Wear Your Brand Where People Actually See It
Pin a logo to a jacket and your marketing gets up and walks out the door, riding the subway and working the room without a cent of ad spend. Custom buttons are the cheapest way to turn that logo into something people actually wear, starting at $93.15 for a set of 50 and rated 4.9 out of 5 across 68 reviews. You hand one over at a show, a rally, or a merch table, and it lands on a jacket, a tote, or a lanyard where everyone sees it. The whole front prints in full color, so a band logo, a campaign slogan, an event date, or a face all read clean and bright, which is why bands sell them, campaigns pin them on volunteers, brands drop them in gift bags, and schools hand them out on the first day. Bands can plan the rest of the merch table with our article on print marketing for bands.
At volume a button costs pennies, and the person wearing it carries your design out of the room on a jacket or a tote. Keychains, badges and magnets share the promo shelf on buttons printing.
A test set of 50 costs $93.15. A tour or a campaign needs a full box, and at 3,000 each button costs about $0.45 across the 9 tiers.
What Are Custom Buttons
Custom buttons are small pin-back or magnet-back badges printed full color on the front, in 11 sizes and shapes, from a 1" round up to 3.5", plus square, diamond, and rectangle options. You order them where a flyer would get tossed: band and tour merch, campaign and rally pins, conference giveaways, brand swag, school spirit pins and cause badges. Worn on a bag or a lapel, the design keeps going after the event ends. If you want a promo item people clip to their keys instead, the Keychains do the same job in a different pocket.
What Size and Shape Should Your Buttons Be
The right size comes down to how loud you want the button to be. A 1" or 1.25" round is subtle, the kind you clip to a bag strap. The 2.25" round is the true campaign-button size, big enough for a slogan and a name. Step up to 3" or 3.5" when you want the button to be the statement, not the accent. Prefer a different silhouette? The 2" x 2" square and the 2" x 2" diamond read modern and stand out in a stack of circles, and the rectangles, up to 3.5" x 2.5", give a wordmark room to stretch. All 11 sizes and shapes are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.
Pinback or Magnet Backing
Every button ships with one of two backings, and it is one of the first choices you make. Most people stick with the standard pinback: it has a locking pin, so the button clips to fabric and stays put through a whole event, and it comes at the base price. Choose the magnet backing when you do not want to poke a hole in the fabric, or when the button needs to sit on a fridge, a locker, a filing cabinet, or a name tag. The magnet holds flush and lifts off clean. It adds a flat $45 to the order. If a fully magnetic promo piece is what you are after, the Magnets are built around exactly that.
How Do You Design Custom Buttons
Start from one of the free layouts in our design templates, part of the 10,000+ design templates across 4OVER4, then change the colors, copy and logo in the online editor. Keep the main mark in the center, because the outer band of the print wraps around the rim of the shell.
Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. Each blank template is built at the real trim size with the bleed and safe area already drawn in, so your design never crowds the round cut. Grab the size that matches your order below, drop your art in, and upload. Before anything prints you choose Straight To Production to move fast, or a Free Online Proof to eyeball the layout first.

Real Buttons Our Customers Printed
Every button size and shape
Eleven sizes and shapes run on the same press, all printed full color across the whole front. Round is the default. Square, diamond and rectangle exist because a logo that is wider than it is tall wastes half of a circle.
| Shape | Sizes | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Round pin | 1 inch up to 3.5 inches | The small rounds are the volume giveaway at a table or in a goodie bag. The 3.5 inch round is the one people read across a room, so it holds a slogan, a photograph or a campaign message. |
| Square | 2 x 2 inches | Logos built on a square lockup, album art, and any hard edged layout a circle would crop. |
| Diamond | 2 x 2 inches, set on the point | Stands out on a jacket already covered in round pins, and suits a mark with a strong center. |
| Rectangle | Up to 3.5 x 2.5 inches | Wide wordmarks, names, event dates and staff identification, where a line of text has to stay on one line. |
Set your artwork so nothing important sits at the very edge. The printed sheet wraps around the rim of the shell on every shape, so the outer band of the design curves away from the person looking at it.
Backing options
Every button ships with a standard locking pinback included in the base price, the metal pin that clips shut so it does not spring open in a pocket. If you would rather not put a hole in whatever the button is going on, a magnet backing is available for $45 more and holds on a fridge, a filing cabinet, a name badge or a coat lapel without piercing anything.
Pin is the call for events, merch tables and campaigns, where the volume is high and the button is going onto fabric that nobody minds putting a hole in. Magnet is the call for corporate and conference name badges, hotel and hospital staff, and anyone wearing a jacket or a uniform they do not want punctured.
How Fast Can You Get Custom Buttons
Buttons print on a 5 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 4-day, 3-day, 2-day, Next-Day, or even Same-Day production. Each step buys back time for a set percentage on top of the base price, from 15% for 4-day up to 100% for Same-Day, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Same Day orders need to be approved by noon EST to ship that day. 99.8% of our orders land on time and 82% ship early, so you are not gambling on the date.

Custom Buttons: Frequently Asked Questions
What shapes can custom buttons be made in?
There are 11 sizes and shapes. Round pins run from 1 inch up to 3.5 inches, and there are also a 2 inch square, a 2 inch diamond, and rectangles up to 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches. Round is the familiar badge shape, while the rectangles suit a name, a slogan or an event date that reads better on a wide layout.
Do the buttons come with a pin or a magnet?
A standard locking pinback is included in the base price. A magnet backing is available for $45 more on the order, which holds the button on a shirt or a lapel without putting a hole through the fabric. Magnet backing is the usual choice for uniforms, suits and anything a wearer does not want pierced.
What is the minimum order and what do buttons cost at volume?
The smallest set is 50 buttons from $93.15. The quantity ladder runs across 9 tiers, and by 3,000 the cost falls to about $0.45 a button, which is why campaigns, festivals and merch tables order in the thousands.
Will a photo or a gradient print cleanly on a button?
Yes. The whole front of every button prints in full color, written as 4/0, so photos, logos and gradients come out sharp rather than being limited to flat spot colors. On the 1 inch size keep text large and contrast high, since a small round face leaves little room for fine type.
Which size should I choose for an event handout?
The 1 inch and 1.5 inch rounds are the cheap giveaway sizes that people pin to a bag or a lanyard, while the 2.5 inch and 3.5 inch rounds carry a full slogan or a face and read from across a room. Larger buttons cost more each, so many organizers order a small size for the crowd and a large one for staff and volunteers.
How quickly can buttons ship?
Standard turnaround is 5 business days, with 4-day, 3-day, 2-day, Next-Day and Same-Day rush options. Pick the speed in the builder, and add shipping transit on top of the production window when you are working to a show date.
