• Can I make changes to my custom badge design after placing an order?

  Once an order is placed and payment is processed, design changes become extremely limited due to our immediate production workflow and custom manufacturing process. Understanding our design change policy helps ensure complete satisfaction with your initial design approval.

  • Text corrections: Spelling errors, title updates, employee information changes
  • Minor layout adjustments: Text positioning, sizing modifications
  • Color specification changes: Finish options, enamel color selections

  Production Process Limitations: Once production begins, changes become impossible due to:

  • Custom die creation: Each badge design requires specialized manufacturing dies
  • Material preparation: Metals are cut and prepared based on approved specifications
  • Quality control systems: Our process relies on approved design specifications
  • Production scheduling: Changes disrupt manufacturing workflow and timing

  Design Revision Importance: Our comprehensive design review process emphasizes the critical importance of thorough design approval:

  • Multiple revision rounds during design phase at no additional cost
  • Detailed design proofs with exact specifications and measurements
  • Professional review by experienced custom badge design specialists

  • Information verification: Double-check all names, titles, and organizational information
  • Contact verification: Ensure all contact information is current for communication

  Reorder Considerations: For significant design changes after production begins, reordering represents the most practical solution:

  • Original order completion: Receive original badges as designed
  • New order placement: Submit corrected design as new order
  • Volume pricing: Combine original and corrected orders for bulk pricing consideration

  Quality Guarantee: While design changes after production aren’t possible, our quality guarantee ensures any manufacturing defects, errors in production, or deviations from approved designs are corrected at no additional cost.
