I love working with Kevin at Broken Seal Buttons. They've been my go-to button company for the last ten years. Even when it's a last-minute order, he always gets it to me when I need it. The buttons are very professional looking and consistently well-made. Thanks for always a job well done! read more

My go-to button maker in San Francisco. I've been very happy with my past orders. This week, I had to send 250 buttons to an out of state event in a hurry and they made sure that it happened. Kevin took the time to make sure that the design was exactly what I wanted. And even though I was in a rush, I was never made to feel rushed by Kevin. read more

Spectacular quality, perfect (match our logo colors and clarity) printing, and super fun owner. I LOVE Kevin Cheeseman: he's funny, kind, pro, and meets your deadline in time for your trade show. People love the buttons (1.25) and are still wearing them a year later. I look no further for my buttons. For the swag he can't produce, he is chock full of suggestions for trusted service providers nearby. In a nutshell: exceptional work, fair price, met the deadline, shipped on time. Any questions? No? Okay then call Broken Seal Buttons and work with a great producer of buttons for your brand! read more

I wish I could give ZERO stars. My coworker and I tired to order pins from them. A sample was made and was told to pick up the finished order on a Monday, we reached out to him on Monday but couldn't get in contact to reschedule a pick up for the next day. My coworker went to the address posted to pick up the order on Tuesday. To find out that they aren't even at that location, as another tenant said they haven't seen them in a while and possibly moved to another location. We still have not heard from them about our order, it's been over 3 weeks and no emails or calls. We have called and left multiple voicemails with no return. Ghost town. Honestly, I just want to know if the guy is ok? If you are reading this, wellness check. #greenerpastures read more

Great place to get buttons made in the mission. Will definitely use again and highly recommend!

I called Kevin from Broken Seals Buttons as I had somewhat of an emergency: the replacement parts for my 1 inch button maker wouldn't arrive on time for Bike To Work Day and yet I had helped plan a promotion at the office and buttons were one of the perks. Kevin knew the scenario all too well; apparently I wasn't the first customer who came to him with a similar situation. After our call, I sent Kevin the artwork for our button and he sent back a photo showing the finished sample button. Wow, that's great customer service. I was able to pick up the buttons from their "factory" in the Mission the next day. Speaking of factory; what surprised me very much is that even the pros like Kevin make buttons pretty much the same way as me who has one of these button makers. He still has to cut out the circles and then assemble each button one after another. I really would've thought that there's a "machine" for that...but the machine is a bunch of people standing a around a table and assembling buttons. Mindblown! read more

Kevin is great! Fun and easy to work with, knowledgeable about design, and lickety-split with production. He's an excellent communicator and the buttons are reasonably priced. I am so glad there is a business in San Francisco that does this! read more

I love Broken Seal Buttons! I needed to order some buttons for work, but only needed about 30. Thats way too small for most big button companies, and I work at a small nonprofit so I try to keep costs at a minimum and avoid shipping. I'm so glad I found Broken Seal Buttons. Kevin was helpful in putting together a high quality design and sending me a proof within hours. Once I approved the proof, the buttons were done that day. So speedy! The price was great - less than a dollar for big buttons. They look fantastic and really professional. Of course I'm happy with the buttons, but also got the chance to chat with Kevin a bit when I picked them up. He is really kind and I'll be back to support his business in the future. Its a great small business run with a lot of heart, and I highly recommend! I'm already thinking of reasons to make more buttons! read more

Broken Seal Buttons - My bright & shiny buttons - Accessories Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is why I will forever love Broken Seal Buttons: My office is having a housewarming party, and all the organizations housed in the office space planned to buy buttons for guest gifts. We had a week deadline to get these to our office, and we ordered from one company (with a terribly high printing and shipping premium), who then called us the next day and said they didn't have them in the size we wanted. 5 days to go till the party, I find Broken Seal, call Kevin, who says yes he can do it, and we should send a file over. He sends back a proof in less than an hour (which is an actual attached picture of our buttons, vs a digital proof), and we were able to print a special message on the curve of the button. We needed them shipped in time for the party, and they arrive on our doorstep 2 days before the event. In the meantime, the 3 other organizations in our collective were also delayed in purchasing their buttons, so they then reach out to Kevin 2 days before the party. Their buttons arrive the morning of the event. Amazing. tldr great service, quick turnaround, crisp printing, fair price, already referring others read more

