First of all , e-mail us with your enquiry and let us know what information you require on the badge.


Examples of data fields, which may assist you, are:-

name, photo, location, designation, staff number, issue date, expiry date, signature, authorising signature, address and contact details, safety or other accreditations etc.


E-mail your logo and we will create a sample badge for you. If this is not available, we may be able to download your logo from your website. 

The first draft will be e-mailed to you. You may then wish to make several amendments as necessary - take as much time as you need to get things right.


Once the design and format has been finalised, we will post a hard copy to you for your approval. Once all is agreed, we will be in touch with you to help you send all information (photos, staff records etc.) to us. 

LOGOS/ARTWORK

We do not charge set up fees as long as all art work is supplied. Please ensure that all artwork i.e. logo, banner, background is high resolution in bmp, jpg or gif format. Where possible give details of pantone references and font type or post letter headed paper, a compliment slip or a business card.

Don't panic if this is not available - we will endeavour to assist you as much as possible!

PASSPORT PHOTOS

Alternatively, post or scan colour passport photos to us. These can also be scanned by us however reproduction will not be any near as good as digital images, which are the preferred format.
