About button moulds and other parts of buttons; button blanks

HS code 960630 covers the production of button moulds and other parts of buttons, as well as button blanks. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader textile and apparel manufacturing sectors, providing essential components for the assembly of finished products. The global button industry is a multi-billion dollar market, driven by the ongoing demand for clothing, accessories, and other textile-based goods across a wide range of consumer and industrial applications.

Production process

The production of button moulds and parts typically involves a combination of injection molding, stamping, and finishing processes. Manufacturers use specialized machinery to shape and form the button components, often from thermoplastic materials like polyester or nylon. The button blanks, which serve as the base for the final button design, may be produced through similar molding techniques or by cutting and shaping metal or other materials.

Production inputs

The key inputs for this industry include thermoplastic resins, metal alloys, and other raw materials used in the manufacture of button components. Specialized molds, stamping dies, and other production equipment are also essential. Depending on the specific button design, additional inputs such as decorative elements, fasteners, and coatings may be required.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are the button moulds, parts, and blanks that are then used in the production of finished buttons. These components are typically consumed by 950610 Buttons, press-fasteners, snap-fasteners and press-studs, button moulds and other parts of these articles; button blanks manufacturers, as well as by 621600 Gloves, mittens and mitts and 950700 Slide fasteners and parts thereof producers, who incorporate buttons into their final products.
