The Tecre Model 225 makes 2-1/4 inch round buttons, the most common size in the button trade. If you are unsure which press to buy, this is usually the right first machine: the parts are the least expensive per piece, the range of backs is the widest, and templates for this size are everywhere.
One machine, five products
The same press and the same printed circle become a different product depending on the back you use. We stock 1,000-piece sets for all of them:
That flexibility is why so many small businesses start here: one machine supplies a whole merch table.

Frequently asked questions
Is 2-1/4 inch big enough for photos?
For a single face or a pet, yes. For group photos and anything that needs a natural photo crop, a rectangle machine suits better.
Can it make other sizes?
No. Each press makes one size.
