Paper Inlay
Our machines are generally laid out for the usage of 80-90g thick paper.
This is “normal” copying paper which you also use at home. In this case the
paper inlay has to be cut in exactly the same size as the foil. It also has to be
cut very accurately round, otherwise the button might fail. Paper which is
too thick or too thin can cause problems. Generally you CAN of course use
thicker or thinner paper and also different materials. But we can not give
you a universal recipe to make a 100% perfect button anyway. You cannot
make any damage, so don`t worry. Just try it out! There are some tricks how
you will be able to use the material anyway. For example by cutting it in a
smaller diameter or by using a paper inlay under the material additionally.
HINTS AND TRICKS
Usage of Fabric
Experience shows that nearly every kind of fabric can be used for buttons.
Exceptions are very thick and unflexible fabrics, woolen fabrics or fabrics
with a high share in stretch. But there are so many kinds of fabric that it is
hard to cover them all. If you are not sure if it works: Just try it out! Instead
of the paper inlay, just use the fabric cut in the right size and leave out the
foil! Depending on the fabric you can also try cutting it in a slightly smaller
diameter or using an additional paper inlay under the fabric.
