[edit] Equipment

We used to have a round button type badge machine which got passed round various conventions. This is generally disliked nowadays because of the hassle of sticking pins through clothes.

Nowadays we laminate our own - possibly printed by a colour inkjet. The can be either pinned on, or attached by a loop.


Oh but round badge machines are such jolly fun. Do any still exist? Big ones I mean. Can you get the blamks?
