Name Badges and Signs: Types and Descriptions

|
"Two Color" name badges /
signs are
basic in design and economical. The design, text or even logos are
engraved into a special plastic / acrylic surface leaving the base color
and cutting into the material to reveal the second color. Engraving may
be done with a high rpm rotary or with a laser for greater detail. There
are a wide variety of color combinations available. |

Digital Full Color badges /
signs are
printed directly onto the material with a specifically designed
digital ink printer. The designs are imported or laid out with graphics
software which in turn sends the complete, full color image to the
printer. Base material for this is generally white for correct colors, although
silver and gold are available for badges. |

Dye-Sublimated badges / signs.
Similar results to full color digital direct printing, sublimation uses heat and pressure
to transfer a design from special ink printed paper into the material
surface. Sublimated colors are brighter and deeper and include material
variety of plastics, board and metal. Special shapes may also be laser cut to create truly unique
badges. |
