About this product

Locking-Pin & Magnet-Back Buttons

The back is the reason a button gets worn or gets pocketed. A standard safety pin is perfect on a jacket or a canvas bag and a genuine problem on a knitted jumper, a silk blouse or a good suit lapel — a pin leaves a hole, and people who know that simply do not put it on.

A magnet back solves it. The shell carries a magnet and a separate keeper sits behind the fabric, so the button holds firmly with nothing pierced. It is the format to order when the audience is wearing something they care about, and it is why magnet-back buttons are worn far more hours per unit than pinned ones.

A locking pin is the other answer, for buttons that have to stay square through a long day of movement rather than swivelling on a single pivot, and a bulldog clip suits lanyards, pockets and anywhere a hole is not an option and a magnet is not either. We will tell you which back suits the audience you are describing.

Donor events, staff and volunteer teams, conferences, and any audience wearing clothes a pin would spoil. Send your artwork and quantities for a free mockup and quote on custom magnet-back buttons today.

FAQ

Locking-Pin & Magnet-Back Buttons: quick answers

What is the minimum order for locking-pin and magnet-back buttons?

Minimum order is just 12 — with bulk pricing tiers as quantities grow.

How fast will my order arrive?

Your free mockup lands within 24 hours and the finished order ships in about 2 weeks — express turnaround is available for tight dates.

Will a magnet back hold on a heavy coat?

On most knitwear, shirting and suiting, comfortably. On a thick winter coat the gap between magnet and keeper gets too large and a pin or a clip is the better answer — tell us what people will be wearing and we will specify it.

Are magnets safe around cards and devices?

Treat them as you would any fridge magnet: keep them away from hotel key cards, older magnetic-stripe cards and anything with a mechanical watch movement. We note that on the packing slip so recipients are not surprised.
