Buttons Printing

Button Printing From 1 Inch Pins to 3.5 Inch Faces

Button printing puts your logo, event or cause on a round pin from 1 inch to 3.5 inches across, or on a 2 by 2 inch square, a diamond or a 2 by 3 inch rectangle. Orders start at 50 buttons for $93.15 and step up through 100, 250, 500 and 1,000 to 3,000. People clip them to jackets, backpacks and lanyards at trade shows, merch tables and campaign rallies.

This category centers on Standard Buttons, the round pin-back everyone recognizes. Small businesses, schools, bands, churches and startups can use them to spread a message on a budget. When an idea runs past the standard sizes, Custom Projects can take it from there.

Metal Shell, Printed Face, Mylar Cover

Each button starts with a durable metal shell and a high-resolution printed face, sealed under a clear Mylar coating that shrugs off scratches and moisture. The pin-back holds up to daily wear without bending.

Your artwork prints in full-color CMYK, so gradients, photos, and detailed logos all come through sharp. The Mylar overlay gives the printed face a light gloss.

Pinback or Magnet Backing

Buttons come with a choice of backing. The Pinback style uses a locking pin so the button stays put on fabric. The Magnet style swaps in a magnet backing for name tags and surfaces where you'd rather not poke a hole. If a magnet button stands in for a staff badge, our guide on how to print name tags compares the badge formats and sizes.

Printing lands on the front face only, a four-color front with a blank back. That keeps the design bold and the back purely functional.

Artwork That Reads at Three Feet

A 1 inch button has room for one strong image or a short phrase; a 3 inch face fits a logo with a line of text under it. If someone can't read it from three feet away, the text is too small.

Set your file up as a PDF, AI, PSD, or EPS, with fonts outlined and colors in CMYK. That gives the press clean, predictable results the first time.

Buttons Alongside Bookmarks, Calendars and Giveaways

Size the button to where it goes: 1 inch or 1.25 inch for a lanyard or a tote strap, 2.25 to 3.5 inches when the button has to carry the message across a room. For a campaign kit, add Bookmarks Printing for a giveaway that sits on desks, or Calendar Printing for a piece that stays on a wall for twelve months. The wider promotional products lineup takes the same artwork rules as a button.
