Merit is our stylish custom badge that combines vibrant photo printing with a protective resin dome, creating a sleek and professional finish that’s perfect for events, recognition programs, and branded merchandise. Each Merit badge is produced using high-resolution photo printing, allowing you to showcase detailed logos, gradients, and complex artwork that wouldn’t be possible with traditional enamel coloring. The design is then sealed beneath a clear resin dome, which enhances color depth while protecting the artwork from everyday wear.

Fantastic service
I dealt with Cameron from Flashbay on two separate occasions in a week with two different orders. Feedback on my enquiry was immediate and designs and quotes were sent within 30 minutes. I was tied to a tight delivery window which Flashbay achieved with time to spare. Cameron immediately checked-in to see if the items were correct and to my satisfaction. Excellent service which I will use again.

Can I add a display card to my Merit Badge order?
Absolutely. You can add a Printed Badge Card, which can be branded on both sides in vibrant detail. The badge easily affixes to the card, making it perfect for trade shows, conferences, or retail displays.
What branding method is used for the Merit Badge?
The Merit Badge uses Photo Printing. This method is ideal for logos with many colours, shading, or complex gradients, as it reproduces images in full colour by combining CMYK colours for a high-quality, detailed result.
How does Photo Printing differ from other branding methods like Laser Engraving?
Photo Printing is best for full-colour, detailed designs and gradients, whereas Laser Engraving uses a high-powered laser to etch designs into a surface for a permanent, tactile mark. While Photo Printing offers vibrant colour reproduction, Laser Engraving is preferred for its exceptional precision and durability on materials like metal or wood.
What file formats should I provide for my Merit Badge design?
For the best results on your Merit Badge, please provide high-resolution artwork (300 DPI) in .png, .jpeg, or .gif formats. Avoid using low-resolution images lifted from websites, as these will not produce a high-quality print.
