The three sizes, side by side

Drawn at true relative scale, from the same numbers the press runs on. 1.5 inch, 2.25 inch and 3 inch.
The 3 button sizes drawn at true relative scaleCircles at their real relative size, resting on one line. 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.1.5 in2.25 in3 in

Drawn at true relative scale. The price is per button and does not change with quantity.

Sizes, prices and safe areas

This is the entire catalog and the entire price list. Nothing is held back.
Your file is made at the last column and fills it edge to edge. The finished button is the second.

No volume tiers. None.

Worth saying plainly, because every other button site you will open today has a price ladder on it.

Ten cost the same each as five hundred, with no break point and no minimum: a single button is a valid order. The configurator accepts up to 1,000 buttons per design, above which you call us so the run is planned with a person. Splitting a quantity across several designs costs the same as putting it on one, each as its own cart line.

What it actually costs, by quantity

Every total below is the quantity times the price for that size. Nothing is added except sales tax at checkout, and the shipping charge in the table underneath it.
Every total is PRE-TAX. New York sales tax is added at checkout, and the rate depends on where the order is going, so a tax-inclusive figure printed here would be wrong for anybody outside New York reading the same table.

1$1.89$1.99$2.49
10$18.90$19.90$24.90
25$47.25$49.75$62.25

250$472.50$497.50$622.50
500$945.00$995.00$1,245.00

Because the price per button is flat, there is no quantity that unlocks a better rate: order the number you actually need. For scale, 1.5 inch at 1 is $1.89 before tax, and 2.25 inch at 100 is $199.00, exactly half of its $497.50 total at 250, because the rate per button never moves.

How a button is put together

Three steps, and the third is the one that decides whether your artwork works.

  1. Printed

    Your artwork at 300 dots per inch across the full face, rather than scaled up from a preview.

  2. Punched

    The sheet is punched wider than the finished button: 3.451 inches for a 3 inch.

  3. Assembled

    Crimped between a metal shell and a pin back under a clear mylar film, and that extra ring folds underneath.

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.

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.
