Custom Die-Cut Stickers for North New Hyde Park, New York

501 of the 3 inch button at $1.74 each, the 500 to 999 rate, 30 percent off, is $871.74 in buttons, the flat shipping charge on an order that size is $24.99, and the two together come to $896.73 before tax. What that total buys is 501 separate full colour buttons, each a three inch circle printed from artwork you send us, each with a pin fastening on the back. There is no setup charge folded into the figure and no bundle you have to buy into. It is the per button price multiplied by the count, with one postage charge added once at the end. That is the whole calculation, and it is the same calculation for an exhibitor in North New Hyde Park as for anyone else.

The breaks at 100, 250 and 500

Five sizes exist and nothing else: 1 inch at $1.49, 1.25 inch at $1.69, 1.5 inch at $1.89, 2.25 inch at $1.99, and 3 inch at $2.49. Those five numbers are the 1 to 99 rates. They apply at twelve buttons, and a thousand of any one size is a quote rather than an automatic price. The thresholds are printed, so there is nothing to hunt for and nothing to pad towards blindly.

People ordering handouts for a conference or an exhibit hall usually arrive expecting to negotiate against a ladder, because that is how most printed giveaways are sold. Here there is nothing to negotiate against. The useful consequence is that your budget arithmetic is honest from the first minute. If you know your unit price and your count, you know your button subtotal exactly, and you know it before you upload anything. Buy 100 of a size and all 100 are 20 percent cheaper each.

The one place where quantity changes the bill

Shipping is charged as a flat tier based on the total number of 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.

This is worth a second look before you submit, because the steps are hard edges rather than slopes. The worked example above sits one button past a boundary. At 501 buttons the order pays $24.99 for postage. At 500 buttons it pays $19.99. That single extra button therefore costs $2.49 for the button plus a $5.00 jump in postage. If the 501st button is genuinely needed, order it. If the number came from rounding up a guess, dropping back to 500 saves $5.00 and changes nothing else, because 500 and 501 both sit in the 500 to 999 band.

Choosing a size for a booth table

Trade show handouts get picked up at arm's length from a table, usually by someone walking past who has already been handed four other things. That argues for legibility over detail. The 3 inch button carries a mark and a short line of text that can be read while someone is still deciding whether to stop. The 2.25 inch takes a logo comfortably without a second line. The 1.5 inch is a lapel piece, better suited to booth staff wearing a small badge than to a bowl of giveaways.

Size sets the starting rate and the count sets the discount, so the size decision is still mostly about how much artwork has to fit. Going from 2.25 inch to 3 inch on 501 buttons is a difference of fifty cents per button and nothing more complicated than that.

What to send, and how it prints

You upload the artwork and we print it in full colour across the face. The print wraps the curved edge, so anything you want readable should sit inside the flat front rather than out near the rim, and any background colour should run past the edge of the circle so there is no pale halo. Centred marks survive this better than designs that hug one corner. If you are working from a booth banner or a slide deck, the usual fix is to lift the logo out and rebuild it on a clean square, rather than cropping a rectangle down to a circle and hoping.

Where North New Hyde Park sits, and what is next door

The straight line distance from the shop is 17.9 miles to the south west, in Nassau County. That is a straight line measurement, not a route.

The thing that matters more for an order is how tightly packed the surrounding addresses are. New Hyde Park is 0.6 miles away, Manhasset Hills 1.0 miles, Garden City Park 1.1 miles, Herricks 1.5 miles, and Floral Park 1.7 miles. Six tenths of a mile between one named place and the next is unusually tight, tighter than most of the areas we cover, and it means a delivery address in North New Hyde Park can sit closer to a neighbouring name than to the far side of its own. We cover all of those neighbours on the same rate table, so if your booth crew is spread across two of them nothing about the quote changes.

Four people who order these

The exhibitor with one show and a fixed budget. You have a number you cannot exceed. Divide it by $1.49, $1.69, $1.89, $1.99 or $2.49 and you have your ceiling in buttons, then add the one shipping tier that count falls into. No further adjustment.

The marketing coordinator running a season of events. Splitting one large run into several smaller ones costs nothing extra per button, but each separate order pays its own shipping tier. One consolidated order pays one tier.

The organisation exhibiting at a member conference. Buttons work as a low commitment handout for a booth where you want people to take something away and not feel sold to. A mark and a phrase is usually enough.

The recruiter working a careers fair. Booth staff in 1.5 inch, giveaways in 2.25 inch or 3 inch, one artwork file behind both, and a single order covering the whole table.

Common questions

We need 501 of the 3 inch button sent to North New Hyde Park. What is the exact total? $871.74 for the buttons at $1.74 each, the 500 to 999 rate, 30 percent off, plus $24.99 flat shipping, which is $896.73 before tax.

If our North New Hyde Park order gets bigger, does the price per button come down? Yes, within a single size. It comes down 20 percent at 100 of a size, 25 at 250 and 30 at 500, and a thousand of one size goes to a quote instead. Two sizes on one order climb two separate ladders. A larger count multiplies out at the same rate, and the only line that changes is which flat shipping tier the order falls into.

Is there a reason to order 500 rather than 501 buttons for a North New Hyde Park address? Yes, and it is purely postage. 500 buttons sits in the $19.99 tier while 501 crosses into the $24.99 tier, so ordering 500 saves $5.00 on shipping.

Mail for our North New Hyde Park office sometimes gets written as New Hyde Park. Does that cause a problem with an order? No. The label is generated from the street address you enter, so type it exactly as you normally write it and the order follows that.

Can a single North New Hyde Park order mix all five button sizes? Yes. Each size bills at its own band, set by its own count, and the shipping tier is worked out from the combined number of buttons on the order rather than per size. That is worth knowing if the combined count would push you across the 500 mark and into the higher tier.
