Button Press

fotografiaThe Regional Library in Žilina offers its registered users the option of creating a custom button, magnet, or keychain for non-commercial uses. The manual buttons machine located on the first floor (the Scientific Literature Department) makes products in sizes 32 mm and 37 mm. Magnets and buttons can be made in 37 mm size and keychains and buttons in 32 mm size. 

How does it work?

The button machine is a two step mechanical tool which, firstly, connects an aluminum circle with a decorated paper and wraps it in plastic. Secondly, it connects the circle with the back side of the button. Based on the back side choice, one makes either a button, magnet, or a keychain.  

Button Press Usage Rules

  • To use the button machine, the user must prepare their desired design. They can print or draw it on plain 80 g paper. The dimensions 32 mm and 37 mm are only the dimensions of the visible surface of the design, the design should be 44 mm (for 32 mm product) or 48 mm (for 37 mm product) in diameter. The design must be cut into a circular shape with the given diameter. To create a product, one may come to the library during its opening hours and ask a librarian from the Scientific Literature Department for assistance.  
  • A librarian accepts or declines the order. We do not make models which are contrary to the SR and EU legislation and the copyright law. We also do not print sexually explicit material, falsifications, and models that are obscene or inappropriate.
  • As of right now, this is a semi self-service; therefore the user can use the machine under a librarian’s supervision.
