Why Rush Custom Buttons Are Essential for Time-Sensitive Events
Some deadlines simply cannot move. When your event has a fixed date, turnaround on custom buttons becomes the difference between a successful promotion and a missed opportunity.
- Campaign Rallies & Political Events: Rally dates are locked. Custom button pins for supporters need to be in hand before doors open, not sitting in a shipping warehouse the Monday after.
- Trade Shows & Conferences: Booth materials, staff badges, and promotional buttons are often finalized just days before move-in. Rush production helps you meet exhibit deadlines.
- School Spirit Events & Fundraisers: Game days, pep rallies, and fundraiser kickoffs happen on the school calendar's schedule. There's no rescheduling a homecoming game because your personalized buttons weren't ready.
- Retail Merch Restocks & Product Launches: Missing a launch date with your limited-edition promo buttons costs visibility and sales. Rush options keep your brand on schedule.
- Emergency Replacement Orders: If a pre-ordered shipment arrived damaged or misprinted, you can't wait another two weeks. Rush lets you re-order and get back on track.
Custom buttons are ideal for promotions, events, and giveaways.
What Rush Production Actually Means
Rush gets your order in hand as soon as the next business day (order by 11 a.m. Pacific). Whether your order qualifies depends on shop capacity, quantity, button size, backing type, button shape, and whether you've met the daily cutoff time.
Rush production does not include shipping transit, weekend or holiday closures, or any delays caused by artwork corrections. These are entirely separate from your production window.
Rush Production vs Shipping Time
Understanding the difference between production time and shipping time is the single most important thing for meeting your delivery date.
Production time is the period during which your buttons are physically manufactured: full-color printing, backing application, and packaging. Standard production takes 4 business days. Rush gets your order in hand as soon as the next business day (order by 11 a.m. Pacific). Rush production speed is distinct from shipping speed.
Shipping time starts after production is complete. It depends on the carrier you choose (USPS, UPS, FedEx), the shipping speed selected (ground, overnight), and your destination. Rush production does not speed up shipping transit times.
Cutoff times matter. Each Copyland facility has a daily cutoff. Order by 11 a.m. Pacific time to get your rush order in hand the next business day; otherwise it's in hand in 2 business days. For a Monday morning event, that means an order placed Friday afternoon may not enter production until the following Monday, with earliest completion Tuesday or later. Please note: cutoff times and proof approval both directly affect delivery timing.
Proof approval affects your deadline directly. Approving the digital proof promptly is critical for rush orders. Even with rush priority, failing to approve proofs immediately can make it impossible to meet a tight deadline. We will email you when a proof is ready.
Recommended Products for Rush Custom Button Orders
Not every product, size, or quantity qualifies for rush. Standard shapes and sizes are recommended for rush orders. Here are recommended products for rush orders:
- 1.25" Pinback Buttons - Compact, and ideal for bulk giveaways. Standard tooling means minimal setup time.
- 1.5" Pinback Buttons - Perfect for event giveaways with just enough room for your logo and a clear message.
- 2.25" Pinback Buttons - Statement pieces for campaigns and rallies. Large enough for bold designs with full-color printing options in multiple pinback button sizes, still within standard rush eligibility for most quantities.
- 3" Pinback Buttons - When visibility matters most. These larger pin back buttons are possible for rush but may require more time due to the bigger print area and additional materials.
- 1" Pinback Buttons - Bulk orders. Product pages show a live price as you change size, backing, or quantity.
Custom buttons are available in various sizes from 1 inch to 4 inches.
Custom pinback buttons come in round, square, diamond, octagon, oval, and rectangle shapes.
Standard pin backing is available. It's the default, most-stocked backing type, and requires no specialty tooling.
Magnetic backing buttons - Rush may be available for smaller quantities, but magnetic backings add complexity and may require extra time, especially for large orders.
Why certain sizes rush better: Common sizes (1", 1.25", 1.5", 2.25") use standard tooling that's always ready. These standard products are built to stand up to event use while remaining rush-friendly. Larger sizes or uncommon shapes require additional setup. Custom buttons can be made in sizes up to 4 inches, but larger and specialty items are less likely to qualify for rush tiers.
Quantity limits: Smaller orders (a few dozen to a few hundred) are far more likely to qualify for rush. There is no piece-count minimum; the order minimum is $30.00 before shipping and tax. Once your order grows to a large quantity, the shop may extend timelines, split production into batches, or show rush as unavailable. If you need to order bulk custom buttons, contact support before placing a rush order.
