How thick are your custom name tags?

Uncoated custom name tags are ~ 1.3mm thick.

What is the difference between the two badge finishes?

Our badges come in two distinct finishes, each tailored for specific needs

Premium Epoxy Resin Dome

This is a thick, glossy layer applied over the badge, which gives it a luxurious appearance.

  • Durability: It offers robust protection against scratches and everyday wear and tear.
  • Premium Feel: The domed appearance enhances the design and gives the badge a high-end, professional look.
  • Longevity: This finish ensures that the badge retains its sheen and design clarity for an extended period.

UltraThin Laminated

A sleek, streamlined finish achieved using a thin lamination process.

  • Lightweight: This option is ideal for those who prefer badges that are lighter in weight without compromising on durability.
  • Durable Protection: The lamination offers a protective shield against scratches and external factors.
  • Modern Appearance: This finish provides a contemporary, smooth look, suitable for a variety of settings.

Is there a minimum order quantity for Name Tags?

No. You can order any quantity, from just one badge to as many as you require. We offer free design and have no setup fees.

Can I reorder a previous design?

Absolutely!

We keep past designs for a minimum of 3 years.

To reorder, provide us with the order number from your original confirmation email. If you can't find it, don't worry! Access all past orders via the 'accounts' link in the top menu. With your order number, we can locate your design and make any required changes.

Can I cancel my order?

We completely get it, we change our minds too!

Orders can be cancelled or edited using the link provided in your order confirmation email, this can only be done before the design is approved for despatch. Once your order has been moved to production we are not able to cancel.

How do I reorder if I don't have an account?

You don't need a traditional account to reorder. An account is automatically set up for you when you place an order.

Samples & Proofs

Yes, we have Badge Sample Packs to showcase our badge quality.

Additionally, we provide free online proofs for all orders so that you can see how we intend to print and cut your badges before we make them. You can request changes to your proof and we will make them until they look correct. Although we ask for a credit card upfront, we do not charge it until all proofs for an order are approved.

Can I see a proof before ordering?

Absolutely! After placing your order, you'll receive an online proof within one business day.

We won't process your payment until you approve the design. If needed, we'll make adjustments to the proof at no extra cost, and you can cancel your order pre-approval without any charges.

Will you update my price if my size changes during proofing?

Yes, during the proofing stage at Badge Lab, we ensure accuracy in the sizes. If you're uncertain about the exact measurements when ordering, just provide an estimate. We'll then adjust the size during proofing to match your badge's true dimensions and update the price accordingly.

For instance, if you initially request a 76 mm x 23 mm badge but the final design measures 56 mm x 15 mm, we'll automatically amend the price to reflect the smaller size. This approach ensures you're charged accurately for what you receive.
