Button Maker?

[mr jones]

Hey all,

Do we have a button maker at the shop?  I'm looking for one that makes buttons  1" or 1 1/2".

Thanks!

I have one I can bring in; it's a little old and does 1.25 or 2.25" buttons.  It'll need parts.

Patrick,

That sounds awesome! What kinda "needs parts" is this? I assume at a minimum the button pieces. What else.

Thanks again!

Cheers,

Just button pieces far as I know. It uses "badge a minit" button parts. It takes a bit of practice to get your buttons printing nicely and it's hard on the wrists to use for extended runs, but I bet there are synshop solutions to its shortcomings.

Patrick,

Thanks for the info! This looks like the only place to get it (direct, no Amazon):

That look right to you?

Yeah, those are the ones. I used to get mine off ebay, but the price is probably conferrable.

this is basically how the Badge a minit process works. It's definitely served me well for years of small conventions, but If you intend to make a lot of buttons, a machine more like this might be worth the investment:
