Belgique Badges

FAQs

A set of badges

Is there a minimum order size?
No. However, the larger your order, the cheaper the unit price. Belgique Badges has dealt with orders between 20 and 5000 units. There is no maximum order size.

What's the difference between woven and embroidered badges?
A woven badge appears 'flatter' because the design is usually sewn INTO the background. Embroidered badges appear more three dimensional, being much thicker as the weave/thread is sewn OVER the background - as shown in the accompanying scans. Embroidered badges are usually more expensive to produce due to more complex stitching.

Is a deposit required before manufacture begins?
No deposit is required for schools, government departments (including local government), community groups, and established customers. All other customers will be required to pay a 25% deposit at the time of confirming your order. Completion of payment is required at the time of pickup or before dispatch of your badges.

How long does it take for a typical order to be manufactured?
5 weeks is the usual length of time for manufacture and delivery.

Can you make us a sample?
A sample badge is made before production of your full order. An image of your sample will be sent to you for your approval. Despatch of the real sample to you usually isn't required because this tends to increase the manufacturing and delivery times. Examples of some badges made by Belgique Badges are shown on this website. These samples are also available on request for your perusal. Customers who require the manufacture of a single sample, will be asked for an initial payment of $50. This fee is then deducted from the total of your account once you've committed to your order. Belgique Badges guarantees to remake your badges if you're not satisfied with the finished product.
