Badges are wonderful for spreading a message, and most people can't help reading what's written on them. The same is true for posters and T-shirts. If you want to start a conversation, one of the cheapest and easiest things you can do, is to wear a badge.

Small badges are great for promoting bands, and for designs with simple logo's. Large badges are excellent for use as I.D at conferences and events (Stewards badges etc). Also ideal for children to design their own.

Single small badges @ 30p

4 for a £1.00.

25 badges upwards @ 20p = £5.00.

50 badges upwards @ 16p = £8.00 inc p&p.

Single large badges @ 60p

Prices include components, printing, labour and packaging. Artwork is usually supplied by you, but can be done for an extra charge, relating to how complicated it is.

If you have a design you want to send us, there are two main ways of doing this.

Hard copy by post: Artwork/Photographs can be sent to us by post.

By E-mail: Send image as a high resolution Jpeg, EPS or Tiff (200 - 300 dpi). Lower resolution images can be used, but quality may be reduced as a result. Images above 1 mb should be sent on a disc - CDR, Floppy or Mac formatted Zip are acceptable.

Designs can be E-mailed to us at;

Artwork needs to be scaled down to the correct size, and made up into full sheets, either A4 or A3. (35 small designs will fit on an A4 sheet of paper, or 70 designs on an A3 sheet. 12 large designs will fit on an A4 sheet, or 24 on an A3 sheet). The cutting circle for the 25mm badge is 35mm. The cutting circle for the 55mm badge is 66mm. Two or three mm are needed between cutting circles, to avoid the paper tearing.

For example, 100 small badges @16p + £4 = £20.00.

(Any further orders will be charged at 16p).

We also make the 55mm badge with a variety of different backings. Same as the badge on the front, but with a choice of mirror, magnet, or key ring, instead of a pin, on the back. The cost of components is a little more, but they are still fairly inexpensive.

Single mirror, magnet or key ring @ £1.00.

4 plus @ 75p.

10 plus @ 60p.

20 plus @ 50p.

(Postage charged at cost).

(Postage on all small orders is extra, is charged at cost, and depends on the service you require. First class, second class, or special delivery services).

Tel: 01629 822210.

We also have a full catalogue of our own designs too, including handmade cards. Send a cheque for £2.00 written to "Ideal World", for a free catalogue, and samples to the value of £2.00.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

All the best,

Paul.
