Custom Pinback Buttons
Professional Custom Pinback Buttons in Every Size
Custom pinback buttons are one of the most effective tools for advertising, expression, and promotion-and choosing the right size button makes all the difference. At BigDogButtons by Copyland, we produce custom pinback buttons in sizes from 1-inch rounds to 4-inch display buttons. Made in the USA.
Whether you're ordering for political campaigns, events, retail counters, or merch tables, we help you pick the perfect fit for your project—talk with our team about size selection. Pinback buttons range from 1 to 4 inches in diameter, and bulk custom buttons are available for larger quantities.
Why Pinback Buttons Are Perfect for Your Campaign or Event
A pinback button is a small disc with a printed graphic on the front and a pin clasp on the back, so it can be worn on a jacket, bag, or any fabric surface. Every button has a clear, glossy mylar cover. They are ideal for promoting events, organizations, and causes. Here's why they remain a go-to for businesses, bands, organizations, and campaign teams:
- Versatile Promotion: Custom pinback buttons are effective for advertising and expression across campaigns, conferences, retail counters, fundraisers, and giveaways. They carry your message wherever people wear them.
- Live Pricing: Product pages show a live price as you change size, backing, or quantity.
- Full-Color Printing: Every button is printed in full color and has a clear, glossy mylar cover.
- Professional Full-Color Printing: Your artwork, photos, and designs are printed in CMYK full color, so your brand and message stand out at any distance.
- Rush Options Available: When your event is around the corner, rush custom buttons can help you meet tight deadlines. Rush availability depends on product, quantity, artwork readiness, and checkout options.
- Bulk Ordering for Large Campaigns: Bulk custom buttons are available for larger quantities.
Our Pinback Button Services
Campaign and Political Pinback Buttons
We produce custom buttons for political campaigns, advocacy groups, causes, and grassroots organizations. The 2.25 inch and 1.75 inch buttons are common sizes for political campaigns. Rush production options are available when election day or rally dates are closing in. Political buttons in round 1.75" and 2.25" come as pin back buttons or magnets.
Event and Conference Pinback Buttons
From staff identification to attendee giveaways, pinback buttons add a professional, memorable touch to any event. Rectangular buttons are ideal for name tags and larger logos, while round pins work perfectly as promotional keepsakes. We produce buttons that match your event branding and help your team and guests showcase their participation.
Retail and Business Pinback Buttons
Local businesses, retailers, and bands use custom buttons at merch tables, retail counters, and in-store displays. BigDogButtons by Copyland offers custom buttons, magnets, keychains, and bottle openers that help you create merchandise customers actually want to wear. Visit our custom buttons catalog to start building your order. Keychains come in the round button sizes 1", 1.25", 1.5", 1.75", and 2.25".
Pinback Button Sizes
Deciding on the right size button is one of the most important steps in your order. Here are pinback button sizes we produce, along with a use case for each:
- 1 Inch Round - A 1 inch button is approximately the size of a quarter. This is the smallest size available, ideal for simple logos, bold single-word text, and subtle branding. Perfect for artists, bands, and retail bundles.
- 1.25 Inch Round - The 1.25 inch button is slightly larger than a quarter, giving designers a bit more room for detail. A versatile pick for musicians, artists, and small-scale promotion.
- 1.5 Inch Round - This 1.5 inch size offers a balance of visibility and wearability, and is available with pin backing.
- 2.25 Inch Round - A 2.25 inch button is a common size for campaign buttons and is about the size of the top of a soda can, making it easy to picture. This size offers visibility and enough space for logos, slogans, and photographs.
- 3 Inch Round - 3 inch buttons are ideal for detailed photographs and complex artwork. At about the size of a baseball, they are a strong choice when you need your design to stand out from a distance. 2.5" to 3" buttons are commonly used for photo buttons and event mementos.
- 2 x 3 Inch Rectangle - Rectangle buttons are a smart match for text-heavy layouts and designs that don't fit well inside a circle. They help your brand stand apart from the standard round shape.
- 1.75 x 2.75 Inch Rectangle - Rectangular buttons double as name tags and staff badges. They're a professional choice for conferences, corporate events, and organizations that need identification alongside branding.
- Diamond, Octagon, and Square Shapes - Diamond buttons are available in 2" and 3" sizes, the octagon shape is available at 2", and square buttons are available in 2" and 3" sizes for compact branding and QR codes.
Whatever size button you pick from the catalog is available as a pin back button. Round pin back buttons come in 1", 1.25", 1.5", 1.75", 2", 2.25", 2.5", 3", 3.5", and 4" in diameter. Beyond round, pin back buttons come in square 2" and 3", diamond 2" and 3", octagon 2", oval 2.75" x 1.75", and rectangle 1.5" x 4.5", 1.75" x 2.75", 2" x 3", and 2.5" x 3.5", each rectangle horizontal or vertical.
Our Professional Pinback Button Production Process
Step 1: Size Selection and Design Upload
Start by choosing your button pin size and shape: round, oval, square, or rectangular. Upload your artwork through our catalog. If your logo is horizontal, an oval may be the perfect fit. If you need name tags, rectangles are the way to go. Not sure which size works? We'll help you decide.
Step 2: Professional Proof Approval
You approve a digital proof before production begins. Checkout may let you skip proof approval when that option is offered.
Step 3: Production
Your artwork is printed in full color and has a clear, glossy mylar cover. Custom buttons support a variety of backing types depending on size.
Step 4: Rush Shipping
Rush options are available; rush availability depends on quantity, artwork readiness, proof approval, and what's shown during checkout. Production happens through Copyland in Los Angeles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a common pinback button size?
The 2.25" button is a common size for campaigns, events, fundraisers, and general promotions, offering a balance of visibility, wearability, and design space. For political campaigns specifically, 1.75" buttons are also commonly used.
Can I order the same artwork in multiple sizes?
Yes. You can order the same design across different button sizes to match different needs-for example, 1-inch pins for merch bundles and 2.25-inch buttons for campaign giveaways. Our designer reviews your artwork and sets it up for printing before you see your proof. Costs may differ between pinback button sizes.
Do you offer magnets instead of pin backs?
We do. Magnet backs are available as an alternative to pin backs. Magnets are preferred for professional environments, conferences, and situations where pinholes in clothing are a concern. Note that magnets may not hold as well on very thick or porous fabrics. Magnet backs come in the round button sizes from 1" to 3.5" in diameter.
What is the turnaround for rush pinback buttons?
Rush availability depends on the product, quantity, artwork readiness, proof approval, and what options are shown during checkout. Not every size or every order can be rushed. Local production through our LA-area Copyland facilities can reduce transit time for many customers. Check rush custom buttons at checkout for current availability.
What's the difference between round and oval pinback buttons?
Round buttons are the most recognizable and popular shape; they work for nearly any design. Oval buttons are a better match for horizontal logos, wide text layouts, or designs that don't fit naturally inside a circle. Oval shapes also help your button stand out visually from the standard round. Both shapes are available through our custom buttons catalog.
