November 28th, 2009 No comments

epola hard enamel badgeIt is very important to get the correct badge type as we expected. There are many differences between the different custom badges types. In many cases Epola are the same as hard enamel.

Customized Epola badges are made from pouring powdered imitation enamel into the recesses of a die-struck (mold stamped) brass base. The colours are matched using actual Pantone Colors. After a very high temperature baking, the synthetic enamel is sanded and polished to flush out the metal lines that separate the colours on the badges. This gives the custom badges a smooth and lustrous quality.

These custom lapel badges are also namede as imitation cloisonne. These are very high quality pins but do not have the same durability as actual cloisonne badges.

The Power Of A Badge
permalink

DEA officer stops at a ranch in Texas , and talks with an old rancher. He tells the rancher, “I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs.” The rancher says, “Okay , but do not go in that field over there,” as he points out the location.

The DEA officer verbally explodes saying, ” Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me.” Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removes his badge and proudly displays it to the rancher. “See this badge? This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish….. On any land. No questions asked or answers given. Have I made myself clear? Do you understand? ”

The rancher nods politely, apologizes, and goes about his chores.

A short time later, the old rancher hears loud screams and sees the DEA officer running for his life chased by the rancher’s big Santa Gertrudis bull……

With every step the bull is gaining ground on the officer, and it seems likely that he’ll get gored before he reaches safety. The officer is clearly terrified. The rancher throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of his lungs…..

” Your badge. Show him your BADGE!

Badge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Source address: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badge

A badge is a device or accoutrement which is presented or displayed to indicate some feat of service, a special accomplishment, a symbol of authority granted by taking an oath (e.g., police and fire), a sign of legitimate employment or student status, or as a simple means of identification. They are also used in advertising, publicity, and for branding purposes.

Badges can be made from metal, plastic, leather, textile, rubber, etc., and they are commonly attached to clothing, bags, footwear, vehicles, home electrical equipment, etc.

Badges have become highly collectible: in the UK, for example, the Badge Collectors’ Circle has been in existence since 1980.[1]

In the military, badges are often used to denote qualifications received through military training, rank, etc. Similarly, youth organizations such as scouting and guiding use them to show group membership, awards and rank.

Textile badges or patches can be either woven or embroidered, and can be attached by gluing, iron-on,sewn or applique.

Members of fraternities and sororities often refer to the pins that signify their membership as badges.

One of the best-known badges is the typically star-shaped U.S. sheriff’s badge, made famous in Westerns.

The BBC children’s programme Blue Peter also awards its own “Blue Peter badge” to members of the public who appear on the show. These are highly collectible as they cannot be bought – except from people who have been awarded one and wish to sell it.

Case badges are thick (about 3 mm deep), 3 cm x 3 cm lucite stickers that are often packaged with various computer parts, such as processors and video cards. Modern computer cases are frequently embellished with an indentation on the case’s front panel to facilitate the affixing of a case badge.

In work places employees are often issued name badges which identify them. Name badges are also commonly issued in high schools and hospitals. They are often used to tell legitimate workers from impersonators.

Button badges are a highly collectable round badge with a plastic coating over a design or image. They often have a metal pin back or a safety pin style back. The most popular size is 25mm (1 inch) but the badges can range anywhere from this size right up to 120mm badges. This style of badge is often given as part of a birthday greeting such as a birthday card.
