Button Makers

We have two hand-operated button makers with cutters that make 1¼” and 1¾” size buttons.

If you would like to use the button maker, please request through the online form or in person. Please use the available templates to create the artwork for the button. You will be given a quick walk-through on using the button maker before you begin.

The cost is currently $0.15 per button. Payment is due on the day the buttons are made by cash or cheque only. Cheques are to be made out to “OPIRG McMaster.” If you need help with costs, please submit a request for support to the OPIRG Board of Directors. The button makers are available to OPIRG Working Groups at no cost.
