Badge-a-Minit Button Makers - 4 Levels of Machines Based on Budget and Speed

Badge-a-Minit makes it easy to start making buttons on a limited budget.

Let's talk about which button maker fits your needs.

Maybe you are starting your own business, adding inventory to your business, raising money for your organization or school, these 's a button machine for you.

Check out the 3 types of Badge-a-Minit Button Makers on our site:

  • Badge-a-Minit Hand Press Models

  • Badge-a-Minit Bench Press Models

  • Badge-a-Matic Semi-Automatic Button Makers


    • Remember!!!

    If you purchase or own a Badge-a-Minit machine make sure you purchase button parts that are described as Badge-a-Minit.

    The Badge-a-Minit size is different from button parts that are described as Standard.

    Is the Bench Press Better than a Hand Press?

    What's the difference between the two??

    1. You "SQUEEZE" the Hand Press to crimp your button. This can be difficult for some.
    2. You "PUSH" down on the Bench Press to crimp your button. This is easier because you have more leverage.
    3. You can only make 1-1/4" and 2-1/4" buttons with the Hand Press.
    4. You can make all 3 sizes with the Bench Press. The sizes are: 1-1/4", 2-1/4" and 3".
    5. Both the Hand Press and Bench Press use assembly rings to make the button. The only difference is how you crimp the button in the last step.

    Make Your Own Background Paper!

    Pre-Cut Background Circles Coming Soon :)

    If you are letting children or adults create their own artwork on the paper, these come in handy. The picture size circle appears real lite so you can't see it after the button is made. Print out the sheets and cut the templates out. Contact me for details.

    If you don't have a circle or don't want to buy one, we will offer pre-cut background circles soon.

    See, You Can Make a Button With the 1-1/4" Badge-a-Minit!

    I know the 1-1/4" assembly rings can be tricky. And I also know that it is easier to give up and blame Badge-a-Minit for making a torture device that was supposed to be fun to use.

    Here is a video I found on You Tube, ENJOY!!

    Benefits of Badge-a-Minit Machines

    Good Machine, Worth the Money

    Erica-Moreno says:

    Badge-a-Minit has been in business for over 30 years. The button making equipment has a Lifetime Warranty.

    Erica-Moreno says:

    The Hand and Bench Press systems are good if you are NOT in a time crunch, making buttons as a hobby, or what to start with a very little investment.

    Waste of Time, Save Your Money for a Better Machine.

    Erica-Moreno says:

    If you are working on large projects, the hand or bench press systems might drive you batty. If you lose your cool, you may mess up a few buttons and then get even more frustrated because you wasted time and money on the buttons that don't come out good.

    Button Builder Pro Software

    The Badge-a-Minit Button Builder Pro Software is great if you have NO clue as to how you are going to design your buttons.

    I know most of you don't want to sit in front of the computer and learn how to use the graphic software that you've had installed on your computer for years and never opened.

    That's usually the case. Customers also purchase the software as a back up, just in case they totally don't remember how to use their software.

    It's better to be safe than sorry. More information in the link below.
