Everything You Need to Know When Shopping for Badge and Button Makers

The right button maker can help you spread the word about your business, promote your cause, or even just share your thoughts with the rest of the world. They can be operated fairly easily and offer an economical alternative to outsourcing promotional button orders. Here is everything you need to know when shopping for a button or pin maker on eBay.

How do you choose an affordable button maker for your needs?

You want to make sure you invest in the right type of button press for your needs. Here are some tips that can help you make an informed decision.

What size buttons will you be making? Some button presses that are for sale can make multiple sizes of buttons and pins, while others are limited to a single size. In general, buttons range from 1 to 3 inches across.

Is this pin maker for business or pleasure? If you are going to be using your button maker kit for promoting a business, it may see more use than if you are going to be using it for occasional private events. Make sure you buy a machine that is designed for the amount of use you will be putting it through.

Machine size can vary, too. Consider storage when you are purchasing your button and pin maker. You can find everything from large tabletop machines to smaller, handheld ones for sale.

Button maker kits, supplies, and parts are available

When you buy a badge maker, you might want to consider some other parts and accessories that can help make button and badge making easier. Here are some options that you might find for sale:

• Paper cutters and punches to cut out your designs
• Assorted styles of backs to create pins, pencil and shirt clips, and repositionable stickers
• Transparent badge covers to protect your designs and create a professional appearance
• Metal button shells to attach your design to available in various sizes

What about buying a used button making machine?

Buying a used pin maker or machine can be an economical choice. Used presses can offer a solid value compared to new machines, and many that are for sale are only lightly used.

You can often find parts like die molds to refresh an older machine at a fraction of the cost of buying one new. This may help you purchase a button maker that is capable of making several sizes instead of a single size one or smaller hand punch.
