The Importance of 100% Scale for Button Badges

When you're crafting button badges, precision is paramount. A slight deviation in print size can mean the difference between a perfectly crimped badge and a frustrating misfire. Printing your designs at 100% scale (often called 'Actual Size' in print dialogues) ensures that the artwork on your paper matches the exact dimensions required by your badge components and your circle cutter. If your print is even slightly scaled down or up, your design will either be too small, leaving an unsightly white ring, or too large, causing wrinkles and difficulty in assembly.

This is especially critical when you're using a dedicated circle cutter, such as the 70MM Round Die Paper Cutter - For Upto 300 Gsm Paper. These tools are engineered to cut precise diameters. If your printed design isn't the correct size, the cutter won't align properly with the bleed area, leading to off-centre graphics or cut-off elements.
