What the listings tell you, and what they leave out
This roundup compares 5 listings. Of the 5, 3 state a 1 year warranty term, and 2 offer free replacement or refund with no term stated. Only 1 listing states a safety feature, a 3 mm safety gap on the Caydo BM Pro. Only 1 listing describes an electric press, and the rest describe presses worked by hand.
One listing contradicts itself on size: the nice2have title lists 2.5 inch, while its spec table reads 2.25 inch. This roundup follows the title and lists 1, 1.25 and 2.5 inch for that kit.

Buying guide: choosing the best small button maker
Sizes: 32 mm, 58 mm and multi-size kits
Button size is the diameter of the finished pin. The YYMTTOR kit makes 32 mm buttons, and the Happizza 58mm machine makes 58 mm buttons. The Happizza 32+58mm kit covers 32 mm and 58 mm with 2 replaceable button-models. The Caydo BM Pro covers 1, 1.25 and 2.25 inch with 3 molds. The nice2have kit covers 1, 1.25 and 2.5 inch with multiple size molds.
Electric or manual press
The Caydo BM Pro is the only electric press here. Its listing describes motorized pressing at the press of a button, a built-in digital counter, and output of up to 165 buttons per hour. The other presses work by hand.
Supplies in the box
Supplies decide how many pins a kit makes before a refill is needed. The Caydo BM Pro kit holds 300 button-making sets, with 100 sets for each size. The Happizza 32+58mm kit holds 200 sets, with 100 sets of 32 mm parts and 100 sets of 58 mm parts. The nice2have kit holds 500 buttons plus 15 fridge magnets, 15 bottle openers and 15 keychain buttons. The Happizza 58mm kit holds 100 button parts and 100 pictures. The YYMTTOR kit holds 100 button parts and 100 plastic films.
What a button maker will not do
No listing here states a printer, so artwork is placed into the mold by hand, as the listings describe. No listing here states a button diameter above 2.5 inch. The Happizza 32+58mm listing states that other sizes of button-models can be purchased separately.
Project Match
- Pin badges for events and gifts: the Happizza 58mm machine and the YYMTTOR kit, each built around a fixed size with 100 parts in the box.
- Two sizes in the box: the Happizza 32+58mm kit, with 32 mm and 58 mm button-models and 200 sets.

FAQ: lasers and CNC
What is a button maker?
A button maker is a press that joins a metal shell, artwork and a transparent film with a pin back to form a finished pin badge. The listings describe placing the shell, artwork and film into a mold, pressing, then adding the pin back and pressing again.
What button sizes do these machines make?
The machines here make 32 mm (1.25 inch), 58 mm (2.25 inch), 1 inch and 2.5 inch buttons, depending on the kit. The Caydo BM Pro and the nice2have kit each cover 3 sizes, while the Happizza 32+58mm kit covers 2 sizes.
Do button maker kits come with supplies?
Yes. Every kit here lists button parts in the box, from 100 parts in the fixed-size kits to 500 buttons in the nice2have kit. Circle cutters are listed with every kit here.
What is the difference between an electric and a manual button maker?
An electric press drives the pressing action with a motor, while a manual press is worked by hand. In this roundup, the Caydo BM Pro is the electric pick, with a digital counter and a listed output of up to 165 buttons per hour. The other 4 presses are manual.
