Ive found one or two websites that'll do custom badges. I'm looking to make an Israeli Flag badge. But I'm wondering if anyone has an reviews about custom badges.

Also has anyone tried making badges at home? What did ya need?

 

I used cooperflags.com to get a couple custom badges made. They are very good quality and they were easy to work with.

I've also made several at home. Use an inkjet printer, some printable bumper sticker paper and clear laminate. Print the badge on the bumper sticker sheet, then cover it with the laminate. I ordered a heavy sheet of blank magnetic material and cut several 3" pieces. Then stick the badge on one of the magnets. Had to do that as I found the printable magnet sheets you can buy were too lightweight and would fly off. Even with the laminate though, water will eventually seep in and the inkjet will fade if left on.

So, the homemade ones are good for badges that are basically "throw aways" or maybe a one time need. I went to cooperflags.com for the ones that I wanted to be more "permanent".

 

Seconded> from the recommendation of Cooperflags to the short term viability of home printed badges (and window vinyl)

 

who makes the custom MINI wheel center caps is it Aesthetic Creations, they do a nice job.

 

Howsoon I always smile when I see you post. Huge Smiths fan myself. I'm frankly disappointed we're not peppering these posts with lyrical references like propa obsessives...

 

Here is an example the http://www.aestheticreations.net/# did, they are also vendors here on NAM. Albietm it is a Camaro badge but you can "Special Purchase" a MINI badge.

Lol The Smiths was a topic at my friends Turkey dinner last night. After eating dinner, his 17 an 20 year old sons were playing: There Is A Light That Never Goes, This Charming Man, and Everyday Is Like Sunday on their guitars. Was weird that I was that age (maybe younger) as well when I was first listening to the Smiths. Wonder if people will remember some of today's music 25 years later?