Products that may require extra time: Multiple button sizes in one order, mixed backing types, or rectangle buttons all increase setup complexity. Each variant may need separate tooling or calibration.
How to Place a Rush Button Order Online
The process is straightforward, but every step matters when time is tight. Here's exactly how to get your rush pinback buttons into production.
Step 1: Configure Your Rush Order
Visit the BigDogButtons order configurator and select a rush-eligible button size and backing type. Choose your quantity within the rush limits shown-if rush is available for your configuration, it will appear as an option. Rush fees are displayed during checkout with transparent pricing, so you'll know exactly what the surcharge is before you purchase.
Step 2: Upload Artwork
Upload your own design.
Our designer reviews your artwork and sets it up for printing before you see your proof. Every button is printed in full color and has a clear, glossy mylar cover.
Step 3: Complete Payment and Proof Approval
Payment must process successfully before production begins. If payment is delayed or held for any reason, production waits. Once payment clears, you'll receive a digital proof.
Review your proof immediately. Check placement, spelling, and design layout. You approve a digital proof before production. Checkout may let you skip proof approval when that option is offered. Approve your proof promptly.
Step 4: Production and Delivery
Once your proof is approved, payment confirmed, and artwork finalized, production begins under rush priority.
- For shipped orders: Select an expedited shipping method for urgent needs.
Tips to Avoid Rush Delays
Even with rush priority, small missteps can cost you a full day or more. Follow these tips to keep your custom button order on track:
- Submit artwork early in the business day. Don't wait until afternoon-hitting the cutoff means your order moves to the next business day's production window.
- Approve your digital proof immediately when received. Every hour you wait is an hour closer to your delivery date. This is the single biggest controllable factor in your timeline.
- Contact support before ordering for large quantities. If you need more than a few hundred buttons, or if you need multiple sizes or backing types, call or send a message to confirm rush availability before checkout.
- Choose standard pinback buttons. Pin backing, common sizes (1"–2.25"), single design. Skip mixed SKUs if speed is your priority.
- Build a buffer into your event timeline. Unexpected delays can happen-carrier issues, capacity limits. Having even one extra business day of buffer can help avoid a stressful scramble.

Rush is a 50% surcharge and Expedited 30%. Pricing tiers run past 5,000 pieces. There is no piece-count minimum; the order minimum is $30.00 before shipping and tax. An additional-design fee of $10.00 applies for each design beyond the first on a line.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the turnaround for rush custom buttons?
Rush gets your order in hand as soon as the next business day (order by 11 a.m. Pacific). Not all SKUs or quantities qualify-the online configurator will show what's available for your specific order. To choose your turnaround time, pick your in-hand date on the calendar at checkout.
Does rush production include shipping time?
No. Rush production and shipping are completely separate. Production time covers manufacturing only. Carrier transit time is separate from production and is not guaranteed. Pair rush production with expedited shipping.
How much extra does rush production cost?
Rush fees are shown during checkout in the order configurator. Rush is a 50% surcharge. BigDogButtons shows you the exact rush fee before you pay.
Can every custom button order be rushed?
Rush production is available for most products. There is no piece-count minimum; the order minimum is $30.00 before shipping and tax. The system enables rush options and calendar pick availability at checkout once this threshold is met. However, some orders may still be ineligible due to button size, backing type, SKU mix, or current shop capacity. Very large orders or specialty items (rectangle buttons, magnetic backing) might require extra time and may not qualify for rush. The configurator will indicate rush availability for your specific configuration, reflecting these criteria.
How is a rush order timed?
Rush is tied to when the order is placed. You approve a digital proof before production.
What happens if I miss the cutoff time?
If your order comes in after the facility's daily rush cutoff, it's deferred to the next business day's production capacity. This can add a full day or more to your timeline. To avoid this, submit your order, artwork, and proof approval as early in the business day as possible.
Will my order arrive by my event date?
BigDogButtons cannot guarantee a specific delivery date, as timelines depend on production capacity, proof approval speed, artwork readiness, and shipping conditions. The configurator may show estimated ready dates, but these are subject to all rush criteria being met and external factors like carrier performance. Build in buffer time whenever possible.
What large order quantities qualify for rush production?
Smaller orders are most likely to qualify for rush-typically a few dozen to a few hundred buttons in standard sizes with pinback backing. There is no piece-count minimum; the order minimum is $30.00 before shipping and tax. As quantity increases, rush availability decreases or may not be offered. The configurator will reflect what's available for your specific quantity. If you need a large order on a rush timeline, contact support before placing the order to discuss options.
