Before everybody had a social media account, we had jackets covered in buttons. Honestly, the jackets were doing a better job.

Turn your artwork, band logo, strange little drawing, political opinion, market branding or deeply specific inside joke into real pin-back buttons made right here at the UAC Print Lab.

AVAILABLE SIZES

1″ CIRCLE

Tiny, loud and perfect for band logos, artist marks, miniature declarations and filling every remaining inch of a denim jacket.

2.25″ CIRCLE

The classic big button. More room for artwork, lettering, portraits and opinions that refuse to whisper.

1.75″ × 2.75″ RECTANGLE

A larger rectangular canvas for posters, photographs, longer messages, name badges and designs that simply refuse to fit inside a circle. Available in portrait or landscape orientation.

SMALL BATCHES ARE WELCOME

Package pricing applies to one button size and one identical design. Need multiple designs? Order a separate package for each design.

WHAT IS INCLUDED

Every package includes:

• Full-colour printing
• Standard metal pin backs
• Clear protective button film
• Artwork inspection
• One digital proof
• Button pressing and assembly
• An unreasonable amount of satisfaction when the first one comes out of the machine

ARTWORK REQUIREMENTS

Upload a high-resolution JPG, PNG or PDF at 300 PPI, or provide vector artwork as an AI, EPS, SVG or PDF file.

Button artwork wraps around the sides during assembly, so please provide an image with plenty of extra background around the outside. We recommend leaving approximately 20% additional background or artwork on every side of the important content.

Keep faces, lettering, logos, QR codes and other essential details near the centre of the image. Do not submit a tightly cropped design—anything too close to the edge may curve around the side or disappear into the button-making abyss.

For circle buttons, upload square artwork whenever possible. Your image will be cropped into a circle, so the corners will not appear on the finished button.

Rectangle artwork can be supplied in portrait or landscape orientation.

We will place your artwork into our production template and send you a digital proof showing the expected crop before production begins. If the file does not contain enough background for the required wrap area, we will contact you before proceeding.

Basic artwork positioning is included. Extending backgrounds, rebuilding missing image areas, removing backgrounds or redesigning artwork may require an additional artwork-preparation charge.

THE SERIOUS BIT

We print the artwork you approve. Check spelling, dates, colours, phone numbers and QR codes carefully. A typo on one button is unfortunate. A typo on 100 buttons is merchandise.

Pricing includes basic artwork inspection and positioning within our button template. It does not include logo design, extensive retouching, background removal or rebuilding low-resolution artwork.

Need help preparing your file? Artwork vectorization and scanning services can be added separately.

Standard production time is approximately 3–5 business days after proof approval. Larger quantities may require additional time.
