LEGENDING OPTION
Contact Grayhill
A button legend can be printed in epoxy ink
which bonds to the surface of the button cap.
Any type style or design which can be
photographed can be used to produce the
legend.
There is a per-button printing charge. A nominal
set up charge per legend applies to orders of 1
to 99 pieces. Non-standard legends are subject
to one time artwork and tooling charges. Consult
Grayhill for help with actual legend.
