Same button, different artwork
Buttons for business, schools and organizations
Business and retail
| Use case | What goes on it | Suggested size |
|---|---|---|
| Logo buttons | Your mark edge to edge. A short mark beats a full lockup; drop the tagline. | Any |
| Staff and employee badges | First name, role, department, language spoken. | 2.25 inch |
| Restaurant and bar promos | A new dish, happy hour, seasonal special, tip jar prompt. Cheap enough to swap with the menu. | Any |
| Retail and market stalls | Register giveaway, craft fair add-on, or a wearable coupon. | Any |
| Trade shows and conferences | Booth staff ID, a pocket sized giveaway, or a set people return for the missing one of. | Any |
| Openings and anniversaries | A date, a number, a one-off design for a single afternoon. | Any |
Schools, camps and teams
| Use case | What goes on it | Suggested size |
|---|---|---|
| School spirit and pep days | A mascot, a year, a class, a colour. | Any |
| Open houses and orientation | Visitor, guide, new family, staff. | 2.25 inch |
| Summer camps | Group and cabin ID, week themes, counsellor badges, an award that is not a trophy. | Any |
| Clubs, bands and teams | Roster buttons, senior night, a crest, a tour date. A photo button wants the larger face. | 3 inch |
| Reading and behaviour incentives | Something small, repeatable and wearable. | 1.5 inch |
Causes, fundraisers and community
| Use case | What goes on it | Suggested size |
|---|---|---|
| Fundraisers | Sell at a fixed price; the margin is easy to work out because cost per button never moves. | Any |
| Awareness and remembrance | A ribbon, a name, a date, a portrait. | 3 inch |
| Volunteers and marshals | Who is staff, who is a volunteer, who to ask. Quantity matches the sign-up sheet. | Any |
| Places of worship and civic groups | Welcome teams, newcomer badges, a congregation event, a lodge or chapter mark. | Any |
| Local events and festivals | Wristbands suit access control; buttons suit identity, and people keep them. | Any |

Several designs cost the same as one
The price is per button, not per design, so 200 buttons split across four designs cost what 200 of one design costs.
There is nothing to negotiate
The price does not drop at volume: nobody has to ask for a better number, and the table above is all of it.
The online ceiling is 1,000 per design
Above that, call us so the run is planned with a person rather than dropped into a queue. The price per button does not change.
Pick the size for the reading distance
Name badges want a face readable across a counter; giveaways and spirit pins can be smaller. A photo or more than a few words means go up a size, not up a quantity.
If you are sending a logo, read the artwork guidelines first. A logo pulled from a website or a slide deck is usually too small for the larger sizes, a five minute fix before you order and a reprint after.
