Ideas for buttons

What purposes can buttons actually be used for? The sky's the limit – and time and again, we see customers using buttons in ways we would never have thought of ourselves.

Here are a few ideas of what you can do with buttons:

Sayings buttons

Wearing casual sayings on your chest and sparking conversation is one of the classic approaches. Quick-fix badges are particularly well-suited for this; even small batches of saying badges are incredibly easy to produce – and you can vary the sayings. This way, you can accentuate your outfit and (more or less) stand out. Of course, these sayings have to be short and snappy. When it comes to saying badges, anything that's fun is allowed! And if a group of people wear the same saying or have sayings that relate to each other, the fun factor increases by 100 percent.

City buttons

It's been a familiar sight with T-shirts and sweatshirts for some time now: No matter how small the town, you'll eventually find someone proudly sporting the name of their birthplace or favorite city on their clothing. Of course, something like this is also possible with buttons, and it's even much easier – because a pin button (link to the new pin button content page) can be pinned onto practically any T-shirt or sweater, thus demonstrating local patriotism as needed and depending on the weather.

Buttons with slogans

Similar to slogan buttons, but here a clear statement is intended, be it in support of a political movement or a product. In the first case, the buttons are often distributed by political parties; in the second example, it might be used in conjunction with the launch of a new product. The idea here is that the wearers are directly involved in the campaign, which can then go viral—to use a modern technical term here. A classic that everyone knows and that has been and continues to be spread via buttons: Nuclear power? No thanks.

Button with name

From children's birthday parties to newly formed school classes to international conferences: Wherever strangers meet, the use of badges with first names, last names, or other information about the wearer (country, company, etc.) is a good idea. Badges with names are particularly inviting to get in touch with the wearer. If the badges are then designed in an appealing color scheme, nothing stands in the way of a quick introduction.
