Traditional Pin-Back Button

The standard backing choice is the pin-back button style, which allows you to wear your custom buttons with the clip of a jewelers pin.

A pin-back button can simply be fastened to a shirt, hat, or bag using the jeweler’s safety pin mechanism. Cool fact, the first design for a pin-back button was patented in 1896. Modern buttons are modeled after that patent in very much the same way! Patent holders, Whitehead and Hoag said, “My present invention has reference to improvements in badges for use as lapel pins or buttons, or other like uses, and has for its primary object to provide…a novel means for connecting the ornamental shell or button to the bar or pin for securing the badge to the lapel of the coat.”

While pin-back buttons may not seem like much of an invention, in 1896, zippers hadn’t even been invented! Early campaign buttons had to be sewn onto the lapel or worn as a pendant. So the pin-back button was quite the revolutionary product.

Today, the pin-back buttons is the most cost effective option for those who are on a budget. From sizes starting at 7/8” all the way to 6” with rectangles, squares, and ovals in between, there is a button size and shape for every need! To order standard pin-back buttons, click here!

Clothing Magnet

If you’d rather your buttons not poke holes in your clothes, the bar magnet is a great choice! This small, powerful magnet is a fantastic backing option for larger buttons that might stretch clothes if they were attached with a pin. This back is also a great option for places that want to reuse their custom buttons amongst employees, or have a lot of buttons to choose from.

For instance, a fast food restaurant might order their custom buttons with a bar magnet, and just keep them all in a drawer in the main office. Employees can easily swap out the buttons each shift without poking dozens of holes in their uniforms. Our clothing magnets come in two different sizes, a small round magnet and a bar magnet.

Depending on the size of the buttons that you order is what size clothing magnet will be used for your order. Both are powerful magnets and even stick to magnetic or metal surfaces like refrigerators! To order clothing magnets, click here!

Bulldog Clips

Bulldog clip backs look a lot like badge clips. The bulldog clip is attached to the back of the button and can easily be clipped onto a lapel or pocket so you don’t have to push a pin through your shirt. Bulldog clips are also great for attaching ID tags to lanyards. To order bulldog clips, click here!

When choosing how your employees or customers are going to wear your buttons you have to figure out how they will be wearing them. If they will constantly be removing and putting the button back on, a bar magnet or bulldog clip fastener is probably a better choice because those won’t poke holes in their clothes. However the downside to those types of backings is, they can be a little more expensive, so if you are designing your custom buttons on a budget the traditional pin-back button style might be a better choice.

Other Backing Options

Other than the standard pin-back buttons, clothing magnets, and bulldog clip backing options, we also have Zipper Pulls®, Fridge Magnets, Bottle Openers, and Mirror Backs. These backing types have some limited size options due to how they are made.

Zipper Pulls®

Zipper Pulls® are a 1” or 1.25” button that has a backing that allows it to be clipped to a zipper. They are an advertising tool for a variety of industries including sports teams, ski resorts, schools, trade shows, and more! They are a great way to show off your brand or create awareness. To order Zipper Pulls®, click here!

Fridge Magnets

Fridge magnets are a way to show off your custom button designs on the refrigerator or a metal surface. The custom button magnets are made using the same production process, however the backing type parts are different. Fridge magnets use a flat back metal part or an unpinned back (depending on the size of the magnet button). This type of magnet is stronger and longer lasting than the flexible fridge magnets you would normally see. To order fridge magnets, click here!

Bottle Openers

Bottle Openers come in one size currently, the 2.25” round. The backing is a black polypropylene plastic with a metal bottle opener. It also has a magnet to either hang your bottle opener up while it’s not in use or catch the bottle cap when opening the bottle! Bottle openers are great for breweries, gifts, or even advertisements for beverage companies! To place an order for bottle openers, click here!

Mirror Backs

Mirror Backs, like the bottle openers, come in one size the 2.25” round. They have a mirror on the back and your custom design on the front! They are great for people on the go. It is compact enough to carry it in your purse or your makeup bag. So, you will never be without a mirror again. You can order mirror backs here!

3 Reasons to Buy Buttons Made in The USA

July 2, 2021July 2, 2021 elbuttons

Supporting companies that make their products in the USA couldn’t be more important in today’s economy. It allows American companies to continue growing. Three of the benefits to buying in-country rather than out are jobs, quality, and economy. At Everyone Loves Buttons®, all of our products are 100% made in the USA. The materials we use come from all over the US ranging from California to Wisconsin and many of the states in-between.

