Made in Canada — No Customs, No Delays, No Currency Conversion

Why does Made in Canada matter for custom buttons? Three reasons every Canadian buyer should know:

  1. No customs delays. Importing buttons from US or Chinese suppliers can mean 2–4 weeks of shipping plus unpredictable border holds. Production takes 2–7 business days after proof approval, and standard shipping inside Canada takes 1–5 business days depending on your province.
  2. No surprise duties or brokerage fees. US suppliers often quote a low price that balloons once UPS or FedEx tacks on $15–$50 brokerage fees plus GST/HST at the border. Our prices are CAD, all-in, with HST/GST calculated at checkout — no border surprises.
  3. CAD pricing, no currency fluctuation. Order from a US supplier and your $50 USD button order becomes $68+ CAD after exchange and credit card fees. Our prices are quoted and charged in Canadian dollars.

Custom buttons Canada customers also benefit from local customer support during Canadian business hours and same-day digital proofs for orders placed before 3 PM ET.

Custom Buttons vs Magnets vs Stickers vs Patches — Which Is Right?

Wondering whether buttons are the right choice for your project? Quick comparison:

Buttons vs Magnets

Buttons attach to clothing with a pin — best for events, campaigns, and wearable identifiers. Magnets stick to fridges, filing cabinets, and metal — best for take-home keepsakes and ongoing marketing. Read the full Buttons vs Magnets comparison.

Round vs Square Buttons

Round is the classic standard and what most people picture. Square offers a modern aesthetic that stands out on a table of round competitors. See Round vs Square Buttons.

Buttons vs Stickers

Buttons are wearable and reusable. Stickers are flat, single-application, and cheaper per unit at high volumes. Most brands use both — buttons at events, stickers in packaging.

Buttons vs Patches

Buttons pin on instantly. Patches are sewn or ironed permanently and look more refined on jackets, hats, and uniforms. Different use cases — buttons for events, patches for branded apparel.

GST, HST & QST — How Taxes Work for Button Orders in Canada

As a Canadian business shipping within Canada, we charge the appropriate sales tax based on your shipping province:

  • BC, Saskatchewan, Manitoba — 5% GST + provincial sales tax (PST) where applicable
  • Quebec — 5% GST + 9.975% QST

No minimum. Order one button or one million — same per-unit tier pricing kicks in automatically at checkout. Unlike most Canadian button suppliers that require 50–100 minimum, we have no minimum on any size.

Production takes 2–7 business days after you approve your free digital proof.

Do you charge GST/HST on custom button orders? ↓

Do you offer wholesale pricing for Canadian distributors? ↓

Yes. Promotional product distributors, branding agencies, and resellers can email us for volume pricing on large or repeat orders. Visit our wholesale page or contact us.

Will I pay customs fees or brokerage charges? ↓

No — every order ships domestically within Canada, so there are no customs fees, no duties, and no brokerage charges. The price you see at checkout is the final price (plus applicable GST/HST/QST). This is one of the biggest advantages of ordering from a Canadian button manufacturer vs a US or international one.

How durable are custom buttons? ↓

Our pin-back buttons are made with steel shells, a Mylar film layer for scratch and water resistance, and a sharp safety-locked pin on the back. They last for years of regular wear without fading, scratching, or rusting. Mylar protection means the artwork stays vibrant even when worn outdoors.

Can you handle rush orders for events or deadlines? ↓

Yes — we offer rush production (next-business-day) on most orders for an additional fee. Combined with overnight shipping (Purolator Express or Canada Post Priority), we can get custom buttons from Canadian order to Canadian door in 2–3 calendar days for most postal codes. Contact us with your deadline to confirm timing.

What cities in Canada do you serve? ↓

We serve every city and town in Canada. Our dedicated city pages cover the biggest markets: Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg, and Halifax. We also ship to smaller cities, towns, and remote postal codes nationwide.

How does your pricing compare to US button suppliers? ↓

When you factor in currency conversion (USD to CAD adds ~37%), brokerage fees ($15–$50 per shipment), customs/duty charges, and longer shipping times, US button suppliers are almost always more expensive once the order actually lands at your door. Our CAD pricing is all-in, with no surprises. Plus you get faster shipping, Canadian customer support, and Canadian business hours.
