OK I need to offer some badge options and explain them as best I can. The design is not set yet so we're only talking about the type of badge that we'll have. I learned a lot about making badges in a short period of time tonight, I'll list some of them and explain some of the differences and I hope everyone who is interested in a badge will read through this and vote in the poll.
#1 - PVC plastic card professionally printed, these have not been fully explored yet but from what I'm seeing theu will cost between $6 (optimistically) and maybe up to $10 or more. They look very good but organizing enough people to get a quantity discount and arranging payment, ect... might be difficult.
#2 - laminated cards, these are card stock badges laminated with plastic. This is probably the cheapest option but requires equipment purchase, badges would cost $2 - $3
#3 - printed badge labels on 30mil pvc cards, This is the best compromise I think. The one drawback to this option is the cost of the labels, the permanent attach labels are almost $200 for 500 labels but if we did 2 sided badges then that would only make 250 badges. these could be offered with the option of being one sided or 2 sided, the second side could be a horizontal wear option that would have 2 holes and could be worn horizontal or vertical, or it could be for forum owners titles, knifemaker titles, silver or gold membership titles, ect... These would run $3 - $4
There is another option but I can't seem to get the info I need without ordering it, I can't find out if it's plastic or paper (I searched hard) so for right now it's not really an option.
So please vote if you are interested in a badge or think you might be in the future and comment if you have a comment or idea.