Jobs

Continuing to buy USA products helps keep existing and creates more jobs. The more buttons ordered, the greater the number of American jobs needed to make button parts and assemble the completed buttons. Creating work for Americans has always been a balancing act, and buying US-made helps maintain and create more job opportunities for Americans.

Dollars Stay in the US

By making the choice to buy a button made in the USA, you’re keeping your money in the USA. Keeping money in the USA helps grow our country’s economy. By helping the economy you are also helping your fellow Americans. With the materials that we use to make our buttons, it is nice to know that we are contributing to keeping the money in the country.

Quality Buttons Made in the USA

When you buy buttons that are made in the USA, you know you can expect great quality. If you’re ordering a large quantity, you want what you’re paying for to be the best quality and nothing less. When you have a guarantee that your buttons will be the best that they can be it’s comforting to know when choosing the manufacturer to go with. It’s something to note that the US product quality is held to a higher standard than in some of the other countries you can buy from.

According to the Manufacturing Institute, manufacturing supports an estimated 12 million jobs in the US. This number was more than 19 million in 1978. Everyone Loves Buttons® is proud to say all of our button parts are manufactured in Wisconsin with USA-made steel, and assembled in Phoenix, Arizona on our button machines that are also made in the USA!

Covid-19 Vaccinated Buttons

January 26, 2021January 26, 2021 elbuttons

Have you noticed how quickly the messages we share have changed during the current pandemic? We definitely have! Our owner was interviewed by Channel 12 News to talk about her experience with making custom buttons during the pandemic. Watch the video below to hear about the newest messaging trend, Covid-19 vaccinated buttons:

Throughout the current pandemic we have been proud to be able to make buttons with informative and positive messages for essential workers and the public. Today we talk about the top Covid-19 related button trends we have seen, and how you can order your own customized buttons and stickers!

Covid-19 Safety Customized Buttons

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused many changes in the messages we want to share with the each other. This is especially true as new information quickly emerged about the virus. Most notable were the different public safety measures that have been needed and how to remind others to follow these safety practices. Healthcare and public safety were the most popular topics for customized buttons over the past few months, with most designs falling into the following three categories.

Hand Washing Buttons

Covid-19 button designs about washing your hands and staying six feet away

One of the first trends to emerge were buttons and magnets focused on washing hands to stop the spread of the virus. These buttons have been used to remind others to always use soap and be through. This message emerged as officials said it could help keep you safe after touching surfaces.

Hand washing icons and bold text were mainly used to grab the attention of others. These layouts influenced other button designs, as they were easy to understand and read from a distance.

Social Distancing Buttons

Button designs with a social distancing message

This topic quickly became one of the most popular during the pandemic, and continues to be important as the pandemic continues. Small businesses, restaurants, and healthcare facilities used buttons with this message to remind others about their new social distancing practices.

Customized buttons and pins proved to be a great way of encouraging social distancing from the recommended six feet. Our 3” buttons were the most popular, as large bold text and logos fit perfectly on the larger buttons we carry.

Mask Wearing Buttons

Blue button with the text "I'm smiling under this mask"

Throughout the pandemic, mask wearing buttons were definitely the most popular designs for our customers. These buttons served to remind customers, employees, and patients about wearing a mask to stop the spread of the virus. Our larger buttons kept their bold mask-related designs large enough to see even while social distancing.

Mask wearing also brought a new challenge to how people expressed themselves: how can you show emotions without showing your full face? Our creative customers found the perfect solution with buttons, by using designs about smiling!

Covid-19 Vaccine Buttons

With several vaccines now approved and beginning distribution across the country, the newest trend to emerge is Covid-19 vaccinated buttons. These buttons tell others that you have now received the vaccine.

Currently these buttons are mainly used by healthcare and essential workers to let patients know they are vaccinated against the virus. However, as more of the public becomes eligible to receive the vaccine we anticipate more people wanting to show their vaccinated status.

Official Designs by the Center for Disease Control for Healthcare Workers

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is working to make it easy for healthcare workers to let others know when they have been vaccinated with their official Covid-19 vaccinated button and sticker designs. With two color options, these designs are perfect for making buttons and stickers and are easy to identify from a distance.

The Importance of Covid-19 Buttons and Stickers

Our pin-back buttons and clothing magnets are the perfect choice for employees and healthcare workers to show their vaccinated status on a daily basis. Buttons are reusable and feature a clear protective mylar covering over your design. This allows you to properly sanitize your buttons, without compromising the design!

