Eco-friendly backer cards for enamel pin packaging and custom button packs

Backer Cards

Backer Cards are perfect for pinning your buttons or enamel pins. Items are pinned directly to a high quality card stock backer card, that can be printed on both sides. There’s no plastic bagging so this is great if you want to reduce plastic use, and make your packs a eco-friendly. There is so much customization with this option, you can create single pin-packs, or mix and match designs to create a collectible set. The coolest part? You can choose to place your pins wherever you like on the card to integrate into your design. This low-cost professional option is great for table top displays, hang shelves, trade shows, or direct to customer sales.
