Custom Die-Cut Stickers for North Hills, New York

A parent volunteer running a school spirit sale usually starts with the same three things: a folder of artwork somebody's kid drew, a headcount from the office, and a budget a committee already voted on. The job is to turn those into something a student will actually pin to a backpack strap, without the arithmetic going sideways between the planning meeting and the checkout page. That is the kind of order this page is written for: PTA runs, booster tables, class fundraisers, and whoever ended up holding the folder.

Pricing that a treasurer can read off one line

There are five round sizes and nothing else. The 1 inch button is $1.49 each, the 1.25 inch is $1.69 each, the 1.5 inch is $1.89 each, the 2.25 inch is $1.99 each, and the 3 inch is $2.49 each. The order total does not set the rate. A single size's count does. Do not inflate an order hunting for a discount. Do check whether your count for one size is a few short of 100, 250 or 500, because those three numbers are real.

Here is the run most school groups end up describing. 150 of the 3 inch button at $1.99 each, the 100 to 249 band rate, comes to $298.50 in buttons. Flat shipping on an order that size is $14.99, so the order lands at $313.49 before tax. A North Hills fundraiser committee can carry those three numbers into a meeting knowing the only things that move them are the size chosen and the count ordered.

Shipping is its own flat tier, set by the total number of buttons on the order, not by size and not by how many designs are in the mix. 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.

The line on the form worth slowing down for

North Hills has no ZIP code of its own on file with us. That is not a problem, but it does change where your attention goes when you place the order. Everything routes on the street address, so the street address is the field to read twice.

For a school order that usually means the building address exactly as it appears on mail the office already receives, including the suite, building, or department line if the school uses one. If the shipment is going to a volunteer's house instead, put the house address in and leave the school name out of the street line entirely, since a name in the wrong field is the most common way an otherwise clean order gets confused.

None of this asks anything special of you. It just means that on this order, the address is doing all the work a ZIP code would otherwise share.

How far away you are on the map

The straight line distance to North Hills is 16.2 miles, and the direction is south west. That is a map measurement, not a drive, offered only so you have a sense of the geography.

The same catalogue and the same published rate bands apply to the places immediately around you: Searingtown at 1.1 miles, Manhasset at 1.1 miles, Manhasset Hills at 1.6 miles, Albertson at 1.7 miles, and Herricks at 1.8 miles. That matters for school groups more than for most customers, because a district committee or a shared booster organisation often spans several of those places at once, and nothing about the pricing changes when it does.

Choosing among the five sizes

The 1.5 inch is the third of the five circle offered and suits a simple mark: initials, a mascot head, a single word, a class year. It does not hold a sentence well.

The 2.25 inch button is the one most spirit sales default to, large enough for a mascot plus a short line of text and small enough to sit on a backpack strap without swinging.

The 3 inch button is the one to reach for when the design has real detail in it, a full illustration, a multi line message, or student artwork you do not want to shrink into mush. It also reads from across a gym or a table, which is why it shows up on fundraiser orders like the worked example above.

Getting a square drawing onto a round button

Buttons print full colour from artwork you upload, and the thing that catches people out is the wrap. The printed circle is not flat: some of the outer ring curves over the edge and around the back of the shell. The practical rule is to keep anything you need read, text especially, pulled in from the rim, and let background colour be the part that runs off.

If you are working from a child's drawing, scan or photograph it flat and square rather than at an angle, and crop it to a circle yourself so you decide what falls off the edge instead of leaving it to chance. If a design has a border you love, treat the border as decoration and not a place to put words.

Whether to place one order or several

Splitting one size across several designs costs nothing, because the designs are added together for the discount. It can cost you more in shipping, since the tier is set by total buttons per order. A group selling at two tables that places two separate orders of 75 pays the $9.99 tier on each one, where the same 150 buttons on a single order pays the $14.99 tier once.

The reverse is worth watching too. An order that sits a little over 100 buttons has already crossed into the $14.99 tier, and it stays there all the way to 250, so if there was a second design you were unsure about, that is the range where adding it changes nothing on the shipping line.

If one of these is you

The PTA treasurer. You need a figure that survives being repeated by somebody else. Take the per button price, multiply by the count, add one shipping tier. There is no discount schedule to explain and no minimum to justify.

The art teacher with student work. You are likely bringing in several designs at once. Different designs on one order do not change the per button price or the shipping tier, so a class set of twenty different faces is priced exactly like twenty of the same one.

The booster parent running a table. You are thinking about what reads from six feet away while somebody is walking past. That is a size question, and it usually points at the 3 inch.

The class parent doing a small batch. A room of thirty is a normal order. The per button price is the same one the big fundraisers pay, and the order sits comfortably in the lowest shipping tier at $9.99.

Questions that come up on orders like this

Our school in North Hills has no ZIP code on file with you. What do we actually put on the order?

The full street address as the building already receives mail, including any suite, building, or department line. The address is what the order routes on, so accuracy there matters more than usual.

Can a North Hills order of 150 buttons be split across two sizes?

Yes. Each size is charged at its own ladder, climbed on its own count, and the shipping tier is set by the total count, so 150 buttons in any mix of sizes still falls in the $14.99 tier.

We are ordering 100 buttons for a classroom in North Hills. Does ordering more bring the price per button down?

No. Above 999 of one size the answer is a quote, so the published ladder stops there. Two figures move as the count grows: the rate band for each size, and the shipping tier for the order as a whole.

Our design has the school name running around the outer edge. Will that still be readable on a 1.5 inch button for a North Hills fundraiser?

Probably not as you have it. The outer ring of the circle wraps around the shell, so pull the lettering inward from the rim, and consider the 2.25 inch or 3 inch if the name is long.

Our North Hills group is selling at two separate tables. Is one order better than two?

One order is usually the cheaper route, because shipping is a single flat tier based on the total buttons rather than a charge repeated per order. Two orders of 75 each pay the $9.99 tier twice, while one order of 150 pays the $14.99 tier once.