Our stickers are a perfect choice to give to give to people receiving the vaccine. They can proudly show their vaccination status, while helping others become more aware of the vaccine. This could help others become more confident in the vaccine, and even get people excited for when they can get their own vaccinated sticker, too!

How to Order Your Own Covid-19 Vaccinated Buttons and Stickers

Here at Everyone Loves Buttons®, we make it easy to order your own custom buttons, magnets, and stickers. And if you have any questions, we are here to help! Through our website you can select what product you want, the specific size, and even choose a specific quantity for your order. No order is too big or too small, we can do them all!

The Most Famous Political Campaign Button

October 14, 2020February 8, 2021 elbuttons

Some people collect stamps or coins, while others invest in baseball cards or Barbie® dolls. But there is also a whole world of collectors whose item of choice is the political campaign button. One appraiser said that political buttons are like a “microcosm of political history for the 20th century”, with many treating them with the same reverence given to the first American flags, the Declaration of Independence, and other artifacts from America’s past. It does not matter if you are a Democrat, Republican, or Independent, campaign buttons are invaluable pieces of American history.

Early Political Campaign Buttons

George Washington wore the first political button, a clothing button made of brass, in 1789 at his first Presidential inauguration with the phrase “G.W.-Long Live the President.” The slogan was based off the British’s Long Live the King cry. An original George Washington cloth button could now easily be worth tens of thousands of dollars.

In 1860, Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin ran for the Presidency. Many believe that Lincoln was the first president to use buttons as a true campaign tool. Political button pins during this era started to feature daguerreotypes of the candidates and is the first time portraits ever appeared on campaign buttons. One of these buttons, in perfect condition, would be worth over $1000 to most modern collectors.

The first mass production of metal buttons, the design we are familiar with today for most campaigns, happened during the 1896 William McKinley campaign for president. These campaign buttons were “celluloid” buttons, with one side of a metal disk covered with paper containing the printed message, and protected by a layer of clear plastic. It’s ironic that campaign button pins haven’t changed much over the years; political buttons are still produced with a metal casing, covered with paper and protected by clear plastic we call mylar. The only difference is that we now have a jewelers safety pin attached to the button back.

One of the most famous uses of campaign buttons occurred during the 1940 U.S. presidential election, when Wendell Willkie’s campaign produced millions of buttons in response to news stories about President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It reads: “That’s right Franklin, Spinach is Spinach”. According to NPR, this button can be traced back to a New Yorker cartoon, where a mother and daughter are sitting around a dinner table. The mother says “It’s broccoli, dear”, while the daughter pushes away the plate and responds, “I say it’s spinach and I say the hell with it.” This is to suggest Willkie’s nature it to “tell it like it is”, while Roosevelt is guilty of spinning the truth.

Political Campaign Button Prices

Aside from the Washington button, the price of past campaign buttons doesn’t always rise in relation to its age. Some of the most popular buttons have sentimental value attached to them, such as buttons created for the Kennedy Presidential campaign. “A Kennedy-Humphrey button can be worth $300-$500. This outranks even Lincoln, Roosevelt and Huey Long memorabilia,” said collectibles writer Joyce Worley. Obviously the more obscure buttons, such as those with spelling errors, are considered more collectible simply because they are harder to come by.

“Since the turn of the century, the political button has just dominated the political advertising, until television came in. Now it’s a dying art.” Political campaign button collectors are hoping to preserve the art and the history that is inherently a part of those buttons for generations to come. Whether it’s for President, Governor, Mayor or local election campaign, button pins will stand the test of time.

Showing support (or disdain) for presidential candidates through button pins is a practice nearly as old as the office of the 1st U.S. President George Washington, and over time it has evolved with the changing political landscape we are living in today. Campaign Button Pin history may be hundreds of years old, but still remain wearable signs of the times. Even today’s COVID-19 themed campaign buttons will become part of a collection one day.

Button pins are now making a comeback as they can be seen from a safe 6 foot distance and can be customized to your needs. Who knows, the buttons we make for you might become collectable 100 years from now!

How Custom Buttons Can Be Used for Marketing

October 12, 2020October 12, 2020 elbuttons

If you have ever seen someone walking down the street wearing a custom button pin, you have probably wondered what its for and what it says. Being able to Express Yourself is the biggest appeal of buttons, and what better way than by customizing your own! They stand out from the rest, and when someone wears a custom button pin, you know they have something to say to the world.

We are Hard at Work Making Custom Button Pins and Magnetic Buttons!

