Question Button making companies?

Our team is looking to outsource our button making to a company next year. Any suggestions from companies that you have used?

Re: Button making companies?

Our team used Dr. Don's Buttons for our 2004 buttons and then this year we bought one of their button makers and button supplies from them. I didn't do the research on the price for making buttons, but I did do the research on button supplies and they were one of the most affordable. They also sell button supplies for some of the Badge-a-Minit machines.

Also, I misplaced an order this year and they responded right away to my e-mail about it and corrected it with no problem, so I can't say we have any regrets about going with them.

Re: Button making companies?

I very highly recommend Everyone Loves Buttons (http://www.elbusa.com). I've worked with them for three years now, and have always gotten quality products. Their buttons are well made, and the printing is very sharp and professional.

Re: Button making companies?

We make our own, and a mix of students make them.
It is a good way to get many people involved, it is not hard.

I liked the idea in a earlier thread that each student has to make a certain number to be ablr to go to the championships.....

(look out, Cyber Blue )

Re: Button making companies?

We use the badge-a-minit machines, and make our own. One of the mentors prints up the logos and we circle cut them out and put them together. It's actually a good team building assembly line-type deal. And the kids on the team don't mind TOO much ~_^

Re: Button making companies?

TheButtonstore.com has a special deal just for robotics teams.
They are a very nice place and we order our buttons from them every year.
They are also very fast as we get our buttons with in about a week.
