Question

What paper stocks can I choose for Custom Buttons?

Answer

Buttons are not printed on paper at all. Your artwork prints on a high-resolution graphic face that is then mounted onto a durable metal shell and sealed under a clear Mylar coating, so the material choice is about the button build rather than a paper weight.

  • Graphic face: a high-resolution printed layer that carries your full-color design.
  • Metal shell: a sturdy backing that holds the shape and the pin mechanism.
  • Mylar seal: a clear protective film over the top that guards the print.

This construction makes buttons weather-resistant and scratch-proof, so they hold up to daily wear on a bag, lapel, or lanyard without the image fading or scuffing.