An absolutely well deserved 5 star review. I was just blown away at Kevin's phenomenal customer service. I sent him a crappy design I made in Microsoft word and he professionally laid it out to spec with bleeds etc, emailed me a proof the next morning, and finished pressing the buttons that afternoon. It literally took less than 24 hours from the time I called to the time I had them in hand. He is gregarious, helpful, and so fast! Prices are extremely reasonable (maybe too reasonable). I would highly recommend Broken Seal Buttons to anyone. I uploaded a photo of my Kentucky Derby party button ("Talk #derby to me") so you can see for yourself how awesome it turned out! read more

I used to order buttons from Busy Beaver but one time needed buttons fast and found Kevin @ Broken Seal and oh man, am I glad! I order monthly and buttons come out perfect and are at my door step pretty much next day! The real kicker is his service though. Kevin is very warm and welcoming over the phone and even called me this last month because I forgot my order *doh*. He still was able to get them made and to me in time of the event! If you're looking for quality buttons with the best customer service you'll find no better experience then with Broken Seal. read more

Broken Seal Buttons is the best place to get your buttons made! The owner, Kevin, at Broken Seal Buttons is the best to work with! He is personable, kind and caring! You will not get better customer service anywhere! I sent my order in and was contacted right away to confirm the order. I had a short deadline and Kevin worked extra hard to make sure I had the order before I needed it. The buttons were just what I needed, beautiful and professional! I will not get buttons from anywhere else!!! This is the only place to get your buttons made! read more

I am pretty sure magic was involved, or some kind of time machine? I only came up with the idea for my button *yesterday afternoon* and they were in my mailbox this morning! It was an absolute pleasure working with Kevin. Do not hesitate to order with Broken Seal Buttons. Better service is impossible. read more

I was very happy with my order. I would highly recommend if you are looking for buttons to be made in a hurry, this is the place to go.

This is my first time requesting some button pins as I needed them for my presentation of my senior project. I emailed a request on a Tuesday morning, and Kevin (the owner) quickly replied me back with a mock-up of how the button would like look. Of course, I loved it, so I went ahead with my order. On the next day, I had to be unexpectedly close to the shop, so I called in for an update. Luckily, Kevin told me that there almost done and I could pick them up in about 30 minutes. This is an awesome experience and would love to make future businesses with Kevin again in the future. I'm glad I could find him on the web. Very responsive and professional. Recommended! read more

First off, let me say that it's rare to find someone as dedicated to a good cause as Kevin. A young man in our community tragically died, and there was an outpouring of grief that affected just about everyone in town. One very classy thing that came out of it was the idea of making a commemorative button of his jersey number, and having it available to friends, family, team mates, and anyone else that wished to attend his services. Kevin made us over 800 buttons in less than 3 days, and I will never forget the look of gratitude on his parent's and coach's faces. Kevin came in to finish the job, even though he was clearly very sick at the time. His product was very well done, and he even researched the font to make it match our needs just that much better. Class act all the way. I hope this shop stays in business forever. read more

Great expierence, qualify buttons, quick turn-times! Been going back again and again. read more

Another fabulous, A+, couldn't-be-better experience working with BSB and Kevin! I love being able to support a local business and he makes it easy to do so because the quality, price, service and turnaround time are top notch. As long as Broken Seal Buttons stays open I won't be going anywhere else for my buttons! read more

Late post, as most of my social updates are. Before finding Broken Seal Buttons, I shopped around and thought a month would be enough time to buy a few custom buttons. Most sites, however, would hit me at the end with hidden fees, shipping and handling, and other BS which wouldn't even guarantee that I'd get my buttons in time for this event! I'm talking about 30 buttons, and these sites were charging $170+... ridiculous. Albeit it's company expensed.. but STILL. It's the principle!!! Super stressed out and just 2 weeks left, I found Broken Seal on yelp, left a (frantic) message, and Kevin got back to me that same evening. I sent him the image I wanted printed, and within 30 seconds, he created a sample and emailed a photo of it back to me. Just like that! Couldn't believe how quick the turnaround was. I placed my order and it arrived to my office in Palo Alto the next day. SO AWESOME. Great customer service - Kevin is THE BEST. Price was very fair, and the quality was exactly what I had wished for. I couldn't have been more pleased with everything. Thank you, Kevin!!! You're the real MVP!!! read more

I had buttons made for my Dad's memorial service. Kevin was awesome, great quality and fast turnaround

Very communicative about the process and even though we did not need the pins right away, they were done within 3 days. They were so considerate about pickup. Definitely recommend read more

