The 3.5" Coaster Button Set is the complete supply for turning a 3.5" button into a working drink coaster: front shell, mylar cover, flat recessed metal back and adhesive cork. Every set is built to American Standard 3.5" sizing and made in the USA.
Coaster buttons are pressed on the 3.5" Photo Button Maker with the 3.5" Round Photo Coaster Insert seated in the upper die, which gives the coaster its flat face. Sets come in packs of 100, 500 and 1,000.
The coaster insert is required. Place the insert magnet-side up in the upper die and make sure it is fully seated before you press. Pressing with the insert out of place will damage it, and we are unable to replace an insert damaged by improper seating. See our step-by-step coaster guide before your first press.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in each 3.5" coaster button set?
Each set includes a front shell, a clear mylar cover, a flat recessed metal back with dimple and an adhesive cork backing. Add your printed design and press it on a 3.5" button maker with the coaster insert.
Do I need the coaster insert to make coasters?
Yes. The 3.5" Round Photo Coaster Insert goes magnet-side up in the upper die and gives the coaster its flat face. Make sure it is fully seated before you press. Pressing with the insert out of place will damage it, and we are unable to replace an insert damaged by improper seating.
Which button maker makes coasters?
Coasters are made on the 3.5" Photo Button Maker (Model 350) with the coaster insert. 3" button makers do not make coasters.
What size should I cut my coaster artwork?
Cut coaster graphics to 4.000" in diameter. The 3.5" Graphic/Photo Punch cuts this size from printer paper or photo paper, or you can set the Adjustable Circle Cutter to 4".
Can I make photo coasters?
Yes. The 3.5" Photo Button Maker presses printer paper or photo paper on the same machine with no adjustment, so you can print photos for coasters.
Can I buy replacement cork for coasters?
Yes. Our cork disks are 3" self-adhesive circles made for 3.5" coaster backs, sold 200 per pack.
