Before lasers there were burins, spindles and diamonds, and for some jobs the traditional way is still the best way. Our rotary and diamond drag engraving cuts deep, ink-fillable lines that make it perfect for brass plaques, honours boards, trophy bands and pieces where classic engraved character matters.
Brass plaques are this technique's home ground: deep-cut letters, filled with ink for contrast, that stay crisp outdoors and in.
Adding this year's winner to a century-old honours board? Rotary and diamond drag lettering matches traditional engraving styles that lasers can't quite imitate.
The same craft that founded Badgemakers in 1921 still runs through our workshop, now guided by modern precision equipment.
