Badge Machine Hire

Sizes

We hire machines in 32mm, 58mm and 75mm.

58mm is the most popular size and we have several. We have only one 75mm machine, so if you need that size, book as far ahead as you can.

Don’t under-order your parts

Order more parts than you think you need. There is a strong tendency, once the machine is in front of you, to get carried away and make far more badges than you planned. It is mildly addictive.

You are not stuck with them. Anything above the first 100 sets is refunded when you return it, as long as the fronts, covers and backs come back in equal quantities and in resaleable condition. So the sensible thing is to over-order, use what you use, and bring the rest back.

We can prepare your badge fronts

If you would rather not cut your own, we can do it for you:

Plain cutouts — pre-cut blank circles, ready to draw on. Ideal for galas and children’s activities where everyone designs their own.

Printed and cut to your artwork — 15c each. We print your design and cut it to size, so on the day all you do is press.

If you would like printed fronts, send us your artwork when you book.

How it works

Book using the form below. Tell us the size, your dates and how many sets you need.

We confirm a machine is free for those dates and send you a payment link. Nothing is held until we confirm.

Collect or have it delivered. Pick up from our Henderson workshop at 3a/45 The Concourse, or we can freight the machine to you anywhere in New Zealand. Freight is quoted upfront and taken from your deposit. Delivery is next business day, but please allow 2 business days before your event.

Return the machine and any unused parts, and we release the balance of your deposit.

Payment for the hire and the parts is made in full at booking, along with the deposit.

The fine print

• The machine remains the property of Badge King at all times, and you are responsible for it from pickup or delivery until it is returned and checked in.
• Late returns are charged at $40 per day plus GST.
• Please do not dismantle, oil, modify or re-tool the machine. If something goes wrong, tell us and we will sort it.
• The press is hand operated with moving dies and can pinch fingers. It must not be used by under-16s without adult supervision.
• We photograph the machine before it leaves us and when it is returned, as a record of its condition.
