Guide to designing your button
Don't have time or the resources to design your own button? No problem, we can take care of that for you!

  • First, please describe in detail in the Design Order Form (below) what you would like the buttons to look like. This is will make the designing stage quick and easy. You can also upload elements that you'd like us to include in your design.
  • Before we send you a proof, we will quote you based on your description. After you approve the price, we will send you a proof. If you love it, great! If you want to make changes we can. You can make up to two more revisions before any additional charges. After three proofs, it's an additional $5 which will take you to three more proofs (and so on). To continue with additional proofs you then would need to either pay for the design and the additional $5 charge for additional edits or you can just go ahead and order the entire buttons (design and production). In any case, once you approve your design, we will send you instructions to place your order along with a design code (you'll be asked for that later) or if you've already paid for it, we'll be ready to print the buttons when the proofing is done.

Cost
If you are uncertain of the cost of your design request, let us know before we send the first proof. We will be in contact with you within 24 hours during business hours (Monday-Friday). If you make a order on the weekend, expect to get a response on that Monday.

FAQ
How should I submit a graphic to use on my button design request?

    Please use our handy upload tool on the Design Service Order Form below. We accept almost any format (e.g. PSD, EPS, TIF, PCT, BMP, AI, PDF, JPG, GIF, PNG, etc.). JPG files need to be sent at highest quality with least compression. You can also send us via mail unscanned artwork in original form or copied. If you can, scan the artwork at 300ppi (pixels per inch). If not 300ppi, try to not go below 220ppi.

Could I see samples of previous Design Service work?
