Global Air, Inova Pharmaceuticals, Sandoz, Air Tec, to name but a few.
Not only do we have a standard range of name bars, but we specifically design name bar ranges to meet your needs. No minimum quantity! We also manufacture full colour lapel badges, pressed lapel badges, engraved and pressed name badges, as well as medals, key rings, cufflinks and tie slides. We also manufacture school badges and button badges.
In this day and age it is important to have your security personnel correctly identified. Symbolic Ware manufactures not only name badges, but photo identity cards. A uniform is not complete without shield / collar / cap badges or any other badges which reflect qualification or field of speciality. We also supply belts with printed buckle logos.
For the aviation industry we are excited to be able to provide pilots and cabin crew with much prized metal based wing badges in a gold plated or nickel plated finish – complete with airline logo.
Symbolic Ware has a range of standard metal based school badges – bar shaped, shield shaped or round. We also manufacture custom made badges to suite your school’s requirements and budget.
While a big portion of our business is the larger corporate market, we manufacture for the smaller clientele, as well as for the one-man businesses and burial societies. Our competent Graphics team are on hand to discuss badge designs. All manufacturing is done on site. We supply both nationally and internationally.
