Frequently asked questions.

The most common questions we get from new customers. Can't see yours? Drop us a line.

What's the minimum order?+

The minimum is generally 100 sets for standard blank components and one piece for machines and tools. Some specialist or custom-tooled products have higher minimums; contact us with the product and quantity for a firm quote.

How long does an order take?+

Standard component orders are typically prepared in 5–10 working days. Machines, larger orders and custom tooling can take 14–21 working days. We confirm the lead time before you order, excluding freight transit.

Do you print or press finished badges?+

No. Talent Badges supplies blank badge components, badge-making machines, moulds and tools. You print the artwork and press the finished badges yourself using compatible equipment.

Can you help me choose compatible blanks?+

Yes. Send us the make and model of your machine, the mould size, and photos or measurements of the components you currently use. Our product team will help identify the closest compatible option before you place an order.

Can I request component samples?+

Sample packs are available for qualifying volume orders. They let you check the component size, finish and machine compatibility before committing to a larger quantity. Ask us about availability for the product you need.

Where do you ship from, and how?+

Orders ship from Tianjin, China. You can choose sea freight for value or air freight for speed. Bulk orders can be palletised and smaller orders can go by parcel service. Freight is quoted per order based on weight, destination and service level.

What is included in a blank badge set?+

The contents depend on the badge format. A typical pin-badge set includes a metal shell, clear mylar and a pin back. Mirror, magnet, hair-accessory and other formats include the matching back or insert. Each product quote confirms exactly what is supplied.

Do you sell manual and pneumatic machines?+

Yes. Manual machines suit shorter runs and lower starting costs, while pneumatic machines are designed for higher-volume production. We can also supply compatible moulds, cutters and blank component sets.

Can you supply custom sizes or shapes?+

We hold tooling for 35 standard sizes and shapes, and custom tooling may be possible for higher-volume requirements. Send the dimensions, format and expected quantity so we can assess and quote it.

How do I pay?+

Bank transfer, card or PayPal for UK and EU customers. For first orders we typically take 50% deposit on quote acceptance with the balance due before dispatch. Established customers can pay on 30-day terms.
