HOW TO CUSTOMISE Ø44 MM ROUND BADGES?

STEP 1: Print the design

• Always use a template with cut and bleed guides
• Ensure the design has a margin for folding
• Print on 100–110 g/m² paper for an optimal finish

STEP 2: Cut out the design

• Cut along the outermost edge of the template
• You can use scissors, a die cutter or a plotter depending on the volume and precision required

STEP 3: Assemble the badge

• Install the circular mould of Ø44 mm
• Part A of the mould:
  
  • Place the front plate (sharp edge facing down)
  • Position the cut-out design on top
  • Add the protective sheet
  • Rotate the base to align Part A with the top part
  • Press the lever and lift it back up
• Part B of the mould:
  
  • Place 1 or 2 washers in Part B (included with the mould). The quantity depends on the type of back plate, so prior testing is recommended
  • Place the back plate with the sharp edge facing up and align it with the pin. For hanger badges, insert the hook through the side hole of Part B and ensure the back plate is fully inside the mould with the edge facing up
  • Rotate the base to align it with the top part
  • Press the lever again
  • Your badge is now ready
  • For the magnet model, stick the magnet to the back of the badge
