Create your buttonsCompare all five sizes

Five sizes. Actual relative size.

This is the part that is hard to picture from a number. The 3 inch face is 3 times the diameter of the 1 inch and therefore 9 times the area.
The 5 button sizes drawn at true relative scaleCircles at their real relative size, resting on one line. 1 inch is 1 inches across, 1.25 inch is 1.25 inches across, 1.5 inch is 1.5 inches across, 2.25 inch is 2.25 inches across, 3 inch is 3 inches across. Doubling the diameter quadruples the printable face, so the largest disc is drawn visibly four times the area of the smallest rather than twice its size. The dashed ring inside each face is that size's safe area for artwork.1 in1.25 in1.5 in2.25 in3 in

Drawn at true relative scale. Discounts are counted per size, never across sizes.

The whole price list, including every discount.

Most button sites make you ask for volume pricing. Here is the entire ladder, every size and every band, with nothing behind a form.
The regular rate for each size, with the diameters beside it. The volume bands are in the table below.

Discounts are counted per size, never across sizes. Above 1,000 of a single size we price the run with you instead. This safe area is a conservative guide pending measurement, not a measured figure: the tooling for 1 inch and 1.25 inch has not been put on calipers yet, so the figure is set tighter than the real safe circle is likely to be.
Price per button in each band. The quantity is counted one size at a time, so this is what you pay once you reach that many of THAT size, across as many designs as you like.

Discounts are counted per size, never across sizes. 50 of one size plus 50 of another is 100 buttons and earns nothing, because neither size reached 100. 50 plus 50 of the SAME size in two different designs is 100 of that size, and both lines get 20% off.

Discounts are counted per size, never across sizes. Past 1,000 of a single size the configurator stops pricing it automatically and we work the run out with you, because a run that large is planned rather than looked up.

Discounts are counted per size, never across sizes. 50 of one size plus 50 of another is 100 buttons and earns nothing, because neither size reached 100. 50 plus 50 of the SAME size in two different designs is 100 of that size, and both lines get 20% off. The reason is physical rather than administrative: each size is its own press setup and its own die, so volume on one does nothing to amortise another.

There is no order minimum. One button is a valid order at its regular rate, the configurator accepts up to 1,000 per design, and past 1,000 of a single size we work the run out with you rather than pricing it automatically.

How it works

Four steps, and you can do all of them in a few minutes.

  1. Pick your size

    1 inch, 1.25 inch, 1.5 inch, 2.25 inch, 3 inch. Each one has its own page.

  2. Upload your artwork

    A logo, a photo, a design, a scan. We print it full color across the whole face.

  3. Choose your quantity

    1 to 1,000 per design, at the same price per button either way.

  4. We make your buttons

    Printed, punched and assembled in the shop. We get in touch first if the file needs a decision.

Create your buttons

Your artwork, printed edge to edge

One thing about buttons surprises almost everybody, and it is worth knowing before you make a file: the printed circle is bigger than the button.
A 3 inch button and its three diametersThe printed circle is 3.451 inches across and the sheet is punched at that diameter. The finished button is 3 inches. Artwork that has to stay readable belongs inside the 2.875 inch safe circle. The hatched ring between the finished face and the cut line folds over the metal shell and crimps underneath, so nothing printed in it is visible on the finished button.Cut line3.451 inFinished face3 inSafe area2.875 inThis ring folds under the shell

Make your file this size and fill it edge to edge. The hatched ring is punched with the button and then folded underneath, so it can carry background and nothing else.

Safe area, 2.875 in863 px at 300 DPI
Keep text, a logo edge, a face or a code inside here. The button curves away before it reaches its own rim, so art that stops at the face is already tilting out of view.

PNG, JPG and PDF all work, and a vector PDF or a large PNG with a transparent background is cleanest for a logo. We print at 300 dots per inch across the whole face and we keep your original upload rather than a flattened preview, so the production file comes from what you actually sent.

You do not need design software to order. One good image of your logo or your photo is enough.
