DT 201F Automatic Button Making Machine (Punching + Button) – Applications & FAQ

The DT 201F Automatic Button Making Machine is a fully automatic button forming and attaching system designed for high-efficiency production in the garment, footwear, handicraft, leather goods, and stationery industries. It combines punching and riveting (clinching) in one seamless operation, significantly improving productivity and reducing manual labor.

The DT 201F is suitable for the riveting of snap buttons, eyelets (corns), and nails of various materials. Typical applications include:

• Clothing & Apparel: Snap buttons on jeans, jackets, shirts, children's wear, workwear, and uniforms.

• Footwear: Eyelets, rivets, and decorative buttons on shoes, boots, and sandals.

• Handicrafts & Leather Goods: Fasteners on bags, belts, wallets, purses, and other leather accessories.

• Stationery & Other Items: Folders, tags, cases, and general fastening applications.

Punching and riveting are completed at one time, eliminating the need for separate hole-punching and button-attaching processes.

The DT 201F supports a wide range of button and fastener types:

• Four Button (Snap Buttons / Four-Part Buttons)

• Corns (Eyelets / Grommets)

• Double Side Nail Clasp (Double-Sided Rivets / Nail Clasps)

• I-Shaped Rivets

• Tacks

• Plastic buttons (ABS/PVC)

• Hybrid material buttons (metal + plastic combinations)

This versatility makes the machine suitable for both standard and specialized fastening requirements.

Common Questions

1. What exactly does this Automatic Button Making Machine do? Does it “make buttons” or “attach buttons”?

The DT 201F integrates both functions, with the core being “forming + clinching” in one process.

This machine is a fully automatic button forming and attaching system, applicable for:

• Metal buttons (snap buttons, I-shaped rivets, tacks): Automatic feeding → punching → clinching, completed in one cycle.

• Plastic buttons (ABS/PVC): Forming via hot/cold pressing with molds, while simultaneously assembling the cap and bottom.

• High-end models support hybrid material buttons (metal + plastic) automatic production and attachment.

In short: Feed the fabric, output a finished/attached button.

This integration eliminates separate button manufacturing and attaching steps, saving time and floor space while improving consistency.

2. What materials can this machine handle? Can it do both metal and plastic buttons?

Yes, depending on the model configuration:

• Metal button model: Suitable for snap buttons, I-shaped rivets, eyelets, and tacks in copper, iron, aluminum, and stainless steel. Standard equipment includes a vibration bowl feeder.
  Output: 40–60 pcs/min.

• Plastic button model: Suitable for thermoplastics such as ABS and PVC. Hot-press forming via molds.
  Output: 80–120 pcs/min (depending on mold cavity).

• Hybrid model (high-end): Supports integrated forming of composite buttons (e.g., metal base + plastic cap).

⚠️ Please confirm before purchase: Do you need a “metal button attaching machine” or a “plastic button making machine”? Their mechanisms differ. This ensures you receive the correct configuration for your production needs.

3. Does the machine automatically punch holes?

Yes. The machine comes standard with a “punching + clinching” synchronous station.

• For metal buttons: The machine automatically punches (or reams) the hole, then immediately feeds and clinches the button. No fabric pre-treatment is required.

• For plastic buttons: Plastic buttons usually have no prongs. They are either heat-bonded directly or clinched through the fabric with a special bottom die.

⚠️ Note: For extra-thick materials (e.g., multi-layer denim, webbing), confirm if the punching force is sufficient. An upgraded punching cylinder is optional for heavy-duty applications.
