FAQ

Questions buyers ask

Which diameters and thicknesses can you cut?

Horn button blanks are cut 6 mm thick in diameters of 12, 14, 16, 19, 21, 23, 26, 29 and 31 mm. Bone button blanks come in diameters from 12 to 26 mm. Buffalo and ox horn plates are 160 mm long and 2–8 mm thick. Toggles come in lengths from 20 to 60 mm, and rolls are 100 mm long and 25 mm in diameter. If you need a size outside these ranges, tell us and we will check with production.

Can you match our colour reference?

Yes. Send us a physical sample or a clear photo. We select the closest colour grade from our shade card and send samples for your approval before the order is packed. Horn is natural, so some variation within a grade is normal.

Do you sell by weight or by piece?

By weight. All horn and bone products are sold per kg, and the packing list shows the weight for each size and colour grade.

What is the minimum order?

100 kg. Tell us the sizes and colour grades you need and we will confirm the order.

Can we see samples before ordering?

Yes. We courier samples by size and colour grade so you can check colour, grain and finish before placing your order.

Can small orders ship by air?

Yes. Orders from 100 kg can ship by air freight from Chennai Airport. Larger orders ship by sea from Chennai Port, as LCL or a full container.
