What the gold 1.5 x 3 blank actually is
Each one starts as solid metal, cut and finished as one piece, with the artwork printed and sealed on the face.
Gold warms up navy, black and burgundy uniforms and photographs richer than silver, which is why hospitality and jewelry counters lean gold. Solid metal blank, printed face, protective clear coat.
This is the version that survives being dropped on tile. It holds its finish through years of daily wear, which is why it is usually bought once per person rather than by the box.
How much text fits on 1.5 x 3
The printable window on this blank is 2.75 x 1.25 in, which leaves room for a logo, a full first name at readable size and a department line underneath without crowding.
Names are the thing that breaks a layout, not titles. Set the longest name on your list first, then size everything else around it. If it will not fit at the size in the table below, drop to a first name plus last initial before you shrink the type, because a badge nobody can read from four feet away is worse than a shortened name.
Pin backing on this one
A bar pin is the cheapest, most foolproof backing. It will leave a pinhole, so it belongs on supplied uniforms, aprons and heavier fabrics rather than someone's own blouse.
Every badge ships assembled with the backing already attached, so nothing gets built on your end.
What it costs and when the price drops
This option is $17.35 each at low quantity. The same blank runs down to $13.35 once you reach the top quantity break, so a full-staff order lands well under a piecemeal one. Prices include setup and a digital proof.
Reordering the same artwork later costs the same as the first run. We keep the file, so a single replacement badge takes a name and a reply, not a fresh setup.
Who orders the gold version
Owners, GMs, physicians, funeral directors, luxury retail and anyone whose badge is part of the handshake.
If you are outfitting more than one department, order this variant for one group and use a different finish for the other. It reads as intentional and it makes badges easier to sort at the end of a shift.

Questions about this option
Will a long name fit on the 1.5 x 3 size?
At the 30 pt name size we use for this blank you get roughly 15 characters, or about 10 once a logo shares the badge. Longer than that and we set a first name with a last initial rather than shrinking the type.
Can I order a single gold badge?
Yes. There is no minimum, and one badge gets the same proof and the same production process as a hundred. Volume pricing starts at the first quantity break shown on this page.
Can I switch this to a different backing?
Yes. The same blank is offered with a magnetic backer if people wear their own clothing. Choose the backing in the design tool or note it on a quote.
How long does a executive metal order take?
Standard production is 5 to 8 business days after proof approval, with rush available in 1 to 3. Reorders of the same artwork move faster because the file is already set.
