HOW TO CUSTOMISE RECTANGULAR BADGES WITH THE EVOLUTION MACHINE?

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 required

STEP 3: Assemble the badge

• Install the rectangular mould 50 x 90 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 upper part
  • Press the lever and lift it back up
• Part B of the mould:
  • 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 (facing down), and finally the cardboard stand
  • Rotate the base to align it with the upper part
  • Press the lever again
  • Your badge is now ready
  • For the magnet model, adhere the magnet to the back of the badge
