  • Our take on the Tecre Button Maker Machine

    The Tecre Button Maker Machine is a heavy-duty, hand-press button maker sold in 1.5-inch and 1.837-inch die sizes. Tecre presses are known in the button-making community for all-metal construction and clean, repeatable crimps, which is why they cost far more than hobby presses. Only one store lists it new, so there is no meaningful price history to compare against.

    Cons

    Questions and answers

    What button sizes does it make?
    Listings show 1.5-inch and 1.837-inch sizes. Each size needs its own die, so confirm which die comes with the press before buying.
    Does it come with button parts?
    Usually not. Button shells, backs and mylar covers are bought separately in bulk, and the press is just the machine.
    Can it make pin-back and magnet buttons?
    Yes, with the right button parts. The same press handles pin-backs, magnets and keychains as long as you use matching-size components.
    Why is only one store selling it new?
    Tecre sells mainly through its own channels and a few craft suppliers, so new listings are sparse and prices rarely compete.
    When is the best time to buy?
    Craft-supply sales around holidays are the usual window. With a single new listing, there is little to wait for.
    Is it worth the money?
    Only if you make buttons regularly. For occasional crafts, a plastic hobby press costs far less; for steady production, the metal build pays off.
    Where is the Tecre Button Maker Machine cheapest?
    At Brick City Button Makers, for $410.00, 17% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
    Where can I buy the Tecre Button Maker Machine?
    5 stores we checked sell it, including S&S Worldwide, Opentip.com, Quill, Brick City Button Makers, Etsy.
