    Introduction
    Metal badges are a popular and
    versatile way to display logos, slogans,
    and other designs. They can be used
    for a variety of purposes, such as
    identifying employees, promoting
    brands, and showing support for
    causes.
    Metal badges are made through a
    process called die-struck enameling.
    This process involves using a metal die
    to stamp a design into a piece of
    metal, and then filling the recessed
    area with enamel. The enamel is then
    fired in a kiln to harden it.
