How to personalise Ø58 mm button badges?

STEP 1: PRINT THE DESIGN

• Create the design you want to place on the badge. Use images, photos, logos... and lots of creativity
• Prepare a template according to the size and shape of the badge. Remember that the template must have an additional border on the outside to fold and attach the design to the back of the badge
• Print your design on paper, with your usual printer. It is recommended to use 100-110 gsm paper sheets You can personalise badges with other materials like fabric or vinyl ,but for an easier explanation, we will suppose you will be using paper

Download the template to help you print your button badges in eps, psd or pdf format.

STEP 2: TRIM THE DESIGN

• Cut the printed paper on the outermost edge. You may use scissors or a utility knife (cutter). It is convenient to use a die cutting machine or a plotter to be able to cut several designs at the same time. Besides, it will help you gain precision and speed, achieving a straight, clean, and homogeneous cut (see Related Products)

STEP 3: ASSEMBLE THE BADGES

• Prepare the badge making machine. For this example, we will suppose you are using a manual one. If you own a pneumatic machine, the steps are very similar
• Set up the Ø58 mm round die mould
• Place the front of the badge on the mould's Part A, with the sharp metal edge facing down
• Place the design you previously trimmed on this plate and cover it with the protective plastic film
• Rotate the base until the Upper Part aligns with Part A
• Hold the machine with one hand and push the lever down with the other one. Apply pressure and pull it back up. The front plate will remain on the Upper Part of the mould
• Place 1 or 2 washers on Part B. These washers come with the mould. The number of washers to use will depend on the type of back plate. It is advisable to test beforehand to determine if it is necessary to use them and if so, how many are required
• Place the back of the badge on Part B, with the sharp metal edge facing up. Try to align the plate with the positioning pin to ensure its correct orientation. In the case of mirror badges, you should first place the ring with the metal edge facing up, then the mirror facing down and finally the cardboard backing
• Rotate the base of the machine until the Upper Part aligns with Part B
• Hold the machine with one hand and push the lever down with the other one. Apply pressure and pull it back up
• Rotate the base of the machine again and remove the badge
• The magnet model must also be attached to the back plate
