I am a one-person assembly line here to provide local bands and businesses with cool 1 inch pins to give and sell to their adoring fans;
I am also here to help give publicity and support to any one who supports local music and art.
And yes, I know there are large companies that can produce buttons cheaper than I can. That is because they are large companies and can afford to do so. Where as I cannot.
One thing is for sure, these larger companies dont help you with your template, they dont offer as fast a turnaround, and they certainly dont give away free pins as often as FKB!
Work with me once and youll see for yourself why so many bands and businesses out there choose Factory Kid Buttons.

i will be selling key rings in the near future!!!
the turnaround time on these will be a little different, since i will order in the supplies AFTER you place the order. (which really only adds a few days onto the turnaround time).
prices have not been set yet, but if you are interested let me know and i can give you a quote! they will run slightly more expensive than the pins, but you will also be able to sell them for more money once you have them!!
below is a picture of what the supplies look like, and i will do these the same as the pins, where you send me the art and i place it on the template for you!!

what you need to do:
-send art to pinsbyerin@yahoo.com, or send me your email and i can send you the template to place the art on it yourself. your pins will only turn out as good as the images you use, so i recommend a resolution of 300. and try and remember that these are one inch pins, small details sometimes dont show up as much as they do when you view them on your computer. sometimes it helps to print out a 1 inch version of the image you want to use, to see how well the design will work. and as a tip, detial is much harder to show up on a dark background than it is on white, so if you want fine details try keeping it on a white or light background.
-make sure i know how many pins you are ordering.
-if you live outside of the US make sure you tell me BEFORE MAKING A PAYMENT so that i can figure out a shipping cost for you since it will differ from orders shipped inside the US.
-make payment. you can pay by sending check (madeout to erin shukait) or cash to the address in my blog, or by using the paypal links i have provided. if you mail in payment, make sure you also send in a sheet of paper saying your name, bands name, how many pins you are ordering, and your address so i can get your order back to you!
As far as turnaround rates, it varies as to how many orders i have at a given time. mostly, i can have the pins sent out within a day or two after receiving payment.
And, some bands have been asking me for help in designing some pins for them.
depending on time (which depends on how many orders i have going at once), i can help you with your template.
i do not have time to design an entire button for you, but if you have the art i can help get it to fit the template.
the more i have to do to make it work, the longer it will be before i can actually press your pins (which is sensible).
If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email or comment and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you so much for your support.
