Sew through buttons have holes in the button blank (the main part of the button). There can be two or four holes, which are used to sew the buttons onto a garment. Shank buttons have a “hidden” hole protruding from the back of the button.
Appearance. Designed with a hollow protrusion structure in the rear, shank buttons are also referred to as buttons with hidden holes. These buttons are sewn onto the garments through the hollow protrusion using the sewing threads. Flat buttons are also referred to as buttons with visible holes.
