Questions about buttons and badges
What size should I print a 2¼" button?
On a 2⅝" circle (66.7 mm). The extra 4.8 mm on each side wraps around the button. The table above lists every size.
Does MagLab work with my button maker?
Yes. MagLab prints the paper circles, so it works with any button maker. If yours needs a different size, set it in the template designer.
What paper should I use?
Regular printer paper, 80–100 gsm (20–24 lb). Thicker paper can jam the press or tear the film.
Can I make badges with names on them?
Yes. Paste a list of names or import a spreadsheet, and MagLab puts one name on each badge.
Can I design my buttons in Canva?
Yes. Use the PNG from a button template as a guide in Canva, export your designs, then add them to MagLab.
