Gift Box: 12 button badges (Playful Modular System)

Twelve button badges in new deluxe matchbox-style gift box (size M).

There are three different sizes of Stereohype's elegant matchbox-style gift boxes for button badges. In this category we have the medium-sized versions of this superb packaging solution. Each of these medium-sized gift boxes contain seven, eight or twelve designs from Stereohype's growing button badge collection. A rose-gold foil-blocked Stereohype mascot squirrel was hand-printed in the UK at the top of the gift box (outside dimensions, medium size for 6–12 badges: 100 x 100 x 17mm). Inside the beautiful matt black cardboard gift box is a black flock pad and badges are directly pinned into it. All Stereohype button badges available at stereohype.com are classic high quality one inch (25mm) metal back badges with so-called D-pin. Tiny stickers at the back of each button badge mention the artist, release date, series number, etc. Badges are printed and encapsulated with love and care in the United Kingdom.

Modular components to create your own things – specifically letterforms.

'For us, the key to our designs is that they are quite simple individually but that they work by means of the differences and similarities between them — they are a coordinated set.' — Paul McNeil
