2. How Churches Can Benefit From , Owning a button Press and Using it for Fun Raisers
Churches are one of the biggest and the best fund raising organization in the present world,
because most people have a hard time saying no to giving to God, and that’s great for the up
keeping and meeting the general expenses of a church. Fundraising brings people and talents
together in all sorts of new and interesting ways. Fundraising events also tend to offer an
opportunity for the participants to socialize and get to know new people. Church fundraising is not
a simple task and one needs to think of the best approach in order to organize a successful
fundraising event. When the time comes to start thinking of church fund raising ideas, clearly the
thing one would be most of the organizations are concerned with is making a decent profit. There
are various ideas for fundraising by churches.
One very good fundraising mechanism for churches can be to own a button press. Buttons can be
promoted during a fundraising event, and can be sold along with the other items ranging from a
bike to other large donated articles. The buttons can be promoted using ideas like, buttons of
hope. Buttons of hope are buttons that have a photo of some one special on it. Wearing a button
with an imprint of a picture of a loved one tends to give a sense of honor and pride to the person
wearing it and also proves to strengthen the bonding between two individuals. This way the
people would collect and buy a lot of buttons from the church and since it is something that is
being manufactured by the church itself, the amount of profit made will also tend be more.
Buttons can also be used as a medium to advertise about the church. They can be used to
promote about the church simply by printing its name and contact information, like a phone
number or website, on it or they can also be used to promote something special like an upcoming
events like church events, missions, or other fundraising activities and thus can prove to be a very
handy yet simple advertising tool. Organizations who own a button tool have tremendous
flexibility and avenues for creativity and thus churches can attract more charity donors by making
use of the press.
Buttons can also be dealt to appeal to certain demographic by stressing a kid's activities or special
events for seniors. One of the greatest and most rewarding uses of a button machine is the
creation of novelty items that can be an excellent addition to the list of original fundraising ideas.
Buttons can also advertise new services, for instance a contemporary jeans and sneakers service
featuring contemporary Christian rock instead of traditional hymns. In this case, perhaps clergy
and those working with the youth as well as church members can sport their great promotional
buttons. These are some of the many benefits that a church has if it ever decides to own a button
press.

3. How To Create A Professional Button Badge
Button badges have become a style statement among the Gen-X teenagers and adults alike, they
are also seen as a collectable item. To make a professional button badge the first thing that one
requires is a specific badge-making machine. The machine assembles and presses different parts
of the badge together. The second decision to make is regarding the size of the badge. The size of
a badge can vary any where between 25mm to 120mm; the 1’ ones are the most popular
amongst the lot and have a metal or safety pin at the back.
The design of the badge can be considered as the major challenges while creating a button badge.
The design can be made, by hand or by using graphic editing software like Adobe Photoshop etc.
In order to design a badge, first of all a template of the design should be created for which three
different size circles needs to be drawn within each other. The size of each of those three circles
depends on the size of the button that is to be made. The innermost circle becomes the face or
image area of the badge, where the design of the badge is made. The text or artwork should be
inserted in the inner circle and should not be extended outside of the image area circle. Once the
artwork has been centered within the image area circle, the image area circle needs to be
deleted; otherwise it tends to become a part of the design and would be shown on the face of the
badge. The second circle or the middle circle is called the bleed in printing terms because it
ensures that the background color goes over the edge of the button. The outer circle is called the
cut line as the badge is cut out from the outer circle. It is really important to make the outer circle
so that the off-center design does not get cut off from the badge. Once all of these things are in
place, the designs should be now ready for printing and cutting.
The next step is to print the design in small quantities or in bulk. Designs can be printed with
inkjet or laser printer. The paper material user for printing must be of good quality and needs to
be chosen with utmost care. After the design has been printed it is now ready for cutting. There
are different ways of cutting out the designs, some of which are graphic punch, adjustable rotator
cutter, cutting by hand and the volume cut press.
The most basic and simple way of cutting would be to do it manually by using a pair of scissors or
box cutters. An adjustable rotator cutter is good for those looking to do multiple sizes. Graphic
punch is also a good option, as it is a lot faster and accurate compared to the other cutting
techniques. Volume cutters are the best choice for professional button makers. It is easy to use,
can do multiple sizes and cuts through 30 pages of graphics at once.
Now that the designs have been cut out, it is time for the badge-making machine to do the last
part. The cut out design, the metal shells and a thin plastic cover all needs to be placed in to the
machine and once this is done, the badge is released out from the machine. A pin needs to be
attached at the back of the metal shell and the button badge should be ready to be put to use.
