Many button suppliers require high piece minimums, charge extra for proofs, and quote long production windows before your order ships. BigDogButtons by Copyland is built for configurator-first ordering with proof approval on every run.
- Proof approval before every print run — review a digital proof before production begins.
- Rush and expedited options are available when shown at checkout.
- A $30 minimum order value applies; there are no fixed piece-count minimums.

- Upload artwork — use the online configurator for PNG, PDF, AI, EPS, or SVG; vector files preferred; 300 DPI minimum for raster art. Select horizontal or vertical orientation.
- Review and approve your proof — see how your design maps to the safe print area, bleed, and trim before production. Request revisions until satisfied.
- Receive finished buttons — standard production is typically 3–4 business days after proof approval. Production time is separate from carrier transit time. Shipping rates are shown at checkout using carrier rates.

What's the minimum resolution needed for 2" x 3" rectangle buttons?
Submit artwork at a minimum of 300 DPI at final print size. Vector formats (AI, EPS, PDF, SVG) are preferred for logos and text-heavy designs because they scale without quality loss.
How does the 2" x 3" size compare to business card dimensions?
A standard business card is 3.5" × 2". A vertical 2" × 3" button is slightly narrower and taller; a horizontal layout is 3" × 2" — close enough that many business card layouts can adapt with minor safe-zone adjustments.
Can I fit multiple lines of text clearly on a 2" x 3" button?
Yes. The safe print area comfortably accommodates three to four lines of text at 12pt or larger, plus a logo or photo. Use high-contrast colors and avoid thin-line fonts for best legibility.
What's the production time for 2" x 3" rectangle buttons?
Standard production is typically 3–4 business days after proof approval. Rush and expedited options are available when shown at checkout. Production time is separate from carrier transit time.
Is the safety pin backing strong enough for this size?
The metal safety-pin backing is designed to support this button size (approximately 0.496 oz) without sagging. The pin distributes load across the backing plate for secure attachment to most fabrics.
What's the recommended bleed area for 2" x 3" rectangle designs?
Include 0.125" (1/8") of bleed on all sides beyond the trim line. Extend background color or imagery into the bleed zone, but keep critical text and logos inside the safe print area.
Can I mix 2" x 3" buttons with other sizes in the same order?
Yes. You can combine multiple sizes and designs in one order. Each unique design goes through its own proof approval before production.
What file formats work best for 2" x 3" rectangle artwork?
Vector formats — AI, EPS, PDF with outlined fonts, or SVG — produce the sharpest results. High-resolution PNG or JPEG at 300 DPI or higher also works. Submit CMYK when possible for accurate color.
How are shipping costs calculated for rectangle button orders?
Shipping rates are shown at checkout using carrier rates based on package weight and dimensions. Production time is separate from carrier transit time.
