I just thought I’d let everyone know that we are now a 7 day a week operation. Production runs 7 days a week while our customer service is available from 9am - 6pm est. Monday - Friday.
We’ve seen huge growth this year and we couldn’t have done it without you.
I also wanted to share that this week I hired on an additional (6) new production employees to the PureButtons staff.
Thanks!
PureButtons Staff
I do apologize for not updating the blog in almost 3 weeks. We’ve been extremely busy. I can promise more unique posts will be showing up quickly. I’ll also be posting up some new photos this week for some of our recent orders. Stay tuned!
Thanks for staying patient.

It is every company’s responsibility to be as responsible as possible when it comes to the environment. Here at Pure Buttons, we take that responsibility very seriously. Our shop, uses high efficiency bulbs, they use about 1/10th of the power our other bulbs used and they last 4 times longer. Our button paper is 20% post consumer recycled and is acid free. Our button packaging cards are 30% post consumer recycled. The material that we use to top our buttons is more environmentally friendly and it looks better.
Better buttons for a better world.
Finally, PureButtons is on Twitter. We have gotten a lot of inquires about this, and we made the steps to allow you all to tweet us! Be sure to follow us. Now you can know exactly what we are doing.
We look forward tweeting it up with you!
The Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) is an annual gamer festival held in Washington state, USA. PAX was created by Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik, the authors of the Penny Arcadewebcomic, because they wanted to attend a show that gave equal attention to console gamers, computer gamers, and tabletop gamers. No such show existed, so PAX was born.
Created in 2004, PAX has nearly doubled in size each successive year and has been hailed as a weekend-long celebration of gamer culture. Defining characteristics include an insider keynote speech, game-inspired concerts, panels on game industry topics, exhibitor booths, after-hours parties, tournaments, and freeplay areas.

Furthermore, for this years show, they have decided to use buttons for identification. Here’s an exerpt from the forum:
Alright, here’s the idea guys. We need a form of identification for forumers at PAX. As Moe has suggested, custom made buttons with our name/avatar or whatever would be a great option, but to extend this idea and make it more Penny Arcade-ish I suggest that each get a bunch of buttons and trade one for one when we meet each other. Thus making it a game of “gotta catch them all”.
They continue:
