Custom Pin-Back Buttons for Mount Vernon, New York

New Rochelle sits 2.9 miles off, Yonkers 3.4 miles the other way, and the Bronx 5.0 miles beyond that, which puts three of the places we already cover within a short hop of each other. Manorhaven is 8.0 miles out and Kings Point 8.4 miles, so a club whose membership is spread across that cluster is not really dealing with distant outposts. We make round pin-back buttons in five sizes, printed in full colour from artwork you upload, and this page is written for the organisers in Mount Vernon who buy them by the box. Below those sit two smaller sizes: the 1 inch at $1.49 and the 1.25 inch at $1.69.

Three ZIP codes on one membership list

Most of the places on this site sit inside a single ZIP code. This one carries three: 10550, 10552 and 10553. For a club secretary that detail stops being trivia the moment the roster gets long enough to split. Members in 10550 and members in 10553 are on the same list, but they are not on the same delivery route, and if you are sending boxes out to two or three officers rather than one, the postal codes on those labels will not match.

The practical consequence is about how you group an order, not about what it costs per button. Designs at the same size pool for the discount and different sizes never do, so a mixed order does not combine its way into a band. What it does change is the shipping, which is a flat tier based on the total number of buttons on a single order. Three separate orders of 100 pay three separate shipping tiers, while one order of 300 pays one. If it suits your club to have everything land with one person who then hands boxes on, that is the cheaper structure.

The five sizes and what they cost

There are five sizes and nothing else.

The 1.5 inch button is $1.89 each. It is the small one, the pin you hand out freely at a table and do not expect back.

The 2.25 inch button is $1.99 each. This is the size most people picture when they picture a button, big enough to hold a club name and a logo without crowding.

The 3 inch button is $2.49 each. It gives you room for a full crest, a chapter number, a year, and legible text underneath all of it.

Those prices do not move. One and a thousand of one size are not the same rate any more: one pays the listed rate, and a thousand of a single size is where a quote takes over from an automatic price. Two steps instead of one: find the band for that size's count, then multiply.

A worked order for a club of 251

Say the roster is 251 and the officers want the 3 inch button so the chapter crest reads properly across a room.

251 at $1.87 each, the 250 to 499 band rate, comes to $469.37 in buttons.

An order of that size falls into the $19.99 flat shipping tier, so the total is $489.36 before tax.

Now look at that 251 again, because it is one button over a line. The shipping tiers run up to 100 at $9.99, up to 250 at $14.99, up to 500 at $19.99, and up to 1000 at $24.99. An order of 251 clears the 250 boundary and lands in the $19.99 tier. An order of 250 stays in the $14.99 tier and saves $5.00 on postage. The buttons cost $2.49 each below a hundred of the 3 inch and $1.99 each from a hundred of it, so the count is exactly what the per button price depends on. Whether one spare button is worth five dollars is your call, but it should be a decision rather than an accident.

The same arithmetic applies at every boundary. If your count sits at 101, or 251, or 501, check whether trimming a single button drops you a tier.

Artwork, colour and what to send

Buttons are printed in full colour from the file you upload, so a crest with four colours in it costs the same as a plain two colour badge. That matters for club and society work, because chapter insignia tends to carry gradients, seals, ribbons and small lettering that a limited colour process would flatten.

Two things are worth thinking about before you upload. The round shape means the edge of your artwork wraps around the curve of the button, so anything you place right at the rim will sit on the side rather than the face. And the size you choose changes how much text stays readable: a chapter name, a founding year and a slogan all at once is a lot to ask of the 1.5 inch button, and is comfortable on the 3 inch.

Distance, and what it means for your order

The straight line distance from the shop is 23.2 miles, roughly west. That is a measurement on a map rather than a route, and it is not a drive time. It is mentioned here only because it puts the cluster in perspective: you, New Rochelle, Yonkers and the Bronx all sit at broadly the same remove, and we cover each of them on the same terms. Nothing about the button price or the shipping tier changes with the mileage.

For the club secretary

You are the one holding the roster, and the roster is the order. Count the names, multiply by the size price, then check whether your count has crept past a shipping boundary before you commit.

For the membership drive organiser

Drives run on handouts, and handouts go to people who are not on any list yet. Ordering spares is cheap in the sense that each extra button is charged at the same band rate as the rest of that size, but it is not free, and a big spare allowance can push you into the next shipping tier.

For the officer covering more than one chapter

If two chapters share a design but sit in different postal codes, decide early whether you want one consolidated order or one order per chapter. The listed figure is the 1 to 99 rate, and it improves at three points above that. The number of shipping charges is not.

For the committee ordering annual pins

Annual pins repeat, and repeat orders are easiest when the artwork file and the size are written down somewhere your successor can find. The price per button you pay this year is the price per button for the first ninety-nine of a size, so the next committee can plan from your figures without guessing at a scale.

Questions organisers actually ask

Does the price per button drop if my Mount Vernon club orders 500 instead of 100?

Yes. 100 of the 2.25 inch is $1.59 each and 500 of it is $1.39 each, because 500 reaches the 500 to 999 band. A size's own count picks its rate, not the order total. 100 of the 2.25 inch costs $1.59 each, and 500 of it costs $1.39 each, which is the 500 to 999 rate. Nothing about the rate changes until one size reaches 100.

Our roster in Mount Vernon is 251 people. Is there any reason to order 250?

Yes, one. 251 buttons clears the 250 boundary and puts the order in the $19.99 shipping tier, while 250 buttons stays in the $14.99 tier. That is $5.00 of postage. The buttons cost $2.49 each in the 3 inch size either way.

My Mount Vernon members are spread across 10550, 10552 and 10553. Can I ship to three addresses?

Each delivery address is a separate order, and each separate order carries its own flat shipping tier based on its own button count. Sending one box to a single officer is the cheaper structure. Sending three is entirely possible, it just carries three shipping charges instead of one.

What does shipping cost on a button order going to Mount Vernon?

It depends only on the total number of buttons. Up to 100 is $9.99, up to 250 is $14.99, up to 500 is $19.99, and up to 1000 is $24.99. The size you pick does not change the tier.

Do you cover the places next to Mount Vernon as well?

Yes. New Rochelle at 2.9 miles, Yonkers at 3.4 miles, the Bronx at 5.0 miles, Manorhaven at 8.0 miles and Kings Point at 8.4 miles all have pages on this site, on the same published rate bands and the same flat shipping tiers.