Kevin and Michael made my last-minute button order happen quickly, efficiently and perfectly! It is awesome seeing my artwork on buttons!!! Kevin helped adjust my work to my liking and even mocked up two button sizes for me to choose what would be best. I will definitely use Broken Seal in the future and will recommend them to any of my artist friends! read more

WOW! I cannot end my day before I write a review of the incredible service I received today. I called Broken Seal this morning at 9AM and spoke with Kevin. I asked if he would be able to make 50 buttons (40 identical, and 10 unique designs) for me before tomorrow for a memorial I am attending. He was so friendly and pleasant to speak to and more than happy to accommodate me. Less than a half day later, my buttons were ready. Thank you so much for sharing a piece of your warm heart with me today, Kevin. The buttons are perfect. read more

Broken Seal Buttons - 10 of the 40 identical buttons I ordered, and 10 unique buttons.. all done within less than 1/2 a day, & so reasonably priced. - Accessories Near Me - San Francisco, California

Kevin is absolutely the best! He perfected a massive order of multiple designs and sizes, and did it on a very tight schedule for huge advocacy event I was very, very (knee-deep) busy planning. He even got the order to me a day early! The customer service was great, and I got a chance to see every design exactly as it would look before I OKed the order. I'll always use Broken Seal Buttons for any buttons I need, and recommend everyone else do the same. I can't wait to place my next order! read more

I couldn't be more pleased with our buttons! Kevin is great at anticipating and working with his clients to get the best possible product in the shortest amount of time. We had multiple designs and changes that he accommodated with ease and grace. He even produced multiple mockups and gave suggestions to help us decide the best design before he started production. Truly a professional that has his client's needs clearly in mind. He even delivered them a day early on an already tight deadline. I would highly recommend Broken Seal Buttons, and will use them for any of mine or my clients' button needs. Trust me, place an order, you will not be disappointed! Plus it's a local, small business that does outstanding work for a great price! read more

Talk about top notch customer service! Kevin helped create some buttons for a memorial service on a very tight timeline and had them delivered to me a day in advance of the event. Bravo! He communicated clearly and often through the whole process and sent me a design comp to review. HIGHLY recommended!! read more

Kevin is a great guy who delivers quality products! Most people don't realize that the button making process is still all by hand and it feels great to support this small business of hard-working weirdos (which I mean as a compliment) who all seem to be having a great time working together. This is the only business of its kind in the Bay Area! Check them out! read more

Just on customer service Kevin is such a great person and business person. I was seeking to have buttons made for a passing of a close friend and was coordinating with the family. Kevin was very friendly in discussing details and sensitive about the fact it was for a deceased loved one. In fact, he followed up the next day to check in and more impressive sharead a sincere sentiment. if you want a great and personalized customer service experience for your custom button needs check out Broken Seal Buttons. read more

Kevin and Broken Seal are top notch and amazing. I called Kevin with no idea what I wanted and he designed, redesigned, and made me exactly what I wanted way ahead of my deadline. More than reasonable pricing and he makes extra so you have more than you need just in case. Thank you again Kevin and it was great meeting you today. I hope to use you guys again soon. read more

Kevin is flexible and turns orders around at lightning speeds. He helped create some awesome buttons for us to use at a conference in just a couple days. He's super friendly and great to work with. If you're looking for custom buttons, Kevin's your guy. I cannot wait to give out these buttons (and, of course, keep some for myself). read more

Super Quick and easy to deal with. I only needed 10 buttons, which most companies wouldn't bother with, or would probably fit in only if they had time, but Kevin was immediately in touch and able to get them knocked out. And they look great. I will definitely use Broken Seal again...but hopefully, for their sake, I will have a bigger order! :) read more

Kevin was really really helpful filling out a pretty big order on short notice. I needed 1000 buttons to promote NOW! - a community festival we produced in the Panhandle area of the city. Kevin was incredibly responsive and he even printed up a small batch so I could decide what size I needed for the rest of the run. We coordinated a couple different pick up times to fit my schedule and he was genuinely excited about and supportive of our work. He even took some time to show me how his machines work and all that. I'll be placing all my future button orders with Broken Seal Buttons. read more

This is the second time we've ordered a significant amount of buttons from Broken Seal. They are super fast and efficient! They even caught a mistake in my design and let me before printing them. The prices are super fair too, support SF small business and don't hesitate to have your buttons made at this shop! read more

If I could give Kevin 6 stars, I would. After desperately calling ten other shops for some buttons for my son's school, I had the good fortune to contact Kevin. Not only did print & ship my rush button order WELL ahead of schedule, he was also the sweetest person I have ever dealt with on Yelp. I will never use another button company again ever. read more
