If you do not have artwork, don't worry. Our designers can help convert your design into production ready drawings. It is best if you can provide us with pictures, sketches and all other information of your design. We do the rest, free of charge to you.
Designing a badge from scratch does incur a fee and will be dependent on various factors.

Touch, Feel, Remember—The Impact of Dimensional Branding
Your design, text, or logo can be brought to life with stunning embossed detail, creating a bold, dimensional look that instantly captures attention. We tailor the manufacturing process for embossing based on the desired desired appearance, surface finish, manufacturing process, attachment method, budget and more—ensuring the perfect fit for your brand every time. If you’re looking for fully custom badging, we can create fully custom tooling from scratch, or, for short runs and low-volume orders, we can use our existing dies to keep costs down without sacrificing quality. No matter your choice, the result is branding that doesn’t just sit on your product—it enhances it, making your brand unforgettable at first touch.
Reduce Expenses Without Sacrificing Precision ... Stock Dies
We offer flat blanks and 3D-formed edge stock with ready-to-use dies for standard shapes. Simply provide your artwork and confirm your decoration details, and we’ll quickly generate pricing for you within 24 hours. Using stock dies is a cost-effective option, with the added advantage of tools being production-ready. In some cases, a small modification fee may apply to tailor the tool to your specific design. If a stock die doesn’t fit your needs, we can create a fully custom tool to bring your unique vision to life.
What Is Your Brand Worth To You?
Cut-to-shape dies give your brand the freedom to break away from basic, standard shapes, allowing for fully custom contours. Whether you’re crafting a sleek, modern logo with sharp edges - a flowing, intricate design with smooth curves or cutting around letters, these dies ensure precision and consistency in every piece. Perfect for distinctive branding, cut-to-shape dies let you create 3D emblems that feel intentionally designed, not just stamped out of a template. The result is a product that not only fits your product seamlessly but also draws attention with its distinctive, high-end appeal.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between embossing and debossing?
Embossing raises the design above the material's surface (2D & 3D), while debossing presses the design into the material, creating an indented effect.
Are there limitations on design complexity for embossing?
While embossing can achieve detailed designs, there are limitations based on material thickness and tooling capabilities. It's essential to ensure that lines and spaces meet minimum width requirements to maintain design integrity. For extremely complex and intricate designs, electroforming can be utilized, but there are limitations to the design and text height.
What file formats are available for artwork submission?
The preferred file format for artwork submission is Adobe Illustrator (AI), but other vector files that are acceptable include:
- Encapsulated Postscript (.eps)
- CorelDraw (.cdr)
If artwork is in another file format such as PDF, JPEG, PNG, etc. we may be able to convert it.
