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 explain there are two major
differences; the speed at which you can make buttons and the
quality of the buttons each machine makes.
While some customers might
be 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 each machine produced.
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 using 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 anyone who
is trying to start their own button 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,
on a tight budget and only looking to make a few buttons for
your students, the BAM handpress will probably serve your needs.
But if you are trying to make
buttons as a fundraiser or to sell to customers who will expect
better quality, you really should purchase the better button
machine.
