Custom Pin-Back Buttons for Levittown, New York

There are two honest ways to end up holding your finished buttons, and it is worth choosing between them before you order rather than after: collect the box in person, or pay the flat shipping fee and have it sent. Levittown sits 12.6 miles south west of the shop in a straight line, far enough that neither answer is automatically right. Some people are going that way anyway and would rather collect and pay nothing. Others would rather put a known shipping figure on the budget line and stop thinking about it. Both are fine.

Why the address line is doing all the work

We hold no ZIP code on file for this town. That is a statement about our records and nothing more, but it has a practical consequence: your order is routed by the street address you type, with no secondary field backing it up. So type it out in full. Building number, street, apartment or suite or unit if there is one, and a contact name matching whoever will be there to take the box.

This matters more than usual for group orders. A fundraiser committee often ships to a hall, a school office, a church or a clubhouse rather than to a home, and those buildings often have a second address line that people leave off out of habit because everyone local knows the place. Put it in anyway. The delivery name and the name on the payment do not have to match, but the delivery name should be the one that will be recognised at the door.

Five sizes, and the bands they share

We make round pin-back buttons in five sizes and nothing else.

• The 1 inch, $1.49 each
• The 1.25 inch, $1.69 each
• The 1.5 inch, $1.89 each
• The 2.25 inch, $1.99 each
• The 3 inch, $2.49 each

Every one is printed in full colour from artwork you upload.

One rate per size per band, and every size uses the same band boundaries. It is the same for ten buttons and the same for a thousand. You no longer have to guess where the break sits, which means you can order your real number and then look up whether a few more would cost less. One ladder is counted inside a size and the other across the whole order, which is why they do not step together.

What a 250 button order actually comes to

Take a typical group quantity: 250 of the 2.25 inch button. At $1.49 each, 25 percent under the 1 to 99 figure, that is $372.50 in buttons. An order of that size falls into the $14.99 flat shipping tier, so the order comes to $387.49 before tax.

The full shipping ladder, counted on total buttons across the whole order:

• up to 100 buttons, $9.99
• up to 250 buttons, $14.99
• up to 500 buttons, $19.99
• up to 1000 buttons, $24.99

Notice where 250 falls. It is the last quantity in the $14.99 tier, so 251 buttons moves the shipping line to $19.99. That is a five dollar difference for one extra button, worth knowing before someone says "let us round it up to 260, just in case." Take the spares if you want them, but take them knowingly. Working the other way, a headcount of 240 plus ten on the shelf stays in the same tier at no change to shipping. The buttons themselves cost what they cost either way.

Artwork when the buttons are the giveaway

For a charity walk or a fundraiser handout, the button is the thing people take home, so the design is doing a job. A single design in quantity is the simplest thing to work from a table: the name of the walk or the cause, the year, and one strong graphic element. If you are recognising sponsors, decide early whether the logos go on the button or stay on the banner, because a button carrying five logos reads as none.

A second design in a smaller quantity, for the people working the event, is easy to add. A different colour field at the same size does that job.

Keep anything you care about away from the outer rim. The printed sheet wraps around the curved edge, so a border sitting tight to the edge of your file will bend out of sight. Let the background run past the trim rather than stopping at it.

Which of the five sizes to choose

The 1.5 inch is the modest one. It sits on a lapel or a bag without taking over and suits a short word or a single mark. It is not the pick if a sentence is involved.

The 2.25 inch is the one most group orders are built around. There is room for a line of text, a date and a graphic together, and it is still small enough to wear without noticing it.

The 3 inch gives you the most surface. Pick it when the button has to be legible from a few feet away, which is usually the case for marshals, registration tables and anyone who needs to be findable in a crowd.

Nearby towns on the same coverage list

Levittown is one of several Nassau County towns we cover, and the surrounding ones are close enough that a shared order between neighbouring groups is a normal thing to do. North Wantagh is 1.6 miles away, Plainedge 1.9 miles, Bethpage 2.3 miles, East Meadow 2.4 miles and North Bellmore 2.6 miles. Because the flat shipping tier counts total buttons on the order rather than designs, two groups placing one order together pay a single shipping figure instead of two. The price per button is unchanged by that, as it is by everything else.

Four kinds of order we see

The committee chair running a walk. You have a headcount, a budget approved by a board, and a need to state the line item exactly before you spend it. The published per button rate and the published shipping tier let you write that number down first.

The team captain collecting pledges. You want something small to hand to everyone who gives, and you want it to look like it belongs to the larger event. The 1.5 inch at $1.89 is the size to look at.

The volunteer coordinator. Your problem is not the participants, it is knowing who is staff at a glance. A second design in a small quantity, at 3 inch, solves that inside the same order.

The family organising a memorial walk. Precision matters here in a way it does not in a commercial order: a name spelled correctly, a date correct, a photograph placed where you want it. Check your uploaded file at full size before you submit, because the file we receive is the file we print.

Questions we are asked

Can I collect a Levittown order in person instead of paying to ship it? Yes. Local pickup is free, and you choose between pickup and shipping at checkout. Weigh the free collection against the flat shipping figure for your quantity, which for a 250 button order is $14.99.

There is no ZIP code on file for Levittown, so what do I enter at checkout? Enter your full street address exactly as mail reaches you, including any apartment, suite, unit or room line, plus a contact name. That address is what routes the order, so completeness there matters more than anywhere else on the form.

What does 250 of the 2.25 inch button come to for a Levittown charity walk? $372.50 for the buttons at $1.49 each, 25 percent under the 1 to 99 figure, plus $14.99 flat shipping, which is $387.49 before tax.

If a Levittown group orders 500 buttons instead of 250, does the price per button drop? Yes, as long as the count is for one size. 250 of the 2.25 inch is $1.49 each and 500 of it is $1.39 each, because 500 reaches the 500 to 999 band. 500 of the 2.25 inch is $1.39 each against $1.49 at 250, because 500 sits in the 500 to 999 band. The order has two step functions in it now, the rate band and the shipping tier.

Can a Levittown fundraiser put more than one size or design on the same order? Yes. Mix sizes and designs freely. Each button is priced at the published rate for each band for its own size, and the shipping tier is worked out from the total number of buttons on the order rather than the number of designs in it.
