| Sizes We do not have a "standard" size as all our badges are custom designed and manufactured to your specifications. We do have a maximum size of 3.375" x 2.125", which is the size of a credit card. Thickness Digitally printed badges with engraved names are printed on 2 ply material that is .060" thick. Materials White faced plastic with black engraving is the norm but if you want something a little different, we have that too. Be sure to ask about our brushed silver or brushed gold options. Shapes Square or rectangular shapes are customary and are included in the price of the badge. We can make custom shapes, they just cost a little more. |

| File Types
Sorry to all the Apple fans out there, we are a PC based company. Vector formats are best for production so send us your EPS, AI, or CDR files. If you have a PDF, we may be able to use it and will let you know if we can't. While we can print from other files such as JPG or BMP, we cannot control those formats in terms of color or quality. |

Sending Your Files
The easiest way to get your files to us to to e-mail computer files directly to Badge and Sign Store. If you send us the native files, it is helpful to also send a PDF so we can verify everything came through correctly. PMS Color Matching There is an additional charge for PMS color matching. PMS color matches are one time and reprints will match the original. If you proceed with a PMS match, we will match the color as closely as our printing process allows. If color is critical, we suggest a spec sample, just ask us how. |

| Background Colors
Most badges are printed on a white plastic material that has a differently colored core. The core color is the color that the engraving will be. We do have brushed silver and brushed gold materials available for just a little extra. Solid color printed backgrounds Our printers allow us to print in millions of colors. We can print full bleeds and gradients all at no extra cost. Some color combinations don't play well together (Gray on silver especially). If you're unsure, just ask. |
