Button Badges Artwork Guide

We will be using your artwork to fill your order - and of course the badges can only be as good as any artwork supplied. Remember the finished badge is one inch in diameter (25mm) and circular so make sure your artwork takes this into account. Very intricate designs or too many words are not usually a good idea.

If we feel that the supplied artwork is unsuitable for a button badge or is of too poor quality, we will inform you and try to offer suggestions to improve it. If we are unable to use your artwork we will offer you a refund rather than produce badges you won't be happy with.

TOP TIP: Do not draw your own circle around your design - unless you want a circle to appear on your finished badges that is. We use cutters to cut the exact size and have our own templates to work from. If you want to draw a circle as a guide send us two versions of the design - one with the circle and one without.

Please also bear in mind that although we do our best to match colours, the printing process will inevitably slightly alter some colours. And what a colour looks like on a brightly lit computer screen won't be exactly the same on a button badge anyway.

How do I send you my artwork?

You can send your artwork to us by email or by post. Email is best - it's quick and easy for both you and us.

If e-mailing your artwork please follow these instructions:

If sending a PhotoShop image (.psd)
  • Your artwork should fit within a 25mm circle and so if sending a .psd file, ideally it needs to be at 300dpi and the design needs to be 295 pixels in diameter (including any white border)

  • If you want your design to bleed around the edge of the badge, add 2mm for bleed (your design will then be 319 pixels in diameter at 300dpi)

  • please ensure your artwork is formatted for a PC - we do not use Macs
If sending any other image (including .tif, .pdf or .jpg)
  • We will resize your artwork here and will get better results if your artwork is larger than button badge size, especially if it is a .jpg

  • That said, please don't email very large pieces of artwork

  • if possible make sure your artwork is two to three inches in diameter (5-8cm) so that we can reduce it to the exact size required for button badges
  • please ensure your artwork is formatted for a PC - we do not use Macs
If sending your artwork as a Word document
  • Our least favourite format because Word does not share documents well between computers

  • What we will do is look at the Word document received and send you a .jpg version of your artwork so that you can see exactly what we have received

  • Word is at least a good way to let us see what you are trying to achieve design wise - we can usually make good any Word problems
If you don't have any artwork as such
  • Send what you have - a logo, a photo or an image - and we will do our best to transform it into a button badge

  • We can add text here

  • We do not charge any extra for simple designs
If sending your artwork on a floppy disk or a CD-R:
  • if possible make sure your artwork is sized as above depending on the format

  • please ensure your artwork is formatted for a PC - we do not use Macs.

  • if you are scanning artwork it will look best at a minimum of 300dpi minimum
You can send discs and artwork by post to:

I don't have any artwork - can you help?
If you want something simple - for example text only on a badge such as SAVE OUR SCHOOL - we can probably help you. We can do this for you free of charge. We recently did a simple but very effective Save Our School badge by printing black on brightly coloured fluorescent paper. If you are looking for something more detailed and can't produce the artwork yourself, we suggest you ask a friend with a graphics package on their computer to help you out.

What about . . . ?
If you have any other questions or queries, please e-mail us and we will do our best to answer them.		 Step 1 - artwork
