Are there setup fees, plate fees, or hidden costs on name badge orders?

Answered by NameBadge.com · Updated August 2026
No - NameBadge.com charges no setup fees, no plate fees, and no separate art fees. Badges start at $8.99 each, the per-badge price drops in bulk, and the price you see in the design tool is the price you pay. Free art and proofing help is included.

No. There are no setup fees, no plate fees, and no separate design or art charges at NameBadge.com. Because production is fully digital, there is no tooling to pay for, so the price you see when you build your badge is the price you pay.

What is included at no extra charge

  • Free art help - our team can clean up, resize, or recreate your logo for badge production at no design fee.
  • Free on-screen proof - you review your exact layout before anything is made.
  • No setup or plate fees - common on traditional print jobs, not here.
  • Quantity pricing built in - per-badge cost drops as you order more, from $8.99 each toward $3.99 each on large runs.

So what affects my total?

Only the badge itself: material, size, decoration method, add-ons like magnets or metal borders, and quantity - plus shipping (free on US orders over $200). See your full price in the free design tool or request a quote. Made in-house in the USA.
