General Customs Info:
What is the turn around time for custom orders?:
After you payment and your design files or images are received your order will be finished in about 2 weeks on average, larger orders and those who need more contact with you may take longer.
What about the quality of the buttons?:
Screamteddy Buttons has always gotten great reviews from customers epically stating how high quality our buttons are. We use high quality paper and our printer has always done pretty well at getting little details. We won't say we're the best of the best but we're doing pretty good for over 2 years. We understand you may be worried about the finally look. For those who choose screamteddy to edit the images to button template, you will be given images via e-mail to show how the end product should look pressed so you can ask for any adjustments. We'll do our best to adjust it for you as much as we can. For printing we will also do 1 test print and press per design then scan and e-mail the image to you, this way you can see almost accurately see what the final button will look like. Please do take into consideration that monitor settings, printer settings and scan settings all effect the look and colors.
Why Screamteddy Buttons instead of those generic printing shops that offer slightly cheaper prices?
We try to offer the best prices we can but honestly you could get buttons made slightly cheaper at some generic printing shops online. So you might ask, why choose Screamteddy Buttons for your button needs and not them? Like all printing shops those places IF they are legit will only let their computers automatically arrange your button print them press them and ship them all without even looking at them! You will many times get your order just to have to return it and ask them to do it again wasting your time and money and giving you a whole lot of aggravation and grief! Here at Screamteddy buttons we're just a few people doing everything by hand we actually LOOK and we fix problems BEFORE the order is shipped. We do our best so that your order arrives good the first time. We treat your buttons as if it's our own order and 99% of all the orders placed with us go through with no drama and THAT is how it should be.
About the design\rights:

With your artwork please send us a comment on how you would like the image to be edited the image WILL be cropped and resized to fit in a small circle space. Please let us know what you wish to show for example, the whole image as much as we can fit it (please rem it will be printed on a 1" or 1.5" button the details will not be clear if the image is too small) or just the person/items head, head and shoulders, certain detail on the image..etc.

Those submitting the finished button template ready for printing:
If you don't have one grab a template here:
http://www.americanbuttonmachines.com/Button_Templates.html (recommended)
or
http://buttonmakers.net/button_design_help.htm
your template must be opened/saved in 300 dpi~400dpi we do not print anything smaller. Please double check your colors and contrast adjustments are where you want it. If you don't like it on your screen you won't like it when its printed. Please make sure you considered for the edges of the buttons. Normally for button templates the inner most circle is what will be visable on the pressed button. Buttons with badly cropped images and empty ugly edges where the image just ended will not look their best. I suggest to try to bleed the image around the edge area on the template or use a similar color to the main image to bring attention away from the empty edges.
for help with editing your image designs to templates please check the above websites or submit your work for Screamteddy Buttons to edit instead (see above option) Please also read General Customs Info
Print Press Ship Custom:
Print Press Ship Custom is a service only available to those who are able to edit their images onto the button template themselves and submit the finished templete. We will only print it, press it and ship it to you.
