- In order to print your text/logo on a ribbon, a die is required -- we offer two die options: polymer and metal
- Most customers use and are satisfied with the quality of the polymer die; however, be aware of two limiting factors:
          
1) Polymer dies can not print fine details
          
2) The quality printed from a polymer die may reduce as higher quantities are produced
- To avoid both of the previous problems and for the highest quality, Name Tag, Inc. recommends using a metal die
- Metal dies ALWAYS give a better print than the polymer die and are highly recommended for the following situations:
          
Fine details
          
Lots of text
          
Fine lines
          
Any color other than gold -- especially white or black printing
- Metal dies require 4 to 5 business days production time if your order is NOT expedited
           Expedited orders will require 2 business days time for the metal die production
- Based on the specifics of your order, Name Tag, Inc. may recommend to use a metal die to avoid poor printing quality
           You will be contacted before production begins if this is the case
