Custom Die-Cut Stickers for East Setauket, New York

How many buttons does a wedding in East Setauket actually need? The honest answer is that it comes from your guest list and not from us, so the useful thing we can do is show you the arithmetic before you commit to a number. 1,000 of a single size is quoted by a person rather than priced automatically. The first button of a size costs the same as the last of it, because the band applies to the whole run, and which band that is depends on how many of it you ordered. That means you can settle your count first, price it in one multiplication, and only then think about the design. Most people planning favors find it easier that way round, because the count is the part that keeps moving right up until the seating chart is done.

The address line is the part worth slowing down on

East Setauket and Setauket share a name root, and the two sit close enough that a delivery address typed in a hurry can easily land one town off. If you are ordering from ZIP code 11733, put the full town name on the shipping line rather than the short version, and check it once before you submit. This matters more for favor orders than for most things, because favors usually go to a house rather than a business, and a house has nobody at a front desk to catch a misdirected box.

The same care is worth taking with the artwork itself. If your design has a place name printed on it, whether that is a town, a venue, or a road, look at it at full size on screen before you upload. A button is small and a name set in small type is easy to misread at the proof stage and impossible to change once the order is printed.

Five sizes, five prices, and nothing hidden underneath

There are five round sizes and no others. The 1.5 inch is $1.89 each. The 2.25 inch is $1.99 each. The 3 inch is $2.49 each. The three steps are 100, 250 and 500, counted per size. The small end is the 1 inch at $1.49 and the 1.25 inch at $1.69, which read as pins rather than badges.

For favors, the 1.5 inch is the common choice because it reads as a keepsake rather than a badge, and it sits flat on a place card or a napkin without dominating it. The 2.25 inch gives you room for two lines of text plus a small graphic, which suits a shower where you want names and a date legible from a table away. The 3 inch is the one to reach for when the artwork is genuinely detailed, a monogram with fine strokes, a photograph, or an illustration with small elements in it. At 3 inch the price per button is higher, but it is the same higher, which is the 1 to 99 rate for each size.

A worked example, in full

Say you are ordering 150 of the 1.5 inch button. At $1.51 each, the 100 to 249 rate for that size, that is $226.50 in buttons. An order of 150 total buttons falls in the flat shipping tier that runs up to 250, which is $14.99. Your order comes to $241.49 before tax.

Nothing in that calculation changes if you split the 150 across two designs, and nothing changes if you order 150 as a single design. The per button price does not depend on how many artwork files you uploaded, and the shipping tier is set by the total number of buttons on the order.

Where the shipping tiers actually sit

Shipping is flat and it steps by total buttons on the order. Up to 100 buttons is $9.99. Up to 250 is $14.99. Up to 500 is $19.99. Up to 1000 is $24.99.

That is the one place where your quantity is worth a second look. An order that lands just over 100 pays the same $14.99 as an order of 250. If your count has crept past 100 by a handful, you have two sensible options: trim back to 100 and pay the $9.99 tier, or accept that you are now in the middle tier and add the spares you were thinking about anyway. The spares do not get cheaper per button, because nothing does, but the shipping charge on the order will not move again until you pass 250.

Getting the file ready

Buttons print in full color from artwork you upload, so the file you send is the file that gets printed. Two habits save trouble. Build your design larger than the finished button rather than smaller, because a small image stretched up will show it. And keep anything you need readable, names, dates, initials, well inside the edge, since the printed sheet wraps around the curve of the button and the outer ring of your design curls away from the viewer.

If you are working with a designer or a stationer, ask them for the artwork as a square file with the important content centered. That single instruction removes most of the back and forth.

Shipping east, or coming to get them

East Setauket sits 15.8 miles east of the shop in a straight line, which is the number worth knowing if you are weighing shipping against free local pickup. Pickup costs nothing, so on a 150 button order it is the difference between $241.49 and $226.50 before tax. Whether that is worth the trip is entirely yours to judge. We cover the same ground either way, including Port Jefferson Station at 1.6 miles, Stony Brook at 2.0 miles, and Port Jefferson and Terryville at 2.4 miles each, all of them inside Suffolk County.

Four people these tend to be for

If you are a wedding planner running more than one event, keep each couple's buttons on its own order. Splitting a run across designs is free as long as the designs are the same size.

If you are the bride or groom handling favors yourself, decide the size before the design. The 1.5 inch and the 3 inch are different canvases, and artwork drawn for one rarely works when it is dropped into the other.

If you are hosting a shower, the 2.25 inch is usually the better middle ground, because shower favors often carry a name and a date together and that is two lines of text.

If you are ordering for a rehearsal dinner or a welcome table, count the people who will actually be in the room rather than the full invitation list. Those numbers are often different enough to move you between shipping tiers.

Questions people ask before they order

Our venue is in East Setauket but the invitations went out with the neighboring Setauket spelling. Does that affect the order? Not at all. The town on your artwork and the town on your shipping label are two separate things, and neither one changes your price. Just make sure the shipping label carries the address you want the box to arrive at.

Can one East Setauket order hold two different button designs? Yes. Upload both files and tell us the split. The per button price is unchanged and the shipping tier is still worked out from the combined total.

What does a 150 button favor order for an East Setauket shower come to? At the 1.5 inch size, $226.50 for the buttons and $14.99 for shipping, so $241.49 before tax.

Our East Setauket guest list has gone past 100. What actually changes? Only the shipping charge. You move from the $9.99 tier into the $14.99 tier, and you stay there all the way up to 250 buttons. A hundred of one size is the first point where the per button figure drops.

Which size should an East Setauket wedding favor be? If the design is a monogram or a name and date, the 1.5 inch at $1.89 handles it. If there is a photograph or fine detail in the artwork, go to the 3 inch at $2.49 so the detail reads clearly at print size.
