HOW TO CUSTOMISE HEART BADGES WITH THE EVOLUTION, AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC AND PNEUMATIC MACHINES?

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 heart-shaped mould 57 x 52 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 upper part
  • Press the lever and lift it back up
• Part B of the mould:
  • Place the back plate with the sharp edge facing up, aligning it with the pin
  • Rotate the base to align it with the upper part
  • Press the lever again
  • Your badge is now ready
  • For the magnet model, stick the magnet to the back of the badge
