We Are Giving Away a Free Button Machine!

Posted on by

We find ourselves with an unusual situation today in that we have come into possession of a slightly used 2.25” button machine.  As you know, our button machines are beyond sturdy. We even replaced some parts to make sure it is in tip-top shape.

We’ve been throwing around ideas of what to do with said machine and decided to have a contest to GIVE IT AWAY – FOR FREE!

2.25" Button Machine

 

All you have to do is like us on Facebook.  If we reach 1500 Facebook likes within the next 60 days, we’ll pick a name at random from our “likers”, and that person wins. It’s that easy.  If you already like us on Facebook, and want even more chances to win, then  you can also like us on Google + and/or post a Google comment or review and we’ll put your name in twice or even three times.  (Once more for the like and another for the review.)

So, talk about us on Facebook and Google.  Share our information with your friends so they can like us too and we reach that all important 1500.  We want someone to win and there’s no reason that someone can’t be YOU!

 

 

Until next time, Happy Button Making!

  • What is the meaning of life? (Answer: we don’t know, but when we find out we will make custom pinback buttons and send one to all of our past, present, and future customers!)

difference between graphic punch cutter and photo punch cutter
Those, of course, are just three of the myriad questions we get asked. Another of the common queries revolves around two different types of cutters that we offer: the 2.25″ photo punch cutter and the 2.25″ graphic punch cutter. 

The primary difference between the two cutters is the size of the circle they cut out, and there is a very specific reason why this is the case.  You see, a 2.25″ button machine can’t use true photo paper because it is too thick. Thus, the photo punch cutter actually cuts a circle that is slightly smaller than the standard graphic punch cutter.
