School Button Maker FAQ
Is a button maker safe for students?
Yes. Our presses use a cam-on-roller design that takes very little force, so students can press their own buttons. A low center of gravity keeps the machine from tipping, mounting holes let you secure it to a table, and the Graphic Punch in every School Series kit has no exposed blade.
What size button maker is best for a school?
The 2.25" is our most popular size and the standard for spirit buttons, name badges and election buttons. Step up to the 3" or 3.5" when you want more room for photo buttons and fundraisers.
What is the difference between a School Series kit and a regular button maker kit?
The machine is the same. School Series kits differ in their software package, which includes the School, Sports & Fun design collection, and every School Series kit comes with a Graphic Punch with no exposed blade.
Do you accept school purchase orders?
Yes. We accept purchase orders and tax exemptions from schools, districts, libraries and government agencies, and Net 30 terms are available for approved accounts. See our purchase order page, or add a kit to your cart and choose "Download a quote" for an instant PDF quote, good for 15 days.
How quickly do school kits ship?
Most orders placed by 1 PM Central on a weekday ship the same day, and every School Series kit ships free by UPS Ground in the lower 48 states. If you have an event date coming up, call us at (972) 985-5074 and we will confirm timing.
