PRICE LIST:

Please note, we have held our prices steady since 1996 while shipping prices steadily increased and supply prices almost doubled. In order to continue to provide competent, courteous service, we have reluctantly increased our prices for 1999.

Note, quantity pricing is for each design.  For example, if you order 1,000 buttons
in two different designs (500 of each), the price is .55 per button for a total of
$311.45 + $311.45 = $622.90 for all 1000, if shipped by ground.

                                                                      EXAMPLE

Design Services: If you want us to professionally design and lay out your cool button idea, supply a description, sketch, etc. and we'll do the artwork for $20 per button design. Please allow 3 or 4 extra days for us to create the design and get your approval.

Photos: If you are sending an image or photo to be scanned (no copyrighted images, please), add $5.00 per image.

Washington State Residents must add sales tax of 7.8%.

How to Submit Button Orders:

There are three ways to submit orders.

1. You do the artwork. You can supply the artwork and we'll work with you to get it printed and manufactured into a button.
2. We do the artwork. So you're not an artist, but you have a great idea? You can supply an idea, a sketch, a slogan, and we'll design and layout the button for you for a design and layout fee of $20 (add $5 if we have to scan a photo or illustration).
3. You do the printing. You supply the printed sheets and we make them into buttons. Important: please contact us about print specifications before doing this.

Ideal Sizes: (for 2.25" in small quantities, contact us if you need other sizes, or larger quantities)
300 or 600 dpi are ideal, make sure the image fits in a 2.25" circle, but MAKE THE margins at least 3.25", as there needs to be overlap for the part that fits around the edge of the button. Either RGB or CMYK is fine. Shades of red, orange and yellow show up better than greens, which tend to print darker than you might expect. We use a thermal wax process to print the images, which looks great to 99% of the population.
(If you want something super high quality for a specialized application, we recommend you go to a standard printing press, not us (which is expensive, but might be what you need).)

How to Send Us Your Graphics Files:
Here are your options for sending us your graphics files to turn into buttons. It's a good idea to send the file in two or three file formats, and to compress it with Stuffit, MacCompress, LHA or PKZip before uploading. Make sure you upload in binary format:

1. Preferred! send files over the Internet:
   
   1. Compress your binary graphics file with Stuffit, MacCompress, LHA or PKZip
   2. ftp to ftp.portal.com
   3. Log on with the username anonymous and use your email address as the password.
   4. CD pub/abiogenesis/buttons/uploads
   5. Upload your file(s)
   6. Let us know it's there (by email, fax or phone)

2. OR: If you have a BBS or an ftp site (preferred), we can probably download the file directly from your site. We recommend you save it in two or three formats, just in case one works better than another.

3. OR: Use your Internet mail program (Pine, Pegasus, etc.) and send the file as a binary file attachment to a message with information about your order.

4. OR: You can mail us a 3.5" diskette.
