Welcome to The Button Post by Pure Buttons! (Page 146 of 149)! A blog where we discuss all things related to custom pin-back buttons and other custom promotional products that Pure Buttons offers. Stick around for coupons to score cheap pinback buttons, new button product announcements and more!
Chris, from Print Brigade just sent me an email this morning thanking me for the custom buttons we just did for him. These buttons were for his painting show he just had this past Saturday. The buttons turned out great and it looks like they were a hit!
Promotional buttons can always add more flair to your events. Which is why buttons can be such successful promotional items.
Be sure to check out his blog! Thanks Chris for the email! It’s always great seeing our buttons that we manufactured put to good use!

Who are some of your favorite designers?
Whew…I’ll try to keep it down to a few: Andy Warhol, Shepard Fairey, Sam Keith and Chris Bachalo (amongst an obscenely long list of my favorite comic book artists). Frank Kozik and Derek Hess are giant influences on me, especially earlier on. Having gotten to work with Derek on some projects was a big thing for me…still is. I’d feel like a jerk to not namedrop the dudes at Go Media for educating young designers, doing solid work, and thriving in my home (Cleveland).
You’ve had experience designing button packs with us. Any tips on designing a unique button pack?
It’s definitely important for designers to strive for something that’s their own, but I don’t know quite how to explain to someone else how to make something unique. For me, the setup of the packs reminded me of action figure packaging from when I was a kid, so I came at it from that angle, especially with my ‘Space Race’ pack. So I guess my advice would be to take a look at what’s out there, find what gets you going, and just make the thing RULE. (in other words, don’t make it suck.)

I’d like to thank all the designers who helped us create some new promotional button packs. You gave us something extremely unique. You can view a sneak peak photo below of some of the ones we had a chance to print. We look forward to making your next custom button / button packaging order happen.
We gave our designers the ability to run free with our logo and turn it into something that would flow with the button pack design. And FLOW they did!

Step 1. – Printing the artwork. This step requires downloading the artwork from our CMS (customer management system), then fixing up the artwork to our exact specifications.
Step 3. – Die Cutting the artwork.
Step 4. – Assembling the button with our button machine.
– first, you will insert a button blank called a shell into the larger cavity.
– Second, you will place the die cut circle on top of the shell.
– Third, you will now place a metal ring called a collet into the next cavity
This is a step and repeat process.
– Fifth step, let the machine do the work. What happens now is the machine will actually pick up the mylar, artwork and shell and fold the artwork under the lip of the shell. Then, the collet will then be pressed into the shell. The collet is what fuses the two together. (holding the button together)
The machines arm has a magnet at the end of it and its now picking the button out of the machine.
Step 5. – We will insert the pin into the back of the button.
Step 6. – Finally the button is complete! You are now ready to wear your finished button. (In This case I’ve showed you our pin back button option as well as our zipper pull buttons)

Custom Zipper Pulls – Now Available at PureButtons
This will be my second blog post about our new zipper pull buttons. As you can see these are a pretty unique new item we are now offering.

Here is one of the many ways you can effectively use zipper pulls as promotional items:
Give your customers more for their money! You are selling a zip up hoody and you sell the hoody with a zipper pull attached to the hoodies zipper. This will be a free item that you can say is included with this hoody and is of a set value. Therefor, you’re giving your customer an added bonus. Remember, your customers love free items! It’s the little details that keep people coming back.
Here’s what some of our customers have said about our zipper pulls.
I think it adds a nice touch. Kyle Crawford – Electric Zombie
This is a great item for my duffle bag. Now, everyone that looks at my duffle bag will know what my favorite sports team is. – Matt Gaspar
Yeah, we’re loving these. the peeps are too! Aaron Belyea – Alphabet Arm Design
