Custom Pin-Back Buttons for South Farmingdale, New York

251 of the 2.25 inch button at $1.49 each, 25 percent below the listed rate, is $373.99 in buttons, and the flat shipping charge on an order that size is $19.99, so the total lands at $393.98 before tax. What that buys is a full colour button for every player on the roster, one for each parent, a handful for grandparents and cousins, and a reserve box for the people who show up later in the season and ask where everyone got theirs. It is an ordinary size of order for a team that has decided to put its crest on something people can wear on a jacket.

Five sizes and what each one costs

There are five round pin-back buttons and nothing else. 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 discounts are 20, 25 and 30 percent, each earned by one size's own count. They are the 1 to 99 figures, and three counts change them: 100, 250 and 500 of a single size. When you are working out a budget you can multiply and stop. The two to know about at the small end are the 1 inch at $1.49 and the 1.25 inch at $1.69.

The 1.5 inch sits neatly on a lanyard or a lapel without pulling. The 2.25 inch is the one most team orders land on, because it is big enough to carry a number and a name under the logo. The 3 inch is what people choose when a photograph is involved and the face needs to be recognisable from the far side of the bleachers.

The one number on the order worth nudging

The two things a bigger count changes are the band each size is priced in and the one shipping charge 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.

Which means the worked example above is sitting one button over a line. At 251 buttons the order pays $19.99 in shipping. At 250 it pays $14.99 and saves $5.00. The per button rate steps down at 100, 250 and 500 of a single size. This is purely a postage boundary, and it is worth a glance before you confirm a count. If your roster maths puts you just over one of those lines, ask whether the spares at the top are load bearing. If it puts you well clear of a line, ignore the boundary and order what you need.

An address carries the order here, not a postal code

South Farmingdale has no ZIP code of its own on file with us. That is the practical thing to know before you check out. Nothing is wrong with the order and nothing needs a workaround. It travels on the street address you type, line by line.

So the part to get right is the street line, the apartment or unit if there is one, and the name on the mailbox. If the buttons are going to a coach rather than to your own house, put the coach's name on the order, because a box of 251 buttons addressed to someone who does not live there is a box with nowhere to land. If the destination is a clubhouse, a field house or a business that keeps hours, use the address where somebody is actually standing.

Where this sits on the map

South Farmingdale is 11.6 miles from the shop in a straight line, due south, in Nassau County. That is a map measurement and not a route, so read it as a sense of proximity rather than a plan.

We cover the places immediately around you on the same terms, at the same published rate bands, with the same shipping tiers: North Massapequa at 1.7 miles, Plainedge at 1.7 miles, and North Amityville at 2.0 miles. If a team draws players from two or three of those at once, which most of them do, there is no reason to split the order. One order, one shipping tier, one box.

Artwork that still reads at two and a quarter inches

Buttons are printed in full colour from a file you upload, so whatever the team already uses can go straight on. The thing to watch is scale. A logo designed for the back of a jersey has room for a motto in thin lettering. A 2.25 inch circle does not.

Keep the important part central and give it margin, because the print wraps around the curve of the button and anything sitting hard against the edge curves out of view. A number and a single short word stay legible at that scale. A full sponsor list does not. For a player photograph, a head and shoulders crop at the 3 inch size is the version that works, while a full team photograph at any size becomes a field of faces nobody can pick out.

Counting the run before you place it

Start with the roster, then add one adult per player. Then decide whether you are covering siblings, because that is the number that quietly doubles an order. Add the coaching staff, then a spare box, and make that spare box a round number so the tier line is easy to see when you total everything up.

Who usually places this order

The team parent doing the organising: you have the roster in a spreadsheet and you are the one handing these out at the fence, so count for the families you actually see at games rather than the ones on the list, then add spares.

The booster or fundraising volunteer: if you are selling these rather than giving them away, the published bands keep the maths simple, because your cost per unit is fixed once the count for that size is settled, and the only other variable is the single shipping charge.

100 of the 1.5 inch is $1.51 each against $1.89 at one, because 100 sits in the 100 to 249 band.

The parent doing one player: senior night, a milestone game, a return from injury. This is a short run rather than a team run, the 3 inch at $2.49 each is the size that carries a face, and a count that small stays comfortably inside the $9.99 shipping tier.

Questions that come up

Will an order ship to South Farmingdale without a ZIP code on the form?

Yes. We have no ZIP on file for South Farmingdale, so the order is routed on the street address you enter. Fill in the street line, the unit number if there is one, and the recipient name, and that is sufficient.

Does a smaller South Farmingdale order pay more per button than a big one?

No. A short run pays the listed $1.49, $1.69, $1.89, $1.99 or $2.49 for its size, and a long one pays up to 30 percent less, decided by that one size's count. The rate is counted inside a single size and the shipping tier is counted across all of them.

Our South Farmingdale team needs 251 buttons. Is there a reason to order 250?

There is a five dollar reason. 251 buttons crosses into the $19.99 shipping tier, while 250 stays in the $14.99 tier. Every figure in the ladder is published, so if that one extra button is not doing real work, drop it.

How far is South Farmingdale from the shop?

11.6 miles in a straight line, heading south, within Nassau County.

Can one South Farmingdale order mix the five sizes?

Yes. Each size is charged at its own ladder, climbed on its own count, and the shipping tier is set by the total number of buttons on the order rather than by size. So 100 of the 1.5 inch plus a run of the 2.25 inch counts as one combined total, and whichever tier that total falls into is the shipping you pay. A mixed order totalling 250 buttons sits in the $14.99 tier the same as a single size order of 250 would.
