Frequently Asked Questions about Custom Metal Badges Production
Q1: What is the typical lead time for producing custom badges? A1: The typical lead time is approximately 2 to 3 weeks after the design has been finalized and approved. This includes initial design, prototype approval, manufacturing, finishing, and packaging. Rush orders can often be accommodated for urgent needs, depending on the order size and complexity.
Q2: What design files are required for production? A2: We prefer high-resolution vector files such as AI, EPS, or PDF formats. These files allow for precise details and scaling without loss of quality. If you only have a raster image, such as JPEG or PNG, we can work with it but recommend providing the highest resolution possible to ensure fidelity in the final badge.
Q3: Are you able to produce badges with multiple colors, such as for different departments or ranks? A3: Yes, we offer enamel filling and other color application techniques that achieve vibrant, durable multi-color designs. The number of colors can impact pricing and lead time, so detailed specifications are discussed during the initial consultation.
