Badge Maker

We have a badge maker (located by the sewing station) that you are welcome to use.

There are 3 pieces that make up a badge – top transparent film, button shell, and button back cover (we also have bottle opener backs for larger sizes)

We have 3 different badge sizes in the lab

    • 25mm
    • 37mm
    • 58mm

Setting Up Your Artworks

    1. Download the Illustrator template
    2. Apply your artwork – Take note of the amount of bleed needed to wrap around the button
    3. Print out your button on standard paper – Don’t print the coloured markings (tip: use clipping masks)
    4. Cut the artwork out (light blue bleed circle)
