What the wheat maple oval blank actually is
Each one starts as a real hardwood veneer face on a rigid core, with the artwork printed directly on the wood.
Maple is pale and even, which makes it the better wood for dark logos and small print. Hardwood veneer face, direct print, protective finish.
Wood grain varies piece to piece, so no two badges look identical. Keep them dry: standing water will raise the grain.
How much text fits on the oval
The printable window on this blank is 2.6 x 1.1 in, which leaves room for a centered name with a short title. The curved edges eat the last few characters on each line, so set long names one point smaller.
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 $15.30 each at low quantity. The same blank runs down to $14.95 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 wheat maple version
Farm-to-table restaurants, garden centers, outfitters, eco-forward brands and hotels going for warmth over shine.
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 oval size?
At the 26 pt name size we use for this blank you get roughly 13 characters, or about 9 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 wheat maple 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 real wood badges 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.
