Customers often ask me to explain
the difference between our button machines and the inexpensive
hand press and bench press systems made by Badge-A-Minit.
I will tell them there are two major differences; the speed at which you can make buttons and the quality of the buttons each machine will make.
While some customers are willing to accept a slower machine to begin with, I always wonder how it would affect their decision if they could see for themselves the difference in the quality.
In this series of photographs,
the button made with the Badge-A-Minit hand press is on
the left, while the button made with our Model 225 button
machine is on the right.
The red lines in the photo (shown above) point out one of the biggest complaints people have with buttons made using the inexpensive BAM machines. Notice the "bumps" or points on the side of the button. The button is "out of round" and does not have the look of a professional quality button.
Now look at the button made
with our Model 225. Notice how perfectly round and smooth its
edges are!
Now take a look at the photograph
below. It shows the back side of both buttons.
Again the Badge-A-Minit 2-1/4" is on the left, while the button made with the Model 225
is on the right.
Notice if you will that BAM's name and telephone number are stamped on the back of their button parts (another frequent complaint, especially from those who are trying to start their own business).
Notice that the back of our
button has nothing stamped on it (but there is plenty of room
to place the FREE stickers we to provide customers who ask for
them. Stickers that allow you put YOUR information on the back
of the buttons you make).
The reason for pointing out these differences is to assist you in making an informed choice.
If you are a kindergarten teacher whos is on a tight budget and you are only looking to make a few buttons for your students, the BAM handpress will probably serve your needs.
But if you will be making buttons as a fundraiser or selling them to customers who are going to expect better quality, you really should purchase the better button machine.
