Introducing The One Stop Button Shop


Who is The One Stop Button Shop?

    The One Stop Button Shop is part of a larger business called Faville Photo Giclee Printing. Faville Photo is a Fine Art Print Shop located in Mesa, Arizona that is run solely by husband and wife, John and Jessica Gilman.


What makes us different?

    Faville Photo also specializes in reproducing and printing artwork for artists and photographers, which means we use only the highest quality materials for our clients.
    For all of our button products, we use the Epson Premium Luster Photo Paper, which is the best photo paper available on the market today. Not only that, but it is 100% archival, meaning it will last over 100 years in normal conditions without yellowing or fading.
    We also use a top-of-the-line giclee printer - The Canon IPF 8100. This high quality inkjet printer has 12 colors, as opposed to a standard printer, which has 4 colors, and it is also 44 inches wide!
    So there you have it! Archival papers, archival inks, a top-of-the-line giclee printer, and the attention-to-detail of print shop owners who love their job and take great pride in their work. That is the recipe for the absolute HIGHEST quality giclee prints available on the market, and therefor the highest quality pinback buttons, pocket mirrors, magnets, and Christmas ornaments!




How are the Christmas ornaments, pinback buttons, pocket mirrors, and magnets made?
     Each item is made slightly different than the other, but in general, they all use the same technique.

1. First, the graphics are created in Photoshop for every individual order, with your personalized information and photos.

2. The graphics are printed out on our high quality 44" Giclee Printer, pictured above.

3. Each item is made up of many different pieces, all of which are assembled and then pressed together using the button press below. In general, they all include a back, the special part(s) that makes it what it is (mirror, magnet, etc), and a sheet of protective mylar, or plastic. 


The Christmas ornaments are a little more involved due to the fact that the button machine is not designed to create something with a ribbon pressed in between the parts. But, since we are the only place that offers this type of Christmas ornament, we keep the process a secret. :)





How do I take care of my Christmas ornament (or pinback button, mirror, or magnet) to ensure that it lasts a long time?

    The One Stop Button Shop wants to make sure that your memories last a lifetime, therefor we only use the highest quality materials, including our 100% archival photo paper for every order.
    Every Christmas ornament and mirror comes with a soft satin bag to keep the item from contact with dust and dirt, and keeps the item scratch free and in optimum condition. The satin bags can also be purchased for pinback buttons and magnets for an additional fee. Keep your item in a bag when it is not in use.
    To maximize the life of the ornament and other button products, keep the item away from humid, damp, or wet places and out of direct sunlight for a long period of time. Meaning, don't display your item in direct sunlight, or store your ornament in the garage or attic where it tends to be more humid than the rest of the house.
