HOW TO CUSTOMISE Ø58 MM ROUND BADGES WITH THE EVOLUTION AND PNEUMATIC MACHINES?

STEP 1: Print the design

• Always use a template with a cutting and bleed guide
• Ensure the design has a margin for folding
• Print on 100–110 g/m² paper for 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 needed

STEP 3: Assemble the badge

• Install the circular mould of Ø58 mm
• Part A of the mould:
  
  • Place the front plate (sharp edge 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, so prior testing is recommended
  • Place the back plate with the sharp edge up, aligning it with the pin. For mirror badges: first the frame (metal edge up), then the mirror (downwards) and finally the cardboard support
  • Rotate the base to align it with the top part
  • Press the lever again
  • Your badge is now ready
  • For the magnet model, adhere the magnet to the back of the badge
