About us
A Legacy of Precision: Professional Identification Since 1984
Calgary’s Trusted Source for Custom Manufacturing
Founded in 1984, Express Badges began with a single mission: to provide the highest quality professional identification products with unmatched speed and accuracy. For over four decades, we have operated out of our state-of-the-art production facility in Calgary, Alberta, evolving from a local engraving shop into a national leader in corporate identity and industrial labeling.
The "Human Touch" in a Digital World
While we utilize the latest in laser technology and digital printing, our process remains rooted in human craftsmanship. We are one of the few manufacturers in Canada that maintains a physical sample archive for our clients. This means when you reorder a badge or industrial tag ten years after your first project, our technical team cross-references your new order with a physical sample on file to ensure 100% consistency in material, colour, and finish.
Our Core Specializations
We serve a diverse range of sectors, from high-stakes electrical engineering to luxury hospitality. Our expertise includes:
Corporate Identity: Premium metal and full-colour plastic name badges with clothing-safe magnetic attachments.
Industrial Identification: CSA and UL-compliant lamacoid tags, electrical panel labels, and phenolic legend plates designed for harsh environments.
Architectural Signage: Professional office door plates, desk signs, and directory boards.
Recognition & Awards: Custom engraved plaques and corporate achievement awards that celebrate excellence.
