Making Badges in Auckland Since 1921

Badgemakers has passed the hundred-year mark, a century of dies cut, badges struck, medals ribboned and trophies engraved for New Zealand's schools, clubs, companies and national organisations. The tools have modernised, but the promise hasn't: 100% New Zealand owned, everything made properly, in our own workshop, by people who care how it turns out.

Ever wondered how we make badges?

Design & dies

Designs are created by us or supplied by you, then moulds or dies are cut, an intricate process in itself, and the foundation of every crisp badge we strike.

Pressing & plating

Copper or brass blanks are pressed with significant force and trimmed, fittings are attached, and each piece is electroplated in its chosen finish.

Colour & coating

Colours are filled by hand, then the badge is finished with a resin coating that protects the work for decades of wear.

What we need from you

  • High-resolution artwork (.eps, .ai or .cdr preferred)
  • Around four weeks' manufacturing time after quote acceptance
  • Sampling available on request
