chemicals can dull the polish.
Which size is standard on a polo placket?
Usually 16L–18L; always follow the buyer's specification.
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.
