If the following statements describe you, it probably makes sense that you place your order online:

"My artwork is set up in the template and ready to go."
"I place orders online all the time and like it because it's as easy as 1, 2, 3."

If you find yourself saying the following then it's best if you give us a call or email us to place your order:

"I'm not sure if I have my artwork set up correctly."
"I have a few questions about my button order."
"I like the personal touch and want to deal with a real person."

Well, that all depends on the quantity you'll be ordering.

All sales of customized products are final. It is the responsibility of the customer to submit the proper files, setup within the templates in the requested specifications indicated on our website. Image colours, lightness, darkness of images are not grounds for a refund. If there is anything out of character when we review your files, the customer will be notified. If colour matching is a concern, a physical button proof can be sent out for approval upon request.

There will be a 10% Restocking Fee on all DIY button making machines & punches returns. All sales final on button making components.

It would be best to call us to receive samples of the button parts for you to try in your machine. You may also request samples by emailing sales@sixcentpress.com

No. Tecre DIY Button Machines produce one size only. The dies are NOT interchangeable.

You will receive 500 complete button parts, which will make you 500 buttons.

The amount of buttons made is dependent on speed the operator can load the components. The manual machines, if you pre-cut your graphics, can produce 200-300 an hour. Being familiar with the machine and having an organized workspace will help you reach your optimum speed.

From the time artwork is received and approved, production and delivery is typically 4-6 weeks. Rush services are available upon request.

Minimum orders start at 50 pins per design. A mold is created for each design and will be held for 2 years. Reorders using the same mold will cost less to order.

On smaller run orders, samples are not practical. We will provide a digital proof of your artwork setup to production guidelines that represent the final product.

Soft enamel pins start out as a shaped piece of base metal and are struck with a die to create recessed areas. These recessed areas are where the color enamel is applied. The raised areas act as the outline of your design, separating the colors from one another. Once dry, a layer of enamel paint is applied to the recessed areas, which sit lower than the raised area, creating a ridged finish. Custom soft enamel pins are cheaper to produce than hard enamel pins and offer a budget-friendly option, popular for fundraising events and promotional items.

Hard enamel pins start out as a shaped piece of base metal, and are also struck with a die to create recessed areas. Again, the recessed areas are where the color enamel is applied and the raised areas act as the outline of your design, separating the colors from one another. However, enamel paint is applied in multiple layers within the recessed areas of the pin until the paint sits level with the raised areas, resulting in the surface becoming smooth and flat. The pin is dried at a high temperature and polished for a high quality, hard wearing shiny finish.
