I'm looking for a source of professional case badges, based on custom graphics sent in by me. I ordered case badges from a place called securisysagency.com a long time ago, but they don't even respond to e-mail inquiries recently, so I don't know about trusting them again. Any other recommendations? I'm looking to spend no more than $2 per badge, in batches of 10 or more.

That's where we got our 1 year anniversary casebadges, too... I wasn't very impressed with the packaging quality. The badges themselves were good, but they were kind of thrown into an envelope, some sheets cut, some not, and the envelope was sort of bent and when I got it, there were at least 10 badges that came right off the adhesive backing sheet, rendering them useless.

I don't even know if they're in business anymore, to be honest.

The company Prime is referring to is

http://www.scotgold.com/

They were the cheapest and it matters not that they are UK based. They were friendly enough to deal with but, as Prime says, there were quality control issues. Most case badge makers contend with this issue as well.

I had a source for these, we had some done for my company a few years ago....I'll look it up when I am at the office later and see if I can track it down (was 3 years ago...) They were reasonably priced and the quality was good.

Oh man I have one of those badges that came off the sheet. As I was reading your post it dawned on me that I bought a big a$$ roll of double sided tape this weekend for another project. Man the many uses of double-sided tape!!!

I love my s-m badges! :D

I knew somebody was going to say that. I knew it, and I posted anyway. Silly me!

So when's our second anniversary? I can't remember. I have a sneaking suspicion that we might get some more case badges made then. And if that's not the plan, then let me drop a not-so-subtle hint :D

End of May/Beginning of June is the anniversary.

Well looky here... it's almost the end of April. Sounds like there's around a month until our 2nd aniversary. Boy oh boy, some badges sure would be cool to commemorate it and all. ;)

hint hint, nudge nudge, wink wink. aye aye, say no more, say no more...

Pretty much. But I'm sure the 2nd anniversary ones will be better :p

Right. Because newer is always better.

My case badge is stuck on SM18 (which is Prime's now)... I should prolly think about getting it back.
