Ways to wear a pin

Pins are the perfect way to turn everyday outfits into wearable self-expression. Add them to denim jackets, overalls, backpacks, hats, tote bags, collars, or pockets to show off your personality, favourite bands, art, humour, or causes you love.

Make your brand unforgettable

Pins for Brand Activations

Make your brand unforgettable with custom pins designed to create engagement, spark conversations, and leave a lasting impression. Whether you're launching a new product, hosting a corporate event, exhibiting at a trade show, running a promotional campaign, or creating a VIP experience, custom pins offer a fun and collectible way to connect with your audience.

Pins transform brand interactions into memorable moments. Lightweight, wearable, and highly shareable, pins become walking advertisements that extend the reach of your activation long after the event ends.

About Pinster

Pinster, formerly known as ButtonsNButtons, is a Toronto-born button company rooted in art, music, community, and DIY culture. We began making buttons in 2001, inspired and mentored by button-making pioneer Joly McFee of Better Badges UK.

In 2010, that passion evolved into a small family-run business creating custom photo buttons on the spot at festivals, community and corporate events across the GTA.

Today, Pinster operates primarily online, producing custom buttons and wearable merch for businesses, artists, musicians, and independent creators, with a focus on small-batch production and creative collaboration.

Small Batch Buttons

Small batch buttons are an affordable and creative way for businesses, artists, musicians, and brands to share their message and connect with people. Perfect for merch tables, product launches, events, giveaways, and promotional campaigns.

At Pinster, we focus on small batch production so we can provide consistent quality, attention to detail, and give people the freedom to test out new ideas and designs without committing to large quantities.
