What is a 57mm can badge template?
The 57mm badge is the standard can badge (缶バッジ) size in Japan and the true 2¼-inch spec used by many US-style presses — 57mm is the exact metric conversion of 2.25 inches. It is the go-to size for anime and idol merch, event giveaways, and fan-made can badges, offering plenty of room for character art, photos, and bold logos. With My Badge Studio you can create a perfectly sized 57mm badge template online and download print-ready artwork in minutes.
A 57mm can badge template from My Badge Studio ensures your design is technically perfect. We handle the 67mm outer cut line (bleed) and the 57mm inner face line automatically — and both diameters stay fully adjustable in the studio — so you can focus purely on your creative design.
Note that 57mm is not the same as 58mm: European 58mm machines need a slightly larger face and cut circle. If you own a 58mm press, use our dedicated 58mm button badge template instead.

Who uses 57mm (2.25 inch) can badge templates?
My Badge Studio gives you a professional 57mm can badge template with fully adjustable face and cut-line diameters. This size is ideal for:
- Anime & Idol Merch: 57mm is the classic Japanese can badge size for character art, idol photos, and doujin merch sold at events and online shops.
- 2.25" Press Owners: If your press is specified as a true 2¼-inch machine, the 57mm template matches its exact face diameter — no rescaling or guesswork needed.
- Event Giveaways: Comic markets, conventions, and pop-up shops rely on 57mm can badges for fast, affordable merch that fans actually wear.
- Small Badge Businesses: Print 12 badges per A4 or US Letter sheet and 24 per A3 sheet with automated layouts that keep production efficient.
Machine compatibility
The 57mm template ships with the standard 57mm face line and a 67mm outer cut line by default — 57mm is the exact size pressed by Tecre 2¼" and American Button Machines 2.25" models, and the standard can badge size from Japanese machine makers such as Badge-man and REALIZE (日本缶バッジ工業). Japanese presses in particular vary in the cut size they require, so check your press manufacturer's spec sheet, enter the exact face and cut diameters in the studio, and the layout updates instantly to match any machine. If you own a European 58mm press, use the 58mm template instead.
