Love using the build a button and that is gives a preview for customers
Jaimie · August 28, 2026
I couldn’t be happier with my American Button Machines button makers. Each size has its own strengths and fills a different need perfectly. The 1-inch machine is great for creating fun, detailed buttons that people love to collect and wear. The 2¼-inch machine is the workhorse of the group and produces the classic button size that works well for just about any event or promotion. The 3-inch machine really stands out when you want something larger and more noticeable that grabs people’s attention.
What impresses me most is the quality of the machines themselves. They are sturdy, easy to use, and consistently produce professional-looking buttons. It’s clear that these machines were built to last. If you’re looking for reliable button makers backed by excellent craftsmanship, American Button Machines is hard to beat. Highly recommended!
