"Quality Designs for Quality People"

Pin back buttons have been around for over one hundred years. The early celluloid pin backs produced back as early as 1876 were for political elections, giveaways and handouts. Then in the war years of WWI and the 1920's, lithographed tin buttons were introduced. They were used to advertise everything from the War Savings Campaigns, Salvation Army and The American Red Cross. In WWII, patriotic buttons were big, and in the 1960's peace and other "cause" buttons were created.

We started designing and producing buttons in 2002, and we're getting a reputation of having quality items with excellent customer service. It started as just something to fool around with, but became interesting with all the people we have met who collect, and want pin back buttons designed for their businesses and events.

Garlock's Designs is a family owned and operated business offering 3 sizes of individually hand pressed pin back buttons and magnets. 3 1/2" round, with or without cardboard easels. The cardboard easel allows the pin back to sit like picture. 2 1/4" round and 1 1/2" round pin backs are also available. We also produce 2 1/4" round and 3 1/2" round magnets. Each of our pin backs and magnets are individually packaged in their own zip lock bag to prevent scratching. We also inspected every item before shipment so you are ensured of a high quality item. We're located in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., and we would like to design and produce some pin back buttons or magnets for your business or event. Give us a call and see what we can do for you.
