How Custom Photo Buttons are Made

If you don't want to DIY custom photo buttons, you can simply order them. After you order your buttons, we get to work and produce your custom pin-back beauties in four working days. Here is what happens behind the scenes:

Printing

First, we print your photo onto our most popular material: white vinyl. It is not only super durable, but forms the perfect white canvas for creating stunning and vibrant colors. To get the best print quality, we use the HP Indigo Press - the Rolls Royce of digital printers.

Cutting 

Then, it is time to cut your photo. The buttons we offer are round and available in several sizes. Depending on your choice, we cut your photos to size using a digital cutter. This allows a precise and professional finish.

Pressing 

And finally, we turn your photo into a button using our state-of-the-art button machine.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Custom Photo Buttons

Now that you know what custom photo buttons are, how they are made and why you should use them, there is only one question left to answer: how can you create the perfect photo button?

Choose the right size for your photo buttons

Choosing the right size for your custom photo buttons is crucial to ensure that they look their best. The visibility of your photo depends on the size you choose, as well as how much detail you can fit into it. Luckily, there’s a wide range of sizes available—from 2.5 cm to 5 cm—so you can find one that will work for whatever design or image you have in mind.

Use a high-resolution image

If you want your photo buttons to look sharp and clear, then it’s important that you use a high-resolution image. Low-resolution images will become pixelated when printed onto the button, so it’s best to stick with an image that has at least 300 dpi (dots per inch).

Take advantage of online customisation tools

When you order your custom photo buttons, you’ll have access to a range of online customisation tools that will help bring your design ideas to life. These tools come with options like color selection, fonts, and text placement, which can be used to create a truly unique button.

Invest in professional printing services

Investing in a professional printing service is the best way to ensure your custom photo buttons look perfect. Professional printing services can provide the highest quality prints with vibrant colors, sharp details, and precise cuts for your photos. With us at Sticker it, you can be sure that our state-of-the-art button machine and HP Indigo Press can provide you with the highest-quality printed buttons.

Custom photo buttons are a fun and easy way to showcase your creativity, promote your business or commemorate special occasions. With their low cost, creative possibilities and portability, there’s no better way to express yourself than with custom photo buttons!

From wedding photos and family portraits to vacation memories and pet pictures, these personalized buttons make it possible for you to display any image in style.
