Full Color & Laser Engraved

Full Color Personalizations: (Hint: Use this personalization method when you need specific fonts or a particular color). Stock printer fonts available (shown below). Our standard full color font is Arial. Printer fonts may be used on most plastic products as well as on full color products.

Printed personalizations allow for much greater flexibility of personalization color and font selection.

Laser Engraved Personalizations: Laser engraving will be used to produce printer fonts on available plastics. Laser engraving uses a laser beam to remove the surface layer of plastic products. Our standard laser font is Helvetica. Standard printer fonts may be used for greater variety (see Full Color Personalization fonts above).

Rotary Engraved

Rotary Engraved Personalizations: (Hint: General use on brass or when you need a standard font on a stock plastic)Rotary engraving uses a rotating cutter, which enters and removes the surface layer of plastic or removes the protective surface coating on metals. Only rotary fonts (see list below) may be used for this type of production. Our standard rotary font is Gothic.

Rotary Engraving Styles: Not shown to actual size.
  

Release Programs

The Premier Online Release Program www.badgewarehouse.com

Badge Warehouse: This prepaid program is a completely safe, secure, and easy-to-use online release program available 24/7. This program is distributor and end-user friendly and does not reflect any pricing information. Investing in this program allows the user to check inventory levels, submit names for badge release, track shipment status, and download excel spreadsheet or tab-del text usage reports.

Badge Warehouse Pro: Gives you all the great features of Badge Warehouse, but with the added ability to have multiple locations drawing from the same stock. This option is perfect for corporations that need an extra reporting function to allow internal billing by location or to keep track of how many badges each location is ordering. Each location is given its own secure password that will link them to the same inventory as the rest of their company, but will automatically identify the specific location in administrative reports. This allows the administrator to easily identify and sort the information in any way they need. Because of these added features, the Pro program has an initial set-up charge of $62.50 (G).

Notes: The release charge is an initial fee based on current shipping rates. There may be increases in release charges periodically throughout the program to account for increases in shipping costs. As shipping costs increase, your updated invoices will reflect these charges to the program.

Release programs with no activity for two years will be considered abandoned. The program will be closed and inventory discarded.

Release Program pricing is based on USPS First Class postage rates to the United States, and will ship within 2-3 business days, add 2 additional days for doming. BadgeWarehouse service is available for addresses in the United States and Canada only. Beacon Promotions Inc. is not able to estimate international shipping fees.
