Promotional buttons are pinback badges, the round, square or oval buttons that fasten to a shirt, bag or lanyard, and they carry your logo or message on the face. They are not clothing buttons. Campaigns, schools, clubs and event teams order them in bulk because a button is easy to hand out and gets worn. For metal pins instead, see lapel pins, or go back to lapel pins and buttons to compare both.
Pinback Button Shapes and Sizes
Start with the shape. The Logo 3 Inch Diameter Round Button with Pin is the large round option, and sizes in other product names run down to one inch. The Custom Square Button with Pin, the Imprinted Rectangle Button with Pin and the Promotional Oval Button with Pin give a different silhouette for a badge that stands out in a crowd.
Buttons with Logo: Imprint and Materials
Many of these buttons are metal, and some list laminated paper with a metal back or tin with paper and lamination. Imprint methods listed are 4 color process, digital full color process and a custom option on the square, rectangle and oval styles. The pin back is a safety pin on most listings, and one round style lists an optional magnet back. Imprint details differ by style, so check the product page or send your artwork for a quote.
Bulk Buttons: Minimums and Lead Times
Minimums are set per style. Most button styles list 250 pieces, while the Button Bookmark Card with Three Pinback Buttons and the Round or Square Tin Button Badges list 100. Wholesale buttons run on the same per-style minimums. Listed production time runs from five to ten business days.
