The 2 inch custom diamond button is a 2" × 2" diamond-shaped button that sits in the sweet spot of custom diamond buttons — large enough to showcase readable text and vivid graphics, yet compact enough to wear comfortably on a polo, lanyard, or backpack. The diamond shape — a square rotated 45° so one point faces up — draws attention on badge displays, event tables, and shirt fronts where round buttons blend together.
Unlike the 3" × 3" diamond, which offers maximum visibility but more bulk on lighter garments, this size keeps weight around 0.37 oz while still catching eyes from several feet away. Pricing updates live in the configurator as you change quantity. Digital proof approval is selected by default before production; rush and expedited options are available when shown at checkout.

Most button suppliers either manufacture overseas, require large fixed piece-count minimums, or skip the proof approval step — leaving customers to discover artwork problems only after shipment arrives. BigDogButtons by Copyland is built differently.
- Made in USA through Copyland's Los Angeles production shops in West LA, Burbank, and Gardena.

- Standard production is typically 3–4 business days after proof approval. Production time is separate from carrier transit time.
- Rush and expedited options are available when shown at checkout.
- Upload your artwork — use the live configurator for PDF, AI, EPS, PNG, JPG, or SVG; CMYK at 300 DPI or higher recommended for raster files. Select quantity and review live pricing.
- Review your digital proof — see your artwork on the 2" diamond template with bleed and safe zones marked. Request revisions if needed. Digital proof approval is selected by default before production.
- Approve and receive — when proof approval is requested, production begins after you confirm. Standard production is typically 3–4 business days. Shipping rates are shown at checkout using carrier rates. BigDogButtons ships nationwide within the United States only. Local pickup is available at West LA, Gardena, and Burbank when selected at checkout.
The 2 inch diamond has enough space for logos and designs while remaining easy to wear — a key advantage over larger statement diamonds. Download the diamond template from the configurator before designing so cut, bleed, and safe zones match production.

- Corporate events and trade show giveaways — the diamond shape creates instant differentiation on crowded badge boards and swag tables.
- Employee recognition and milestone celebrations — premium service awards and team identification staff actually want to wear.
- Political campaigns and advocacy groups — distinctive shape draws attention to names, slogans, and cause messaging.
- School spirit and fundraising events — large enough for logos and mascots while fitting comfortably on student backpacks.
- Retail and staff identification — pin-back holds securely on most fabrics at this weight; browse magnet products in the catalog when you need a non-pin attachment.
- Digital proof approval is selected by default before production.
- If proof approval is requested, production begins after you approve the proof.
- Customers may choose to proceed without proof approval when that checkout option is available.

What's the minimum order for 2" diamond buttons?
There are no fixed piece-count minimums, but a $30 minimum order value applies. Pricing updates live in the configurator as you change quantity. Same USA-made materials and proof workflow apply across quantity tiers.
How does the 2" diamond size look on different shirt types?
On a standard polo or button-down, the 2" diamond sits comfortably on the chest without sagging fabric. On lightweight t-shirts, it's noticeable but light enough for all-day wear at approximately 0.37 oz. For lanyards and backpacks, it's an ideal product size.
What file resolution do I need for crisp printing at 2" size?
Submit artwork at 300 DPI minimum in CMYK when possible. Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF, SVG) deliver the sharpest results for logos and text. High-resolution PNG or JPG works well for photographic designs. Our team can confirm file readiness during the proof stage.
Can I mix different backing types in one order of 2" buttons?
This SKU includes a standard steel safety pin back. Browse custom pinback buttons and refrigerator magnet categories for other attachment styles when available in the catalog, or contact us for help matching a backing to your use case.
How long does production take for 2" diamond button orders?
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. Carrier delivery times are not guaranteed by BigDogButtons.
What's the weight difference between 2" and other diamond sizes?
A 2" diamond with standard pin back weighs approximately 0.37 oz. A 3" diamond is about 0.75 oz. The 2" size is light enough for comfortable all-day wear on most garments.
Do you provide design templates specifically for 2" diamond buttons?
Yes. Use the configurator diamond template showing the finished face plus bleed and safe-zone guides. Keep critical text and logos inside the finished face so nothing is lost in the crimp. Templates work with common design tools including Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
Can I order a sample 2" diamond button before placing a large order?
There are no fixed piece-count minimums, but a $30 minimum order value applies. Upload artwork, review the digital proof, and approve before production so you can evaluate print quality before scaling up.
What backing works best for the 2" diamond size and weight?
Pin-back is the stock option for this SKU — the steel safety pin holds securely on most fabrics at approximately 0.37 oz. For magnet-backed products, browse the refrigerator magnets category when available.