What is a A “pin-back button”, “pin button”, “ button pin”, “tin pin” or “button badge”? It is a metal shape with a jewelers pin or magnet attached that can be temporarily fastened to the surface of a garment. When you order your custom buttons from Everyone Loves Buttons® you will receive stunning buttons that are made with the highest quality parts.

What Can a Button Do?

“Your Silent Salesman”

Custom button pins are the perfect way to get your message out from a safe distance of 6 feet or more.

In this era of digital marketing, something personalized and tangible such as a button pin, can go a long way to make you more memorable to a customer or client.

Buttons are visual A custom button worn by staff or supporters gives a company the opportunity to engage anyone they come across. A fun, vivacious company will want a button design that really pops with bright colors and images. Even steering away from the traditional round button and choosing a square or rectangle shape can help you say: we stand out.

A company that is more traditional, and perhaps even subdued, can use a branded logo or imagery they feel represents them well, along with basic or neutral colors. Not using bright colors and loud images does not mean the company is “boring”, but instead helps give the visual impression of being professional.

Custom Buttons are a voice! A button or custom pin gives a company the opportunity to tell people who they are in a few short words or with a picture. A simple mantra like Carpe Diem, or a strong word like Believe, can make a strong statement to everyone who sees your button. A short company or campaign slogan is something that can go a long way as well. A strong image or a slogan that stands out will keep people talking about you and your button pin. They may think about it and laugh, or it may cause them to go deep into thought, or simply jog a happy memory.

Where and How Can I Use Buttons?

There is a plethora of ways to use buttons as part of your marketing strategy, some ways you can use buttons are more basic, but others will help you stand out from the rest.

Give Away a Button

Give button pins away at a trade show, while walking down the street, at schools, anywhere you can to get your message or your information out there.

Use Buttons for a Prize Drawing

Include a code or number on your button pins and have a drawing for button-holders to win a prize. This will ensure that they hold on to them for at least a short time.

Use a Button Magnet as a Business Card

Print your business card on a button magnet and hand it out in meetings or conferences. People will never forget who you are and they can attach them to any metal surface.

Wear Your Button

Wearing your button pin will raise questions about you and why you are displaying the logo or slogan. You never know who will approach you to ask about it.

When you think of custom buttons and pins, you might think of political campaigns, or even Jennifer Anniston in Office Space sporting buttons on her suspenders. Whatever comes to mind, personalized custom buttons stand out and are a unique way to market yourself, your company, or a cause to the world.

Button Value You Can Count On

We only create premium 2-piece mylar topped custom pin-back buttons, magnets, and more. Custom buttons are a price-effective way to share your message!

“Caveat emptor” (ca-ve-at emptor) means “let the buyer beware”. For us at CustomButtons.com by Everyone Loves Buttons®, this means that NOT ALL pin-back buttons or button companies are created equal. Unlike our quality buttons, some companies use laminate graphics and 1-piece button parts that do not stand the test of time. Buttons like this can be dangerous and prone to breaking easily. Since our buttons are all made in-house, we can ensure strict quality control for every order that leaves our warehouse. These checks are important to ensure all of your buttons are uniform and always “Make you Look Good”!

Custom Button Variety

We offer 24 different shapes & sizes to ensure you can find your perfect button to fit your needs. Not only do we make traditional pin-back buttons, but we also offer options such as fridge magnets, clothing magnets, Zipper Pulls®, and bull-dog clips to choose from.

Want to include backer cards, or special bagging for your order? That is not a problem for us! We receive special orders like this often and love to see our customers get creative with how they display their custom buttons.

Guaranteed Delivery Dates

We have custom shipping options available for your buttons, including drop shipping to multiple locations or blind shipping to ensure your order is delivered properly. Need special shipping directions for your order? Not a problem! Let us know when placing your order and we will work with you to make sure all your shipping needs are met.

You choose the date you would like your buttons delivered on when you order from us, eliminating any worry about when you will receive them. We also offer our Fast-Track Production service to ensure we can meet quick turnaround times for last-minute button orders.

100% Made in the USA

Some companies that source their parts from outside the US end up producing lower-quality buttons. Everyone Loves Buttons® is proud to say all of our button parts are made in Wisconsin and assembled in Arizona on button machines made in the USA! Buying parts that are completely made in the USA gives us as much joy as it does to produce buttons that are fully made and assembled in the USA. We hope that it makes you as excited as it makes us!

