Trade tips

  • Waterproof delivery bags are nylon or woven PP: print bold colours, no fine detail.
  • Small accessories (keyrings, leather patches) should carry only the logo.
  • Paper labels do not like water: use plastic labels for fridges and bathrooms.
  • Gloss lamination deepens colours but shows fingerprints and glare under shelf lights.

What is the button pin sample printed on?

The sample is paper decal 80 gsm with gloss lamination.

Construction

A button badge is a domed metal shell, a round printed paper, a clear plastic film on top, and a back with a safety pin; a press crimps the three layers together, wrapping the paper's edge around the shell to the back. The back can be swapped for a magnet, keyring or small mirror.

Choosing board and material

Coated or photo paper of 100–150 gsm wraps the edge without cracking; the sample simulates an 80 gsm paper decal; paper that's too thick won't wrap neatly, too thin and it wrinkles. The clear PET film protects the print from scratches and damp.

Finishing

Clear gloss film is the default; matt film gives a paper feel and avoids glare in photos; metallic or glitter papers make badges stand out. Don't laminate the paper before pressing, as the PET film already covers it.

Preparing the print file

The print must be about 12–14 mm larger in diameter than the badge face to wrap the edge (per the press's die); the visible area is the face diameter, with the wrap visible on the curved side. Keep type in a safe zone about 3–4 mm inside the face edge, and run the background all the way into the wrap so the edge doesn't show white.

Common mistakes

  • Designing at exactly the face diameter: there's no wrap allowance, the edge shows white or won't press.
  • Type running to the edge: it wraps over the side and only half the line shows.
  • Using thick card: the wrapped edge cracks and the badge doesn't crimp tight.

Questions and answers

44 mm or 58 mm — which badge suits a logo with text?

58 mm for a logo with one line of text or a short slogan, readable from about 1 m; 44 mm suits a single symbol or initials and pins easily on tote bags and backpacks.

Can a 6–6.5 mm deep badge be pinned on thin fabric?

Yes, on tees, shirts and tote bags; a 58 mm badge is a little heavy and may droop on very thin fabric, so pin it near a seam or use a magnetic back.

What sizes do button badges come in?

Common sizes are 25, 32, 44, 58 and 75 mm; 44 and 58 mm are the most legible for logos and short phrases.

What resolution does a badge print file need?

300 dpi at the actual print size; a 58 mm badge needs a print of about 70 mm, roughly 830 px each way.

What are button badges good for?

Band merch, fan clubs, campaigns, events and conference giveaways; cheap, fast and fine in small runs with many designs.
