The Story of Buttons Toronto

Pressing pin-back buttons for this city since the flip-phone era — part of the T-Shirt Elephant family.

Who we are

Buttons Toronto started with a hand press, a box of steel shells and the belief that a city full of bands, causes and celebrations deserved a local button maker. Millions of buttons later, the presses are faster but the idea hasn’t changed: real buttons, pressed in Toronto, at prices that make mail-order sites look silly once you skip their shipping.

Every button is assembled at our North York shop at Dufferin & Lawrence — steel shell, vibrant full-colour print, glossy protective mylar — by people you can actually call at 647-402-9462.

Part of a bigger family

We share our floor with Button Bros (our online store), Magnet Bros (flat custom magnets) and T-Shirt Elephant, Canada’s largest online custom apparel company. Buttons, magnets, shirts — one Toronto pickup counter covers all three.
