Custom Sublimated Name Badges - Handmade in Eden, NC
Full color, no minimums, faster than engraved. Made right here on The Boulevard.
Looking for engraved name badges? Before you order, see what full-color sublimation can do that engraving can't.
Sublimation prints directly into the badge surface — your logo, your colors, a photo, a gradient, fine text — all in vibrant, permanent full color. No scratching, no fading, no limitations on design complexity. And unlike most engravers, we have no minimum order requirement. Need one badge for a new employee starting Monday? We can do that.
Every badge we make is handcrafted right here on The Boulevard in Eden, NC by Oyster Creek Enterprises.

- Businesses — employee name badges, department identification, visitor badges, sales team credentials

Getting your custom sublimated name badges from Oyster Creek is simple. Contact us with your badge details — how many you need, what information goes on each badge (name, title, department, logo), and your preferred size. We'll send you a digital proof before anything is printed. Once you approve the proof, your badges are produced and ready quickly.
Send your logo in the highest resolution file you have — .ai, .eps, .pdf, or .png with a transparent background work best. Don't have a high-res logo? We can work with what you have or help you clean it up.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size are your sublimated name badges?
We offer standard name badge sizes. Contact us to discuss the right size for your application — different industries and events have different standard sizes and we'll match what works best for you.
Do you have a minimum order?
No minimum order. Need one badge or a hundred — we handle both.
Can you match our exact brand colors?
Yes. Sublimation prints in full color so we can match your brand colors precisely. Provide your logo file and any brand color specifications and we'll match them in the proof before printing.
How fast is your turnaround?
Faster than most engravers. Contact us for current turnaround times — rush orders may be accommodated depending on our schedule.
What file format do you need for my logo?
.ai, .eps, .pdf, or high-resolution .png with transparent background work best. If you only have a low-resolution file, contact us and we'll advise on options.
Do you ship or is pickup only?
Both. We ship nationally and you're always welcome to pick up in person at 250 The Blvd., Eden, NC.
Can I get badges with photos on them?
Yes — one of the biggest advantages of sublimation over engraving is the ability to include headshots or any image in full color directly on the badge surface.
