- Perfect design canvas — a ~1.42" safe print area fits detailed logos, two-line slogans, and bold artwork without the cramped feel of smaller round buttons.

- Professional visibility — large enough for logos and graphics to read clearly across a trade show booth or crowded hall.
- Versatile attachment — standard steel safety pin back works on most fabrics; browse the catalog for other attachment styles when available.
- Vibrant full-color CMYK printing under a gloss mylar laminate that helps protect artwork from everyday handling.

How does a 1.5" button compare to everyday objects for size reference?
At 1.5 inches (38.1 mm) diameter, the button is slightly larger than a U.S. quarter but smaller than a golf ball — visible on a lapel without dominating the garment.
What's the minimum text size readable on a 1.5" button?
Primary text at 11–12 pt reads well when kept inside the ~1.42" safe zone. Use bold, high-contrast fonts; avoid thin serifs or decorative scripts near the edges.
Will a 1.5" button damage thin fabrics?
At approximately 0.192 oz with a standard safety pin back, these buttons are lightweight on most fabrics. Contact Copyland if you need a different attachment style for delicate materials.
Can I mix 1.5" buttons with other sizes in one order?
Yes. Combine multiple sizes and designs in one order. Each unique design goes through its own proof approval before production.
How much detail can I include in a 1.5" design?
Moderate detail works well — logos with clean lines, high-contrast photo crops, and two-line text. Keep critical elements inside the safe area and submit 300 DPI CMYK artwork for best results.
What's the actual weight difference between 1.5" and 1.25" buttons?
A 1.25" button weighs approximately 0.144 oz; a 1.5" button weighs approximately 0.192 oz — a small difference in wear with meaningfully more design area.
Do you offer rush production for 1.5" buttons?
Rush and expedited options are available when shown at checkout. Next-day pickup and next-day carrier shipping options may be available for eligible orders placed before 11:00 a.m. when shown at checkout. Standard production is typically 3–4 business days after proof approval.
What file formats work best for 1.5" button artwork?
Upload AI, PDF, EPS, SVG, PNG, or JPG in the configurator. Vector preferred; raster at 300 DPI minimum. Extend design to the ~1.67" bleed and keep logos inside the ~1.42" safe zone.
What is the minimum order for 1.5" custom pinback buttons?
There are no fixed piece-count minimums, but a $30 minimum order value applies. Enter quantity in the configurator to see live pricing.
Do I get a proof before you print?
Digital proof approval is selected by default. Review layout and color on your proof; production begins after you approve when proof approval is requested.
