Button University Lesson 10: Badge-a-Minit Button Making Supplies – Size and Other Differences

Hello once again from your button blogging friends at American Button Machines. We are thrilled to have you back for the 10th and final lesson of Button University. (Please, take moment if you need to go grab tissues so you can wipe away the tears.)

Yesterday, we talked about fabric button machines and systems. Today, we are going to talk about Badge-a-Minit Supplies. For some of you, you are asking, “What in the world are Badge-a-Minit supplies?” Let me explain.

There are basically two kinds of button making supplies in the USA.

1. Industry standard button-sized supplies. These supplies fit 99% of all standard-sized button machines. Yes, we are in that 99.9%.

2. Badge-a-Minit sized button supplies. These supplies are slightly larger than the industry standard. They are designed specifically to fit Badge-a-Minit machines. People who are not aware that Badge-a-Minit machines don’t work with the US industry standards can end up wasting a lot of money when they buy the wrong sized button supplies.

To help out our customers, we also offer Badge-a-Minit supplies for a lower price at. Our BAM Supplies are Certified and Guaranteed and Badge-a-Minit “sized”. They will work…hassle-free.

Not only are they less expensive when purchased from us, but our same standard of excellence applies. Here are the differences between their supplies and our BAM Supplies.

Difference #1
Badge-a-Minit buttons have large round holes where the pin is inserted. Our supplies have a small, oval pinhole, which is more appealing visually and reduces what is known as “pin rattle”.

Difference # 2
Badge-a-Minit places their name and phone number on the back of their parts. Every button you sell is free advertising for Badge-a-Minit. When your customers need more supplies, they could call Badge a Minit instead of you! We don’t do that.

Difference # 3
We take the worry and frustration out of using Badge-a-Minit button supplies. All of our Badge-a-Minit-sized button parts have been designed specifically to fit Badge-a-Minit button machines. Certified and Guaranteed to work with your Badge-a-Minit Machine. In fact, our customers tell us when they bought their Badge-a-Minit parts from Badge-a-Minit, they experienced unacceptable failure rates. Once they switched over to BAM parts from American Button Machines, it was like getting a new machine!

You can rest easy knowing you are covered by our money back guarantee. We are so confident you will love our supplies, if you think our BAM parts do not work better than Badge-a-Minit’s, simply return them for a refund.

So there you have it. Button University has concluded! We’ve enjoyed having you as a part of the lessons. And we’ll continue to educate and inform you about the wonderful world of buttons here at The Button Blog.
