Custom Logo And Artwork

Every reel in this catalogue publishes two figures: the outer housing size and the recessed print area inside it. Those two numbers are what decide whether a logo lands cleanly, and they are the first thing to check, before colour, before quantity, before price.

Each Stage And What Goes Wrong There

The decisions that decide whether a carry accessory programme works are all taken before production starts.

Artwork Review

Problem A logo is approved against the housing size, then arrives cramped because the actual print area is the recess, not the housing.

How we handle it Artwork is compared to the published recess figure for the exact model, for example 20.8 x 20.8 mm inside a 32 x 32 mm square housing, or 33 mm inside a 40 mm round one.

Shape Matching

Problem A wide wordmark is forced into a circle, or a round device mark is dropped into a square face with uneven margins.

How we handle it The range carries square, round, oval, heart and bottle cap faces, so the housing is chosen to suit the mark rather than the mark redrawn to suit the housing.

Colour Selection

Problem A brand colour is agreed on screen and then cannot be held across a mixed order.

How we handle it Housing colours are picked from the colours the range already runs, such as red, blue, black, white, gold and silver, so the same colour repeats across models in one order.

Pre-Production Sample

Problem The first sight of the applied logo is the bulk shipment.

How we handle it A sample of the applied artwork is confirmed on the chosen housing before the run, by photo or by physical sample sent to the buyer.

Production And Fitting

Problem Branded housings arrive without the clip or strap and the badge office assembles them by hand.

How we handle it The fittings each model lists, belt clip, PVC strap, split ring, plastic or metal hook, are fitted before packing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What print area do I actually get on a badge reel?

The recess, not the housing. It runs from 19.5 mm up to 37 mm across this range, and every product page publishes the figure for that model.

Which housing shape suits a wordmark?

A square or oval face. The 32 x 32 mm square metal reel gives a 20.8 x 20.8 mm square recess, which holds a wordmark with an even border on four sides.

Can we see the logo before the full run?

Yes. Send artwork by email or WhatsApp and a sample of the applied logo is confirmed on the chosen housing before production.

Can one order use several housing shapes with the same logo?

Yes. Artwork is scaled to each model's recess, so a mixed order keeps one logo across square, round and oval faces.

What file should we send for artwork?

Send the highest resolution version you hold along with the exact colour reference, and it will be checked against the recess size for the model you have chosen.
