Match and name badges can come in a variety of shapes and colors. For best results and non interference, they should be in the area of approximately 2 1/4" X 2 1/4". You must consider the area for the shooters alias. It needs to be big enough to have room for an alias with a lot of letters and names. Any word can be shrunk to fit but the whole idea is to make your alias visible for those that don't know you. State outlines make good badges for state championships but if the state is small or odd shaped, it may not have enough room for all of the match information.

Wooden badges, a quarter if an inch thick, and are .75 cents additional, each. Thinner wooden badges can warp and break if they get wet and are not recommended for outdoor use, we no longer make the thin wooden badges. All wooden badges are subject to warping and there is no guarantee that they will remain flat.

Most shooter and name badges are $2.00 each plus shipping, when ordering 50 or more badges. Complicated, non stock shapes and orders for less than 50 badges, may require a set up fee. Unless noted, our badges are made on UV protected plastics.

For non stock materials, we need a 30 day advance notice of your quantity, so the material will be on hand. Stock pins are a 1 1/2", with an easy to hook spring. Others pins and magnets styles available on special order and for an additional fee. There is a wide variety of plastic colors available. Prices do not include shipping.

We can use some club logos for the badge. A test badge will be made to verify if the logo will engrave well enough for the badge. A photo of a completed badge will be E-mailed to you for your approval.

We can also produce "Clean Match" badges or medallions. We can make them with a pin or clasp back, or pre-drill them for mounting on the winners gun cart. The ones pictured below are approximately 2 1/2" circles with two optional pre-drilled mounting holes. As with all of our badges, they can be made with a large variety of shapes and designs. They are $2.00 each, plus shipping, when ordering 45 or more.

Badges with a cut out section, inside the outer edges like the marshal type badges at the bottom of the page, are .15 cents additional, per badge.

Once you decide who you want to make your match badges, let them know an approximate number and the color choice for the badges. It is a common practice to have different colors for vendors, sponsors, VIP's, RO's, special positions and Waddies. Most badge makers get between 45 and 50 badges per 1/4 sheet of laminate and can start your order long before you have the last entry. When possible, give the alias lists in groups so there is not a mad rush at the end. This helps the badge maker and you. This is helpful when ordering large numbers (300 or more).

We know you want every shooter to have a badge with their name on it. But, sooner or later you have to cut off the list to the badge maker. Getting extra blank badges should fill the late comers needs. We will work with you, up to the ship date, in an attempt to get most shooters badges made. Generally, we like to ship a full week prior to the day you need the badges for the shooters package or presentation.

Cowboy alias's are a real joy to type. They really don't comply with your average dictionary or the proper spelling of names. Even though we make two double checks, we can make an occasional mistake in spelling. When we make a boo boo, we will replace the badge at no charge. Even if it is discovered by the shooter when they pick up their shooters pack, we can still replace the badge after the match so they have one with the correct spelling. If we mess it up, we will fix it.

The spelling and punctuation sent to us, is exactly how the badge will be made. If there are periods after initials, the badge will have the same. If there are no periods after initials, that is how the badge will be made. Lists can be sent as an E-mail, PDF, Excel file or a text file. As additional names are sent, please just send the additions, not a new complete list. Putting the names in alphabetical order makes it easier to keep track of the list.

All badges are send USPS Priority mail with a tracking number.
