It depends on how big you want your badges and what your pin maker supports. On this page, you’ll find common sizes like 1 in (25 mm), 1.25 in (32 mm), 1.5 in (37 mm), 2.16 in (55 mm), 2.28 in (58 mm), and 3 in (75 mm).

• Visibility: Larger buttons stand out more; smaller ones suit minimalist designs.
• Design detail: More intricate art tends to read better on mid‑to‑large sizes.
• Compatibility: Match your machine’s mold size with the button parts you buy.
• Flexibility: Multi‑size kits offer interchangeable molds if you want options.
• Shape: Round is most common, but square and heart machines are also available.

Review each product page for included circle cutters, parts counts, and mm/inch conversions to keep everything aligned.

A 3‑in‑1 badge maker can be a versatile pick if you plan to make multiple sizes. Many kits include several molds (for example, 1 in, 1.25 in, 2.28 in), a circle cutter, and a starter pack of button parts.

• Pros: One press for multiple sizes, interchangeable molds, and room to experiment.
• Consider: Check how molds swap, included tools, and whether alignment feels straightforward for you.
• Supplies: Make sure extra button parts match the exact mold size in millimeters.

If you only need a single size, a dedicated press can be simpler to store and use. Results can vary by model, so comparing included accessories and setup steps on each product page is helpful.

Both types can produce great pins; the right choice depends on your needs. This page includes lightweight plastic presses and heavier metal‑style presses.

• Plastic frames: Often lighter and easier to move; good for crafting at home or school projects.
• Metal presses: May feel more robust; helpful if you prefer a sturdier workstation feel.
• Ease of use: Some models are installation‑free or include ergonomic handles.
• What’s included: Compare accessories like circle cutters, wrenches, and starter button parts.

Consider your volume, workspace, and preferred sizes. Checking the product details for mold compatibility and included tools can help you decide, since setup and handling can differ by model.

Basic steps can vary by model, but most kits include what you need to get started. Many include a circle cutter and clear protective films.

1. Prep artwork: Print your design and use the circle cutter or a template to trim it.
2. Stack components: Place the metal shell, artwork, and clear film in the die, then add the back (pin or other) as the instructions indicate.
3. Press smoothly: Pull the handle in a steady motion. If your press uses a rotating or sliding base, follow the sequence shown in the manual.
4. Test and adjust: Make a few test buttons to dial in artwork size and placement.

Working on a stable surface and following your specific manual can help improve consistency, though results may vary by model.

You’ll find button maker supplies on this page in multiple sizes and quantities. Look for sets that include metal front shells, backs (pin or plastic), and clear protective films; some options also offer magnetic backings or non‑round shapes.

• Match size: Buy parts that align with your mold (e.g., 32 mm, 58 mm).
• Match shape: Round components won’t fit square or heart molds, and vice versa.
• Count needs: Kits come in various quantities (for example, 100 to 500 sets).

Checking the product description for millimeter sizing and component lists helps ensure compatibility with your button press. Keeping a few extra sets on hand can make test runs easier.
