Wholesale Belt Buckles – Prong, Plate and Automatic

Belt buckles – the detail that is seen first

On a belt, the buckle is both the mechanism and the face of the brand. It must hold securely, must not chafe the leather and must withstand thousands of fastenings, while carrying the style of the collection. Polkom, a manufacturer of accessories, offers belt buckles wholesale to belt manufacturers, clothing brands and leather goods makers – standard models and buckles to your design, with custom finish and logo. We work with leather, textile, braided and elastic belts for women's, men's and children's collections.

Types of belt buckles

Prong buckles

The classic buckle: a frame, a bar and a prong that passes through a hole in the belt. Suitable for leather and denim belts and allows the belt to be changed easily.

Plate buckles

A solid front plate with a hook or stud on the back. The large surface is ideal for an embossed or engraved logo and for decorative motifs.

Automatic buckles

They grip the belt without holes by means of a toothed mechanism. They give precise adjustment and a clean, modern look on men's belts.

Buckles for textile belts

Adjusters, frames and clamps for webbing and braided belts. You will find suitable wire models in the metal buckles, and fashion buckles in the colour of the fabric in the polyester buckles.

Buckle types by belt width

The widths are common reference values. The exact buckle opening must match the width and thickness of your belt.

Durability and comfort

On a belt buckle, the prong and the bar take the most stress – they must be thick enough not to bend with daily fastening. The edges that touch the leather must be smooth so they do not chafe it or cut the stitching. A quality finish keeps its colour despite rubbing against clothing and contact with moisture. The buckle should also have a suitable keeper – a metal frame or leather loop that holds the loose end of the belt. The wire frames we offer in various widths are handy for this.

Materials and finishes

• Zinc alloy (zamak) – allows complex shapes, relief and a precise logo.
• Brass – a heavy, noble material that does not rust.
• Steel – a thin and very strong profile for work and technical belts.
• Polyester and plastic – light fashion and sports solutions.

Finishes include nickel, gold, antique brass, black nickel, gunmetal, matt and brushed surfaces.

Belt buckles with logo

The buckle is the most visible place for the brand. We make custom metal buckles with an embossed, debossed or engraved logo, as well as polyester buckles in the colour of the collection. The process is clear: you send a design, receive a sample, approve it and the production run starts. More about samples in Services.
