A Setting Die Made for Your Selected Jeans Button
This 17 mm (0.67 in) / 27L jeans button setting die set provides the upper and lower tooling required to join a jeans button cap with its matching tack. It is intended for denim garments, workwear, heavy textile products, repairs, sampling and workshop production.
Although two buttons may both be described as 17 mm, their dome profile, cap depth, internal cup, edge shape and tack connection can be different. For this reason, this item is prepared according to the actual jeans button selected by the customer rather than diameter alone.
Required Order Information
Write the exact product code of the jeans button in the “Order Notes” field at checkout. A note that only says “17 mm” or “27L” may not provide enough information to prepare the correct die.
What Does This Tool Do?
The upper die supports the visible jeans button cap while the lower die positions the tack or lower component during pressing. When both parts match the button structure, they help keep the components aligned and distribute pressure more evenly during installation.
The die does not replace the button, tack, press or hole-cutting tool. It is the shaped tooling used between the press and the jeans button components.
Who Should Choose This Product?
- Denim garment manufacturers using a specific jeans button model
- Workshops replacing a die that does not match the button cap
- Sample rooms preparing prototype jeans or jackets
- Alteration and repair businesses working with denim closures
- Boutique producers installing buttons in small or repeated batches
- Users working with domed, logo, patterned or plastic-cup jeans buttons

Why Diameter Alone Is Not Enough
The 17 mm measurement describes the nominal outside diameter, but it does not identify the full shape of the button. The visible cap may be flat, domed, engraved, logo-embossed or supported by a plastic or metal cup. The underside and tack engagement point may also vary.
A die selected only by diameter may leave the cap unsupported, apply pressure to the wrong area or fail to hold the tack in the correct position. The product code allows the die to be prepared for the actual button construction.
Compatibility Limitation
Do not assume that this die will fit another 17 mm button. A different cap profile or tack structure may require a different upper die, lower die or complete die set.
How to Submit the Correct Order
- Select the jeans button you plan to install.
- Copy the exact product code from its product page.
- Select the press connection option that matches your equipment.
- Add the die set to your cart.
- Paste the jeans button product code into the order notes.
- If your button was purchased elsewhere, contact E-Buttons to confirm whether a physical sample is required.
Orders without a confirmed button reference may require additional information before production can begin.
Press Connection Check
The product page currently offers M8 and M6 connection options. These options refer to the mounting connection used between the die and the press or tool.
Check the thread and mounting system of your press before selecting an option. Do not choose the connection only by measuring the visible outside width or by comparing photographs.
Package Contents
- 1 upper setting die
- 1 lower setting die
Jeans buttons, button tacks, a press machine, hand tool and hole cutter are not included unless separately selected or purchased.
Typical Applications
- Jeans and denim trousers
- Denim jackets, coats and waistcoats
- Denim skirts, shorts and overalls
- Heavy cotton garments and workwear
- Denim bags and textile accessories
- Garment samples and production trials
- Clothing repairs and button replacement
- Small workshops and repeated production
Before You Start Pressing
- Confirm that the die was made for the exact button being used.
- Check that the upper and lower dies are installed in the correct positions.
- Place the button cap fully and evenly inside the upper die cavity.
- Verify that the tack matches the button and the fabric thickness.
- Check whether the fabric requires pre-hole preparation.
- Start with controlled pressure rather than maximum force.
- Inspect the cap and tack after the first test installation.
Test Before Repeated Production
Use the same button, tack, fabric layers and press setting intended for the final product. Excessive pressure can mark or deform the cap, while insufficient pressure can leave the components loose.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this setting die fit every 17 mm jeans button?
No. Buttons with the same nominal diameter can have different cap profiles, cup structures and tack connections. The die is made for the exact button stated in the order.
What should I write in the order notes?
Write the exact product code of the jeans button you plan to install. The size alone may not identify the correct cap and tack structure.
What if my jeans button was purchased from another supplier?
Contact E-Buttons before ordering. A physical button sample or additional technical information may be required to manufacture the correct die.
Are the upper and lower dies both included?
Yes. The package contains one upper setting die and one lower setting die.
Does the package include jeans buttons or a press?
No. Jeans buttons, tacks, presses and hole-cutting tools are not included unless separately selected or purchased.
How do I choose between the M8 and M6 options?
Check the mounting thread and connection system of your press or hand tool. Choose the option that matches the equipment rather than selecting by appearance.
Can I use the same die after changing to another button design?
Only if the new button has the same cap profile, underside and tack connection. A different design should be checked separately before use.
Is a sample installation necessary?
Yes. Test the complete combination of button, tack, fabric, die and press setting before repeated production.