In a day and age where you can easily find products assembled in the USA with parts that are made in China, we are the exception. Our buttons are 100% made in the USA, with our button parts and machines made and assembled in the following locations:

Button Printing & Assembly – Phoenix, AZ
Button Parts, Button Magnets & Zipper Pulls® Versa Backs® Mfg. – Fond du Lac, WI
Button Machines Mfg. – Fond du Lac, WI
Die-Cut Magnets Printing & Assembly – San Diego, CA

Stop buying inferior quality buttons with parts sourced from China and pins that fall off after a single-use. We are extremely transparent in where our parts come from because we want you to rest easy that everything is USA made. Why would you buy from anywhere else when you can get it faster, and with better customer service, than from overseas? Quality you can trust comes from purchasing from a Nationally Certified Women-Owned American company, using only USA made buttons parts and machinery.

We are Proud of Our Custom Buttons!

Customer Spotlight: Veterans Home of California-Yountville’s Buttons

April 16, 2020May 29, 2020 elbuttons

The Veterans Home of California-Yountville (VHC-Yountville) was founded in 1884 and is located in Napa Valley, CA. They are home to the largest veterans home in the country. VHC-Yountville hosts over 1,000 disabled or aged men and women who have served on various fronts in the military. There are many resources for residents for personal care and support to ensure that the health care needs of the veterans are met.

VHC-Yountville offers many different kinds of activities for the residents regardless of the level of care needed. They have a theater, executive golf course, bowling lanes, and a resident operated television station just to mention a few of the many facilities available to residents.

Lately, VHC-Yountville has been using customized buttons in the last few weeks to highlight the message that their health care workers and residents are vitally instrumental in getting through the health crisis together. They have been able to add a little light to a situation that may feel grim at times. Everyone Loves Buttons® has found that custom buttons have morale-boosting properties. These buttons are certainly playing an important role during this health care crisis in nursing homes and other health care institutions throughout the country.

The most recent buttons they have requested say “You Are Important”. These buttons can give their residents more than just a smile but a feeling. Feelings can be created by just reading something positive. That is what we try to do every day at Everyone Loves Buttons®. We want to give an outlet for companies to convey feelings with others as it is especially important during a crisis to create strength together.

Institutions like VHC-Yountville are truly the backbone of our country. They allow men and women who have served our great country to be able to receive treatment and live out their days in a wonderful, supportive community. As a button provider, we are proud to be able to donate buttons to their organization and provide a morale boost during this time of uncertainty, and hope to continue making their custom buttons for years to come.

Vital businesses like VHC-Yountville have undergone such an extreme change in a short time. Here at Everyone Loves Buttons®, it has been enlightening to see how and where custom buttons are now being used. We are happy to be able to make custom buttons that allow companies like VHC-Yountville to encourage safe and stronger connections between their employees and their residents.

Thank you Veterans Home of California-Yountville for allowing us to fill your button needs!

Can I order pin-back buttons for my staff?

We are adhering to the COVID-19 health and safety protocols deemed necessary by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention such as social distancing, wiping down work stations often, and regular hand washing.

Currently, we have no in-person or on-site transactions taking place on our premises with the public. We will inform you when this policy is lifted, but for now, we are not permitting walk-in ordering or local-pickup of orders until further notice. If you are wanting to get in contact with us please send an email or call us at 623-445-9975 during regular business hours.

During this time, we are working to provide the safest possible environment for our employees and their families while we continue to serve your promotional item needs.

If you would like a sample or digital example, send us an email at sales@custombuttons.com or give us a call at 623-445-9975.

What can I use buttons for during COVID-19?

At this time buttons can be used to give messages to your customers, residents, or employees. These can range from moral boosting slogans like VHC-Yountville’s buttons to reminding others to stay six feet away from each other. For retailers and restaurants, buttons can also be used to display your current promotions from a safe distance. That way, your message can be seen on many different fronts when your employees safely interact with your customers.

Do you only make pin-back buttons?

While pin-back buttons are our specialty, we also offer other wearable options including clothing magnet buttons and bulldog clip buttons. We also have non-traditional options that include Zipper Pulls® and fridge magnets. Promotional items do not just have to be limited to an individual wearing it, you can show it off in creative ways too!

How many buttons should I order?

It truly does depend on the use. If the button is going to be used for your employees, order just over the number of employees you have. That way, if a button gets lost it can be replaced and your employees do not have to share with each other. If you are giving buttons out to others, use your discretion on how many people will take and wear the buttons.

How long will it take to get my order?

We still are maintaining a full staff during this time and we will be able to produce and ship your orders like normal. Depending on the size of the order, we offer a FAST-TRACK 1- 4 business day production time for custom button orders needing quick turnaround times.
