Autonomous Pins! is closing down for a bit.

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


News!: Autonomous Pins is shutting down shop for awhile. Not quite sure how long it'll be. We'll just see how it goes. The reason for this is that I didn't have enough time to dedicate to it and service was suffering because of this. Anyway, keep in touch with us and we'll do the same. Bye!
AutonomousPins is a 2 person, manual press effort. We're musicians and music lovers alike. Our belief is in quality and our output is a testament to this. We print using very high quality laser jet printers. We guarantee you'll be happy with our work or your money will be returned in full. Truly.
Artwork:
All we ask is that you send the highest quality image possible and that it is no smaller than 500x500 pixels. We will also accept artwork in just about any format you can find. Keep in mind that the crappier the image that you send, the crappier your buttons will be.
Payment:
We prefer Paypal (we are paypal verified so you know you can trust us), but will also accept money orders or well HIDDEN cash.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask them. We want to help you get what you want. We got you covered!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



Want free buttons?!?!?!?! Read the blog!

As of now we do hand pressed, high quality, 1 inch pins. These are not ink-jet printed pins, but very high quality, color or black and white, pins printed the same as they would at a professional printing shop.

Who needs buttons? EVERYONE!!! Moms, Dads, bands, grandmas (gma), grandpas (gpa), and....most importantly...YOU DO! We do small runs, big runs, business runs, ski runs and everything inbetween. You have an idea for a really neat button you say? Only want to make a few? We're your man! Just ask and we can work something out.

So here's the deal.....

Full color or black and white:
15cents a button!

Extras:
You can have your buttons printed on plastic transparency paper for .5cents more per button.
Transparency printed buttons are images printed onto clear, acetate sheets. This allows for the metal of the button to show through the, what would be, white portion of your image design. This is a new thing so hurry and get yours so you can say you had them before it was the cool thing to do!

Here is an example of transparency printed buttons:

Another extra would be ordering some slim buttons for.1cent more. Slim buttons are, as the title states, slim and sleek in comparison to the usual, bulbous, buttons. We are the only button producers out there offering this right now. Give em a shot, I'm sure you'll dig em.

There is no mimimum of buttons per order, but anything under 20 is a flat rate of $3.

Design Submission:
We won't design your button for you, but what we will do is insert your image onto the button template. This is a service that we provide for free. If you wish to see a preview of the button before it is printed and pressed, please feel free to ask. We also keep a copy of your image on the template for a year, so if you wish to place another order on the same button design, it's just as easy as asking.

Although if you wish to insert the image onto the template yourself, here is the template that we recommend you use. Keep in mind that it is not mandatory.
template.jpg

Please make sure that the image is atleast 300 dpi , saved at the highest setting because the buttons will only come out as good as the image you send. They'll come out like crap if its a lower resolution file. We'll print whatever you want, just don't expect it to be perfect. We'll do our best to clean it up as much as possible, but we hold no responsibility for dissatisfaction due to lower resolution image/images. So please, make sure to send a hi-res image.

You can have as many designs as you wish per order. Just be reasonable please.

Accepted file types are just about anything you can find.

Turn around time is usually within a week and a half to two weeks. More often than not its sooner. If it's any longer than 2 weeks we'll be sure to let you know. If you wish for us to rush your order to you there is an additional fee of $5

How to order:
Send an email to [email protected] or message us here with the details of your order. By details I mean, amount of buttons you wish and your image along with any special requests (button placement color changes etc.)

How to pay:
We prefer paypal but will accept money orders and well hidden cash, sent at your expense ofcourse (sorry, thats just how it goes.) Paypal gets your pins quicker though. International orders are ok too, it's just going to be a little more for shipping. Please be sure that you contact us before you place an order inquiring about international shipping rates and we'll sort that out for you.

We will also offer a full refund (at our expense) if you are not satisfied with your order.

Not ready to order yet?:
Want a sample of our work? Just ask! We can send you 1 actual button of either full color, black and white, or transparency printed buttons with our logo as an example of the quality of our work. Send us a message with what you would like a sample of, along with your name and address.

Any questions? Please ask! We wanna help you get what you want. So don't hesitate to send an email to [email protected]. Thanks!

Flat pins

Flat pins are buttons that are slimmer and more sleek than traditional bulbous buttons.  This gives them a more unique appeal.  A sample image will be up shortly....

Button contest

Hey People.  We have sadly come to the decision that we cannot continue with the button contest.  We were unable to keep up with it and were losing a bit more than we were gaining.  Hop...
