Button Supply Questions ▾
What supplies do I need to make a button?
Each pinback button set includes the parts you press together: a metal shell, a clear mylar cover and a prepinned pinback (1" sets use a collet back and pin). Print your graphic, cut it to size with a graphic punch or circle cutter, and press.
Are pinback button sets the same as button blanks?
Yes. Each pinback button set is a blank button kit: a metal shell, a clear mylar cover and a prepinned pinback, ready for your own printed design.
What is a pinback button?
A pinback button is a printed paper graphic pressed between a metal shell and a clear mylar cover, attached to a back with a pin so it can be worn.
Which size supplies do I need?
Buy supplies that match your button maker's size. A 2.25" machine uses 2.25" supplies. Not sure which size you have? See our button size guide.
What size is a standard button?
2.25" is the most popular button size and the one most people picture when they think of a button. 1" to 1.5" are common for smaller pins, and 3" to 3.5" for photo buttons.
Can I make magnets with my button maker?
Yes. We offer magnet sets that press on the same button maker as your pinback sets.
What paper should I use?
Regular printer paper (standard 24 lb bond) works best for most buttons. Photo buttons need a machine set up for photo paper, so contact us before ordering.
Do you carry supplies for Badge-a-Minit machines?
Yes. Shop our Badge-a-Minit supplies, sized for those machines.
Can I try a small pack first?
Yes. Pinback button sets come in a 10-set sample pack, and larger packs lower your cost per button.
Can schools order by purchase order or tax exempt?
Yes. Schools, libraries and government buyers can order by purchase order, and Net 30 is available for approved accounts. Tax-exempt customers apply through our online exemption form, and the exemption applies right away.
Can I pick up supplies locally?
Yes. Local customers can place a will call order and pick it up at our Plano, Texas office. Call (972) 985-5074 or email us to set up a will call order. A will call fee applies.
