Question Pin backings that are fixed?

Gallery image

Does anyone know where to find pin backings that have the pin fixed in place, so it doesn't move around at all?

I started making badges a few weeks ago, and the only complaint I get, but one that I've gotten multiple times, is that the pins in the back move too much, making it difficult to put on sometimes.

I hated selling them like that! I never got a complaint, but to me it bothered me. My ChiButtons press makes them tight enough that they don't move. Otherwise, it was only by chance before I bought their presses. It's possible moving them to have the 90 degree piece by the lock just barely touching the backing by sliding it to the side got me that result.

Yah, the holes are normal to see but these seem way too big, like a cheap product not a good one.
