Custom buttons only work if they stand out, and Busy Beaver Buttons & Merch has been helping brands like Target, LUSH Cosmetics, and Hilton do just that since 1995. Their digital button printing services deliver sharp artwork, accurate colors, and a range of sizes, shapes, and special effects like matte, sparkle, or glow-in-the-dark, so every branded button feels like a mini billboard for your campaign.
For teams that want to create a full merch moment, Busy Beaver also offers different packaging options like button packs and backer cards, and products like custom stickers to turn any event into a cohesive, collectible set. Buttons pass through hands-on quality control at every step, from a real person reviewing your design before printing to making sure each order is wrapped and shipped with care.
