HOW  DO I PLACE MY ORDER?

There are TWO PARTS to placing a custom 3.5 Inch Round Magnets order:

1. Placing the order on the website

2. Submitting artwork (or arranging for artwork to be created for you)

First, please select from the available options below. Here is an explanation of the options for your 3.5 Inch Round Magnets order:

QUANTITY

There are price breaks by the quantity of items you require as stated below. Enter the total number of 3.5 Inch Round Magnets you would like in the quantity box at the bottom and the website will calculate the price in relation to your other chosen options.

ARTWORK SUBMISSION OPTIONS:

• OPTION 1: Place my uploaded artwork in the design template, email digital proof for approval: Upload your unformatted image below and we will email you a proof in our design template for your approval.

• OPTION 2: I will provide properly formatted artwork (please read submission guidelines)- This option requires you to download our design template to your computer and create artwork or place your artwork into our design template using an image editing program like Photoshop, GIMP, or InDesign. We will review your artwork and let you know if we have any questions. You can upload your artwork with your order, or email it to us at portlandbuttonworks@gmail.com. Placing your order, even without the artwork, holds your place in our production queue.

• OPTION 3: I will use the Design-O-Matic to submit artwork - This option requires you to use our online Design-O-Matic program. The Design-O-Matic is a simplified web-based  image editing program that will allow you to upload an image, size the image to fit, add text, and change text and background colors. It’s pretty neat! You can store multiple designs and submit the ones you would like from your overview. We will check the artwork before printing and let you know if we have any questions. We will save your artwork for up to two years.

• OPTION 4: Please create my design for me and send me a proof for approval - (Please write specifics in the order comments) This requires us to design 1 piece of artwork for you. Please write a detailed description of what you would like in the order comments including colors, image placements, and font styles. Feel free to upload any design elements images you would like. We will allow for up to two redesigns.

PAPER OPTIONS

Most of our orders are printed on high quality white laser printer paper but we do offer other options like silver, gold, or clear if you wanted to add a little pizzazz to your order. These may change the color or clarity of your image. The clear plastic utilizes the silver from the shell of the button as a background color so what appears white will be silver. Check the photo gallery for samples.

UPLOAD OPTION

Upload your completed artwork or your images if you want us to place your artwork or  create artwork for you. If you have multiple designs you MUST upload one design, add quantity and other options, then add it to your cart. Do this for each design. This will show us the quantity for each design easily as separate items in the invoice but still allow for total quantity discounts. If you try to upload a design without doing this, only one design will be uploaded. 

Also, we’ve had people think that the artwork is not uploaded because they do not see a graphic image. When you upload here it will show up as a file name, not a graphic image. In our admin we can grab your artwork off our server.

INSTAGRAM OPTION

Put your instagram name in the order comments and we’ll post a photo of your completed buttons to our instagram and give you a shout out. @porltandbuttonworks and @spiralhouseshop

QUANTITY

Here’s the box where you enter the quantity of the total number of items for your order if you have one design, or the quantity corresponding to each artwork uploaded if you have multiple designs. If you are emailing artwork or have artwork submitted through the Design-O-Matic, feel free to list the quantity breakdown in the order comments.

After that, carry on to the checkout. There will be a space for order comments if you have any questions or would like to state concerns or deadlines...

OTHER  FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What is your preferred file type? We have a few different file types for our templates  like the simple jpg but also layered templates as .psd (PhotoShop Document) and .ai (Adobe Illustrator) files. We use Photoshop and also have access to the open source program GIMP. We would prefer flattened and print ready .psd or .pdf files. We also accept .png, tif., and jpg. files. Please DO NOT send word or powerpoint files.

How many designs can I have with my order? You may have up to 5 designs for orders with a quantity under 100 and up to 10 for orders over that.

I’m in Portland, can I pick my order up instead of having it shipped? Yes! We have an option for that through our checkout system. We will email you a link to schedule your pick up when your order is completed.

Do I have to pay online? Nope. If you would like to pay when you pick the order up there is an option for that at checkout. If you would like to send a check, we have that option too.

How long do you keep my artwork on file? We keep artwork on file for 1 year on the website and 2 years in the Design-O-Matic, If you would like us to keep your artwork on file longer, let us know. We keep files for repeat clients saved locally and to the cloud.

How do you package the buttons? We are moving away from plastic zip bags and moving toward paper bags. If you would like a plastic zip bag, please request in the order commenets.

I’ve placed my order and submitted my artwork, what happens next? Check your email! If you have not received a confirmation email please check your spam folder and make sure have not mistyped your email address. (hey, it happens) We will send emails directly from our website to update you as to where your order is in our work queue. We’ll even let you know when they go into production. We will also send you an email update with a tracking number when your order ships or information on how to arrange a time and date to pick your order up in North Portland.

How long until my order is done? The biggest factor for this is when we get your properly formatted or final approval of artwork. Once we have properly formatted artwork, if the order is under 500 buttons the turn around is generally 1-3 of our work days, 500 - 1,000 3-7 days, over 1000 up to 5-14 days. If you have a deadline please put that is your order comments,
