Metal Hardware, Fasteners and Accessories for Textiles and Footwear.
Metal hardware, fasteners, and accessories are important elements of both the function and visual identity of apparel and footwear. From durable rivets in denim to branded zipper pulls or custom buckles, these components must combine design precision with consistent performance in production and washing.

Through global sourcing, in-house design support, sampling, prototyping, and strict quality control, Trimco Group helps brands bring reliable and customized metal trims into production.
Metal Fasteners:
Buttons, Rivets, Zippers and Eyelets — Metal fasteners are essential components used to secure, reinforce, and structure garments and footwear. These elements must perform reliably under repeated wear and washing while maintaining consistent appearance across production runs.
Trimco Group supports the development of a wide range of metal fasteners, including:
/ Jeans buttons and snap buttons.
/ Reinforced rivets for denim and workwear.
/ Zippers and custom zipper pulls.
/ Grommets and eyelets for garments and footwear.
Each component can be customized with branded molds, logo embossing, engraving, or decorative finishes. Our development process ensures that fasteners meet both design specifications and durability requirements.
Decorative Hardware:
Buckles, Clasps and Metal Branding Elements — Metal accessories are often used as signature design elements in apparel, footwear, bags, and accessories.
Trimco Group supports brands with customized decorative hardware such as:
/ Buckles for belts, straps, and footwear.

/ Branded zipper pulls.
/ Metal patches and emblems.
Through custom tooling and surface treatments, your brand can create distinctive hardware that integrates seamlessly into your collections.
Custom Metal Hardware Development — Metal trims require specialized expertise in materials, finishes, and tooling. Even small variations in plating or production processes can create inconsistencies in color, durability, or performance.
At Trimco Group, our teams support brands throughout the development process, including:
/ In-house trim design.
/ Custom molds and tooling.
/ Sampling and prototyping.
/ Global sourcing.
/ Production quality control.
This structured approach helps ensure that metal hardware meets both functional requirements and visual expectations before entering large-scale production.
We are using a range of materials depending on product requirements, including: Zinc alloy, Brass, Stainless steel and Aluminum.
All components are developed with attention to regulatory requirements, including REACH compliance, supporting brands in meeting international product standards.
Solving Common Challenges with Metal Hardware — Metal hardware is highly visible within garments and accessories, but it must also with stand demanding conditions such as repeated washing, friction, and long-term use.
We help your brand solve challenges such as:
/ Inconsistent finishes across production batches — Minor variations in plating or coating can result in noticeable color differences between production runs.
/ Durability issues during washing and wear — Low-quality metal accessories may corrode, fade, or detach after repeated washing cycles.
/ Structural weaknesses in buttons and rivets — Improper fastening can lead to rivets loosening or buttons failing under stress.
/ Quality variations across multiple suppliers— Managing metal hardware from different vendors can create inconsistencies in both appearance and performance.
Through strict quality control procedures and extensive experience with metal trim production, Trimco Group helps brands maintain reliable hardware quality across global manufacturing.
