American Button Machines is proud to announce the official launch of the web’s most immediately responsive button making tips and advice resource: The Button Blog Discussion Forum.

We launched The Button Blog a few months back as another vehicle, in addition to our main website, for providing tips, ideas, and information to customers and button enthusiasts everywhere.

Button Blog Update: New Posts Coming!

Posted on by

Hello there fellow button makers! We have not posted on The Button Blog since the Button University series ended, so I wanted to explain the short hiatus…because more posts are on their way.

For a long time we have received inquiries about the differences between American-made button maker systems and the 3-in-1 (or all-in-one) button makers manufactured in China. In an effort to provide a substantial and detailed response to these questions, we have been hard at work preparing some content around this topic. The articles are currently in the editing and staging phase and will be posted in various forms both here at the button blog and at the American Button Machines main website.

So stay tuned, because more content is coming. And if, for some reason, you come to the end of this post and just happen to be in the planning stage of a button making project and looking for a little guidance as to what button sizes you should choose, hop on over to the main website for our newest page about button sizes; or stay right here and read the button sizes post we did during the Button University series.

We’ll see you soon!
