Ordering Guide - Detailed

MODEL

The first step is to pick a model. You can pick from one of our models or you can create your own brand new, completely custom design. Please take a look at our online gallery section where you will be able to find detailed pictures of our offerings. We recommend reviewing our in-stock section first since it has a large variety of styles that we generally have almost ready to ship. 

When you view our gallery please keep in mind that the pictures are only for the purpose of viewing models/shapes, not the colors; colors are custom to each order.

You may also create completely custom models; in order to do so, you must provide us with a sample of the button. There is a small fee for new models which may be waived depending on the volume of order.

SIZE

You must specify the size (diameter) of the button. Please remember that sizing for square buttons is done diagonally and special shapes are done from furthest point to furthest point. Please take a look at our handy size chart, it translates lignes to millimeters and inches. Sizing ranges from 10L (0.25") to 52L (1.3").

COLOR

We offer an unlimited number of colors which can be specified by our customers in several ways. If you require an exact color match then you must provide us with either a Pantone color code or a physical color swatch. When exact matches are not required, then we accept non-specific color requests such as "black" or "light brown." Please refrain from using colors from the internet or making references to colors on our website as there may be a large difference in the way computer monitors display colors. Please do not search for Pantone codes online as they may look different on your monitor than they do in person.

POLISH

There are 4 different levels of polish: matte, semi-polish, polish and high polish. The most common and widely used finish is semi polish. Each level of polish adds more shine. Matte has no shine or reflection, Semi-polish has a natural looking shine and no reflection, polish has high shine and a some reflection, high polish has high shine and high reflection.

LASER ENGRAVING

Choose whether you want to personalize your button with laser engraving. We offer unparalleled freedom when it comes to creating custom engraved designs which may vary from simple letters to very complex, textured logos. Please keep in mind that complex logos will not work on smaller sized buttons as the design gets compressed too much. We accept art files in many different common formats such as JPG, PDF, AI, etc.

SPECIAL EFFECTS

Our R&D department is always hard at work developing new and unique finishes to add that special touch to your product. We now offer several innovative finishes, some of which you will find nowhere else, but here at Corozo Buttons. Effects include burned, blotch, crackled, and more.

We stock thousands of different variations of styles. If you would like to see some samples, simply contact us to get started. Generally sample requests fall within one of the categories below. 

• Sample card: Free with free US shipping. We may charge a shipping fee for samples going internationally.  
• Specific style sample requests: 
  
  In stock: We only charge shipping if samples require minimal or no alteration. If samples require  custom dyeing, laser engraving or any other form of moderate alteration we charge a small fee plus shipping.
  
  Not In Stock: We charge a fee plus shipping. This fee varies with the model and customization. Starts around $50. 
• Pre-production proofing: This is the most common request and cheapest for the customer. A bulk order needs to be placed ahead of time and then proofing samples are produced for approval prior to bulk production. In this case the samples are free unless the customer decides to cancel the bulk order. If the customer cancels the bulk order, they will be responsible to pay for the sample fees. 

Pricing is EX WORKS (shipping quotes will be provided separately once order details have been finalized)  and varies based on volume, model style, size and finish; more specifically the lower the volume, the more complex the style or bigger the size, the higher the cost. We do not include import costs of any kind in our pricing. 

Our minimum (MOQ) is 10 gross (1440 pieces) per model-size combination (item). An item would be a style in a certain size. You can have multiple colors within the MOQ. In addition, while many services such as custom DTM dyeing, custom polishing, and quality control are included within the base price, there are other services that are add-ons such as laser engraving and special effects.

Minimum quantity per color (MCQ) is 144 pieces. The first two colors are free, each additional color development is $7.

All charges will be fully discussed prior to placing an order.

We accept several forms of payment including Credit Card, Zelle, ACH, Wire, and Bank draft. Payment must be made in full before orders can ship unless otherwise agreed upon.

Lead times for in-stock items and samples is generally about 1 week. Custom manufacturing orders normally take around 2 weeks to complete. 

We ship worldwide via all major couriers like DHL, UPS, and FedEx or any courier of your choice, but recommend DHL for best results.
